Title: Manny Pacquiao the Greatest Boxer Since Muhammad Ali
Post by: The_Hammer on November 14, 2009, 09:53:50 PM
Can't think of a better boxer in the past 3 decades. He has completely overshadowed Floyd Mayweather. He has become a bigger cash cow than Oscar De La Hoya.

He is great, that's for sure.

Mayweather will never step in the ring with him, damn shame

Pacquiao’s performance was so good that no one laughed when promoter Bob Arum said he believes Pacquiao is the best fighter he ever saw. And yes, Arum included Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvelous Marvin Hagler in that group.

Bob Arum has seen more fights than most of us put together....He knows his shit....for him to state that means a little more than anonymous people on the internets bickering over who's the best.

Just watched it on sky sports,it was like watching a wildlife documentary where a killer whale plays with a baby seal.At the end Pac didn`t look like he`d even been in a fight yet Cotto looked like he`d been hit by a truck.Made me smile when the commentator said that Pac was booked in to sing at a concert a couple of hours after the fight,now thats confidence.

Nobody can really exchange punches with Pacman because they'll just get tagged.
To beat Pacquioa you have to box/counter punch him and thats why I believe Mayweather will be the favourite if they ever fought

Pacquiao has not only speed but serious power and accuracy aswell, those uppercuts killed Cotto.

I wont go as far as saying Pacquiao is as good as Ali but IMO he is definetly nearing that stage. top 10 ATG for sure

Pacquiao v Mayweather would be an awesome fight. Manny was just incredible against Cotto, with some of the most accurate and fast punches i have ever seen. Mayweather is technically the best defensive boxer competing today.

Lets hope they can get it on.
Title: Re: Manny Pacquiao the Greatest Boxer Since Muhammad Ali
Post by: big man on November 16, 2009, 12:34:39 AM
.... not to make early predictions, but I hope Floyd and Manny do fight.

My opinion, Floyd beats Manny. When I was watching the brutality Manny put on Cotto I noticed that as soon as Cotto started shifting around in the ring and boxing Manny, instead of engaging, Manny was off balance. Even though Manny knocked him down If Cotto had the retreat and fight skills that Floyd has (and has perfected) it would have been a much closer fight.

Manny is a sharp, strong fighter with a ill will to win, but Floyd hates to lose in fact he hasn't lost? He thinks in the ring and sees everything. It will be an interesting fight if it ever takes place....My 2 cents
Title: Re: Manny Pacquiao the Greatest Boxer Since Muhammad Ali
Post by: bodybuilder1234 on November 16, 2009, 02:24:36 AM
People have to realise that Cotto was more or less made for Pacquiao because he was a come forward type of fighter, he has good boxing skills but its no comparison to fighters like Marquez and Mayweather.
Pacquiao would not be the favourite against Floyd Mayweather.

PacMan vs. PBF would be the fight of the 2000's so far.

I lean towards Mayweather.  I don't know if Pac can get a good shot at him,
although PBF can get lazy in there.  Pacman is a machine.

Hard fight to call.

Manny is fucking great, no doubt.

But as much as we can call Mayweather a pussy....he's great too. He would be by far the best fighter manny has ever faced

Mayweather destroys everyone who gets in the ring with him as well. He beat Hatton much worse than Manny beat Cotto, and Hatton's toughness is well known

Edit:  I fucked up. I was thinking of when Manny killed Hatton.

Still a toss-up

A lot of casual fans in this thread. Marquez beat Pac twice with fair officiating. Manny has improved and continues to do so, he is a great fighter, exceptional in fact. I would still struggle to put him top 30 all time though, there have been a lot of great fighters and he is one of many.

Mayweather is a very bad style matchup for him.

1. manny ducked a 40mill fight with mayweather because he didnt want to take a blood test

2. he wanted to fight mosley at 140 when mosley hasnt been at that weight for almost 10 years thinking mosley will back out. when mosley said yes he bitched out

3. he is being fed fighter that go well with his style.

4. if he fights mayweather he will get schooled like no tomorrow and if anyone thinks other wise i suggest you go watch any of mayweathers fights

5. since when did an asian become the greatest fighter since ali considering he has never fought any good black opponents.

