PAC vs MONEY OFFICIAL THREAD!

All I can tel you is that anything can happen in the fight game, hence Bradley's "victory" over Manny three years ago, a fight he clearly lost. I've seen so many bad decisions nothing ever surprises me anymore. I think it's a very corrupt sport and I don't trust the officials either. Let's see, you are getting paid a couple thou to be a judge, but you can make 100 thou to lean one way or the other.

For that reason and many others, I don't think Manny has a snowball's chance in Hell fighting Maybaby in Vegas. Even if he wins a close one, he'll never get the nod! JMHO as always. :wink:
 
I posted previously somewhere on AZ, I think Floyd outright loses or takes a dive. This fight 48, 2 more is 50. First fight: Floyd loses one way or another, second fight: Floyd crushes Manny by decision, Third fight: Floyd destroys Manny with a KO, retires into the sunset with about 200 million from 3 fights at 49-1 and unequivocal richest purse fighter ever. He's not Floyd "sugar" or "rocky" Mayweather, he's Floyd "money" Mayweather. Last time he got over on me was when I paid to see fight DeLaHoya. Oh how I did enjoy Oscar beating that roided up Vargas kids ass. That was great, I love boxing almost as much as pool.
 
Shake it off, lol

I agree that Manny may have had a better chance a few years back but who's to say he wasn't the underdog then either? He still had a suspect chin then as he still does now. Floyd imo is clearly on another level. Not taking anything away from pac. But Manny doesn't do anything exceptionally well that Floyd won't be able to neutralize. And if people think Manny has a punchers chance (and I agree that's his only chance), then remember that the best punch ever landed on him was by Mosley who's one of the hardest punchers ever in that division. Did it hurt Floyd? oh yes. Did he go down? no. Did he recover quickly? yes, before the end of the round he was fine. Did he ever get hit again? No, he adjusted and Shane wasn't able to get to him again for the whole fight. Floyd is also a smarter fighter than pac and anyone he's fought.

The only thing I regret is having a horrible memory. This was after the DeLaHoya fight when "money" took a shot like never before and tried to act "like it didn't" hurt. He recovered and came back but he made sure not to let "Sugar" Shane catch him again. I don't remember what year it was but I bet Shane was past his prime.

The Mosley fight was a few years after the DLH fight. Shane was definitely past his prime at that point, although still dangerous (he was coming off a win over Margarito I think, and was the lineal WW champ).

He caught Floyd twice. One shot hurt him, the other not so much. The shot that hurt him was huge, but Floyd dealt with it well, recovered, and took over a couple of rounds later.

I love Manny or at least the public persona. Mayweather on the other hand does not enjoy the same public popularity that Manny has. Mayweather is the reason this is a @50 million dollar fight. Manny's recent record would ordinarily not warrant a PPV appearance. Mayweather has never been afaraid of Manny, that's silly.
I believe Mayweather's refusal to fight before had a little to do with Bob Arum. his former promoter. Freddy Roach said that Manny's best chance is now and had they met 6 years ago Manny likely would have loss. Roach felt Mayweather was much tougher 6 yers ago and may have slowed down a bit. I feel people hate Mayweather so much they forget that NOBODY felt Manny was a BEAST until he beat an old washed up Oscar Dela Hoya.

But I give you respect for your post because you give both fighter credit for their skill. By the way, they both aged at the same rate except Manny has had tough fights and almost blew this fight by getting knocked out.If this fight had taken place 5 or 6 years ago there is no way it would be this big. If Manny had not loss twice and been knock cold once this might have been even bigger.

In the end you sound like you like Floyd?

Agreed. Floyd isn't as popular though I think he uses that bad guy persona to sell more tickets (which works, he's a huge draw). And yeah, I definitely like Floyd in the fight. I just don't think Manny can do anything that Mayweather won't be able to neutralize.
 
I don't know a lot from boxing scenes but I know quite a lot fighting.
Manny gonna take this because he is killer imo. I believe he got carried away by good life but he's gonna dig old fighter from him and kill Mayweather.
No facts to support my opinion. Just my feel.
 
bullsht...

If Pacman didn't get knocked out, the fight STILL wouldn't be happening...

"Money" has been scared of Pacman for the better part of a decade and it's only closing in on the end of his career and wanting to cash in on the most anticipated fight that makes him willing to risk it now.

People forget about Maidana, who's also VERY heavy handed and bigger than Floyd, and he (Floyd) managed to survive those 2 fights. Also, the whole southpaw argument is moot at their level. There isn't any advantage that a southpaw holds over a conventional fighter that doesn't work in reverse, except for experience.
 
mayweather on points. since mayweather beat DLH, and even before that win, hes been the best pro fighter out there. ppl hate on floyd because of his personality, but in the end he is definitely one of the most talented boxers of all time. pacman has a punchers chance against him, but its not easy to land a clean punch on mayweather...
 
Pac

I think 5 years ago, it would have been all Floyd ... no doubt about it. But, I don't think he moves as well and he is gonna get hit in this fight. And he doesn't throw enough punches in a round to overcome those hits on points. Tyson said it best, every fighter that has given Pac problems average 100+ punches thrown per round.

It will either go the distance and Pac wins on points or Floyd is gonna get hit hard and goes down.

For those who's saying Manny needs a KO to win, you could be in for a big surprise. Floyd almost always starts slow, measuring his counterpart in the first few rounds, that wouldn't fly against the Pacman. Once you give Pacquiao a 4-5 round headstart, Floyd is in for a looong night. He will play catch-up in the middle rounds and will overextend himself at some point and will be caught. Manny is the busier of the 2, no way his defense will win a round for Floyd, unless he can outthrow And outconnect Manny in every round. And for some you who doesn't pay much attention to boxing, Floyd's Achilles heel are the Southpaws, and we all know Manny is not just your ordinary left out there. Floyd's vaunted "shoulder roll" doesn't work on lefties, and this wll be the first time he'll be facing an opponent who has or probably has more hand & foot speed as his. Manny's unpredictabity will be too much for Floyd come May 2nd...