They didn't have time to promote the fight correctly. Manny wanted to get it on right away and Floyd didn't. Plus Arum and Top Rank have beef with the Mayweather camp. There's alot to it. The only card Mayweather could draw to get out of the event was drug tests. The idea flopped, everybody still loves Manny, Manny is gonna sell 2 million PPV buys, and Sugar Shane is going to expose Mayweather May 1st. After Manny beats Clottey by unanimous decision tomorrow. Manny gets the winner of the May 1st fight to unify. If Manny does that it's either retirement or moving up yet another weight class.

Either way Mayweather made the biggest mistake of his life retiring in his prime. Totally dropped the ball with a rematch with De La Hoya and choose TV instead. His days are numbered and he will turn into just another opponent just like Holyfield and Roy Jones. No doubt 100% guaranteed once this guy losses he's gonna keep on loosing and keep on fighting. Thats the Money Mayweather I'm looking forward to watching.  

Yup. there was a lot more to it than I'll ever know.

it just seemed to me that neither side lost any sleep that the fight was scuttled

Zab Judah's faster, Floyd Mayweather is faster. Mosley in his prime was faster and I'd say Oscar in his prime was also. What makes Pac impressive is the volume of punches he throws without slowing down throughout an entire fight, and he can throw punches from odd angles.

You gotta be kidding. Mayweather just destroyed Marquez, a man that almost beat Manny 2 times and many believe Marquez beat Manny the second time. Mayweather made his fight with Marquez look like a joke, like he wasn't even serious. Floyd will beat Manny with relative ease, trust me. He is that damn good. Pac, his trainer Roach more specifically, always has an advantage coming into the fights with Pac's opponents. Usually it's making other fighters come down in weight to drain them. Pac looked like a hero going in with the larger Oscar but at the end of the day it was Oscar draining himself to make the catch weight. He was sick, on IV's leading into the fight and was totally drained and weak. Roach bet on this happening, even said to the media before the fight that Oscar can't fight at that weight and was totally right. Pac's team has thrived on finding advantages over their opposition. You look at Hatton, Oscar and Cotto and the list goes on. All of those fighters were at some kind of disadvantage.

little man w short arms vs a nasty, nast counter puncher

2. he wanted to fight mosley at 140 when mosley hasnt been at that weight for almost 10 years thinking mosley will back out. when mosley said yes he bitched out

roach said mosley balloons to 160 come fight time while manny has a hard time hitting 140.  too big for manny.

3. he is being fed fighter that go well with his style.

poor head movement, descent hand speed n fight chin first...oscar, hatton n cotto

4. if he fights mayweather he will get schooled like no tomorrow and if anyone thinks other wise i suggest you go watch any of mayweathers fights

see above

5. since when did an asian become the greatest fighter since ali considering he has never fought any good black opponents.

no comment...since chaos will claim an agenda. but will say it will go the distance with clottey but pac has paul williams type output so he'll pt it for a win.

See I don't get it either? But I've talked to many people and they always say watching Manny on TV isn't like watching him 1st row. I'm a Manny fan. But When I watch him fight it's not like he's a lightning bolt. Either way he's winning tomorrow. His next big fight is either to unify the Welter Division or moving up in weight to break all time records.

Your the kind of guy I can sell his own car too. I bet I can sell you your own living room furniture. Where are you from??? This is buisiness my Man. Arum doesn't want to cut the purse in half. This is personal. Next time they negotiate the purse is gonna be even higher then it was once expected. Manny is P4P and has an easy opponent in front of him. Mayweather is trying to prove he's P4P and had HOF one of the greatest ever Shane Mosley in front of him. This is prize fighting. Arum and Top Rank aren't playing ball with Money and Uncle Rog. MANNY DOES NOT NEED MAYWEATHER. MANNY IS BOXING TOP DRAW. Top Rank is never going to bend over for Floyd Mayweathers camp. Say whatever you want. All the cards are in Bob Arums hands. What goes around comes around Floyd.

This is personal. Next time they negotiate the purse is gonna be even higher then it was once expected. Manny is P4P and has an easy opponent in front of him. Mayweather is trying to prove he's P4P and had HOF one of the greatest ever Shane Mosley in front of him. This is prize fighting. Arum and Top Rank aren't playing ball with Money and Uncle Rog. MANNY DOES NOT NEED MAYWEATHER. MANNY IS BOXING TOP DRAW. Top Rank is never going to bend over for Floyd Mayweathers camp. Say whatever you want. All the cards are in Bob Arums hands. What goes around comes around Floyd.



And you think Mayweather needs Manny? What happens when Mayweather beats Mosley? His market value goes up. What happens if Pac beats Clottey, his stays the same and has a chance of going down if Clottey puts up a good fight. When both fights are done and both win, Mayweather is in a much better position than before. Not to mention Mayweather and Mosley are going to do much bigger PPV buys. Pretty good business sense on Arum eh?  ::)

Let's not forget Manny has been defeated. He's been knocked out twice earlier in his career. Marquez arguably beat him at least one of the two ULTRA close fights, the man Mayweather made look like an amateur. The only reason anyone has Manny ahead on the P4P list is because Floyd retired and gave it up.

Oh, I understand the business, but what kind of business is it to make your fighter look like a cheater and completely tarnish his rep? Humm eh?

Things that make you go hummm

Suspicions,suspicions,suspicions .
I'm not saying that Manny uses PED or not but that video doesn't prove shit .

Inductive reasoning.

If we see smoke it is acceptable for us with a high probability to assume the smoke is coming from a fire without seeing a fire. Many suspicious things would make a reasonable person consider that something is wrong.

Pac has a different excuse each time: afraid of needles (but he has tattoos), blood loss weakens him,

Pac has no idea what he is taking, so he says

Pac says he doesn't even know what a steroid is  :D  ::)

Roach said he knew nothing about roids yet if you listen to his comments about James Toney you realize that is a lie

Pac's performance unexpectedly improved at a late point in his career

Pac's insistence that the testing be within a specific window of time

Pac accepts random blood test when caught off guard.

Pac declines random test.

Pac says blood test 2 days within fight weakens him.

Pac is offered 14 day window.

Pac says 24 days is safe now.

Pac gives blood test 20 days before Clottey fight.

Pac's trainer says 5 days would have been fine. (after fight is scrapped)

I only needed to read the first two sentences of your post. Where's Floyd gonna go? The guy ducks everybody. The greatest fighters fight the greatest fighters. Fighting Mosley is the first time Floyd is putting his nuts on the chopping block. The only reason he agreed to fight Mosley is because he had no choice! Who was he gonna fight? Malinaggi? Baby Bull? Hattons brother? Marquez had to gain 17 lbs! Mayweather didn't even disclose his weight come fight night. Before that fight he was sitting on the shelf. The difference here is? If Manny looses he'll retire and we'll never here from him again. Mayweather looses once? He's gonna keep fighting and keep loosing. Just like Roy Jones.

Mayweather tried. He's not Derek Jeter. He's not Tiger Woods. He's not Jordan. Last time I saw. Nike signed Manny.

Mayweather was fighting a past his prime version of Marquez, about 14 lb+ removed from the weight that Manny thought him at. A joke of a fight that nobody thought would be competative or wanted to see.

I would make Mayweather a big favourite against Pac based upon styles. They have both been just as managed career wise as one another and both had their role to play in the fight not coming off.

Neither of them would fare well against guys like prime Mosley, De La Hoya, Whitaker at welter.

Who has Mayweather ducked? Mayweather fought Oscar, when Oscar was not too far off his prime and not weight drained -- you see, Pac always has an edge in his fights, he fights weight drained opponents or opponents over the hill. Roach always finds a strong advantage over Pac's opponents. He even admitted to the media before the Oscar fight that Oscar couldnt pull the trigger anymore and can't make that weight successfully. He was right, and even though people though that Oscar would win, which I didn't, it was an easy, calculated and safe fight for pac. Roach has a very keen eye for this. He knows Mayweather will beat Pac, and there's no way Pac is going into that fight clean hence the walk away from a 30 million dollar tablespoon of blood.

Mayweathers fought Judah, Hatton, who he softened up for Pac, Castillo, Marquez, Baldomir, and the list goes on. Pac has chosen what should be an easy opponent tomorrow night, Mayweather could have fought any of those you listed and would have been no different but he's taking on a legit challenge. I don't see your point. When the dust settles, Floyd will be in the drivers seat.

You know what, Oscar is one of my all-time favorites fighters, but I have to wonder how much better prime Oscar would have done against that version of Pac he fought that night. Mind you that weight drain issue had to play a huge role

I'm looking forward to this fight - I honestly think Mosley can give him trouble.

Also, it would be nice to see Mosley smash Floyd, as he's always come across as a decent kind of chap (if you ignore the steroids and epo stuff).

Pacquiao = Overated & overhyped.  Devastating ko against a no chin Hattan,  Couldn't even hurt a washed up De La Hoya aftyer hitting him so many times, tko against a shot Cotto.  He will lose tonight against the 1st fighter he's faced in their prime w excellent chin.  I give him credit to take fight but he should've fought Mayweather and collect his last big payday.  His stock goes way down after he's exposed tonight.

Mayweather = pound 4 pound best in the game righ now, shoulda fought and beat Pacquiao easily.  No one else will bring that much money, and to simple shut up all the manny nut huggers who knows nothing

I don't agree that pacman is overrated however I do agree that clottey has a decent shot at pulling this off...More so than Mosely(at this point in his career)has a chance of beating mayweather...so yea props to pacman for fighting a legit opponet in his prime vs floyd fighting an old washed up fighter thats due to retire....

dont agree with you.  flip this over.  pac has MAJOR problems with a 160 mosley, i mean MAJOR...where as FMW could counter punch his way to an easy win over Clotty.  FMW better be up for that May cause he cant win it sitting on the ropes against Mosley playing counter me.  This thing will be close with a possilbe BS decision to FMW to keep a big money fight alive.  On other hand Pac will probably punch his way to a win.  Boy...you have to take the fight in tight against Clotty with his def, and he aint short on head butts, iffy shorts, etc but his brittle hand on Pac HGH head?

the monsters are paul williams with his ability to fight 147-165.  that's insane.  no hearns power for his size..but he comes to work n chin is worth a mint.  berto is another one.  was surprised mosley was going to take that fight but was looking for paycheck.  



williams vs martinez I.  II will be nice.

joshua will shell up and put the ear muffs on (like he always does) absorb shots (like he always does) and WON"T throw enough shots when he needs to (like he always does) then claim he was robbed like he did vs cotto and margarito.

this dude is all wrong vs combination punchers and/or volume types. Hell even against Zab...all zab had to do was stay on his toes and simply box him and he would have walked away UD....but we all know zab....falls apart after round one.

tailor made fight.

Lol, too true. Watched Tzyu v Judah again recently, and if only he could manage to fight like he did in that first round for a whole fight without having a brainfart he would have been an awesome fighter.

Did manage it against Spinks, though.

Zab has (had) all the tools man....mentally the guy just notoriously falls apart in there. He was right there speed for speed, punch for punch with mayweather early on..and right on cue he fell apart...then the ass kicking fest began.

Good post man. Clottey isn't going to be able to pull this off. Things could change drastically if they clash heads though? The victory over Cotto really is giving Manny alot more confidence to be in there with the bigger guys. He's gonna come out blazing! Really looking forward to this and especially what Roach will say post fight interview.

He better not even think of mentioning mayweather....6 days is why this fight didn't happen...6 days....won't take a damn "random" "possible" sample 14 days out but will 20 days out....bull fkn sh*t.. mental edge my ass roach...(but I'm not even about to go back into that discussion)...fk top rank, arum, roach and that EPO smoothie drinking azz junkie.

Let me clarify, he's overated in this division.  Way overated and I think you'll see it tonight.  Styles make fight, I think Mosley with his granite chin, still fast hands and not to mention being much biger than Pac, beats pac even easier than Mayweather.
