Mayweather questions Pacquiao's commitment

100! Luck didn't have shit to do with that punch. He timed Pac's wild shit. That punch reminded me of Floyd's check hook on Hatton, only Juan's was a right hand and more of a straight punch. If you look at the tape of how both punches were set up you'll see the similarities.
He repeatedly threw the punch...
Only luck was it didn't land earlier...
Juan 3 and one draw imop
What i ment by "lucky" IMO was the fact that it was right on the button of the chin. YES he landed many other ones to the head/face but THIS one was right on sweet spot.. and "The Sweet Spot" is harder to catch than just a head shot.
He hasn't really had a tune up fight in almost a decade, unless fighting champions count. I guess Shamba Mitchell, but does that even count in a tradition sense, because guys don't generally fight champions when moving up. I don't know anymore because Floyd seems to have a different set of expectations.
Yeah it's a harder punch to land in terms of a direct hit but with Manny's fighting style the probability of landing that punch of your a accurate puncher increases greatly
That's not "luck" if the punch landed exactly where he was aiming it. That's like saying Lebron is "lucky" when he makes his shots, because he also missed the same shots at other times. Marquez planned that punch based on studying Pac's style. He even dropped his sparring partner with the exact punch in the exact situation as he did in the fight. You can't say that a punch that dropped Pac twice in the same fight was any form of "luck" the second time it landed. And Pac was only ahead by one point in that fight when he got put to sleep. It's not like Pac was "winning" by a wide margin and "got caught" on a fluke. It's also not like Marquez didn't out box Pac in their last fight, too.

Marquez has been out boxing this guy for years and people still want to discredit the man's win. He won the first two round dropped Pac in the third. Pac was coming back but Juan was right there with him when he landed that punch. This isn't the first time Marquez has been trading with motherfuckers and he shut out their light in the middle of them looking good. He is a counter puncher and he wants motherfuckers to get busy so he can do his job which is countering. Nothing was lucky about the punch. It wasn't a once in a lifetime punch. That is what he does.
BDR isn't saying it was luck.
No, the KO punch was a poor man's version of Mayweather's signature punch, the Pull Counter. It just wasn't as stylistically pleasing as when Mayweather does it.
He landed on the chin 40 seconds prior to the KO. It just wasn't as flush. It was just off the mark of where you're punching through your opponent.
Refer to the post above.
It's a shot. Floyd looks at Marquez should have been pissed because that could have been Floyd out there cleaning Manny's clock, but instead you let a guy who has lost to Manny three times get that "eye of the tiger", and beat Manny. Now that Manny vs Floyd is a worthless fight because there is nothing at stake.
Let em know lol
Floyd never need Manny as much as Manny needed Floyd. Floyd's already got more money than he knows what to do with and Manny blown what small percentage of his purse he'd earned. He's the one in debt with Bob Arum, not Floyd. Manny played games with the terms early on and eventually overestimated his cut in negotiations. Floyd had NO incentive to cave. They're talking about Floyd missing out on $100 million as if he won't make that in his next two fights anyway. Check the top all-time boxing purses, Floyd earned most of them. It's Manny who missed out.
co-sign, People don't remember how humble dude was as "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather, but "Money" Mayweather sells more tickets.....
Okay okay. Enough Manny vs Floyd. Shit! That fight is never happening. And him talking shit about Manny is irrelevant! If Mayweather does not fight Canelo, then he ain't shit! Not Manny or Marquez, or anybody else. He needs to prove to the boxing world that he is more than a safe prize fighter. But I bet his pride and money won't allow that.
Gotdamn tell em!!!!!
Its as if no one watched the last two that were stolen from Marquez
Money was throwing daggers, but he is right in how deadly that knock out was. Manny bettet chill for a bit, and not end up like jones jr.
oh it will definitely happen. in the sad tradition of many once great fighters finally meeting but years after they should have, to the greatly lessened interest of fight fans around the world.
Alaska just /ed this thread, ya'll being hardheaded.
Similar to the Foreman-Moorer knockout, where he threw the exact same punch that ko'ed Michael before, made an adjustment and landed a ko on the second shot.
While I think a fight with Alvarez would be a good fight, Mayweather doesnt have to prove shit to anybody. Dude's been a first ballot HoF guy for a decade and he knows the people that like him like him and those that hate him, hate him.
1st off who has Canelo beaten to even deserve a Money shot.
But, if it does happen, and there is a small chance, a true boxer will make Canelo look silly. Even Oscar says its way to soon for Canelo. Sometimes I wonder if niggas really know what they watching.
Mayweather will move left to right and take pot shots at that fool ala Diego Carrales. May even get the KO.
Floyd's nickname is "Money" & he makes fights based on that.
The biggest payday for him outside of Manny is Canelo. Look for those two to fight May 2013. It's that simple. The notion that he'd duck a $80 million dollar payday with Canelo is absurd.
Pac got careless and overconfident. It was clear to see that Marquez was setting him up but he went forward anyway. Had he let off and regrouped. He may went on an won.
You said this shit twice. Did you actually watch the Bradley fight and agree that he won, or are you saying since he won? Even Bradley knows he didn't win that fight. For the record, I will say Bradley has no chance against Floyd.
Pac didn't get careless; he got reckless, because that's the way he fights all the time. What Roger Mayweather cals "throwin' all that wild shit." Him getting KO'd was not an aberration or anomaly. Both Marquez and Pac were fighting their style--Pac reckless offense, Marquez aggressive defense--when Pac got laid out like a new born fuckin' baby. lol There's no reason to surmise he would have gone on to win, considering he'd been knocked down previous to getting KO'd and Marquez had come back from worse damage against him in previous matches. You can't count out a man who came back from getting knocked down 3 times in the first rounds and went on to fight to a controversial draw. Marquez simply has Pac's number. He finally punched it.
If you watched 24/7 not only was Marquez up at 5 am working out he was doing two-a-days WEEKS before Pacquiao got serious in the ring. Also when they trained they said "no cameras." They clearly had a strategy. I never underestimate a motherfucker that wants revenge. Like Pac said, "Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting pussy."
Marquez and Nacho wanted it more and the prepared like it.
For a second I was like
"Manny said that shit?!" Then I remembered... 2Pac. lol
For a second I was like
Manny would have said, "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I just Ummmmmmmm,. want to...ummm.. I just want to make people happy.."
Canello has only beaten Shane Mosley(dominated) and Kermit Cintron but he is 41-0 30KOs vs Floyd 43-0 26KOs. I think that noise coming out of DelaHoya's mouth is about him getting owned. The mandatory is that Guerreo dude who smashed Berto but again belts mean nothing to the big money fighters. Hopefully he dont do some lame duck shit and fight Marquez again, no challenge.
This right here^^
Bruh....Floyd's the best boxer around. The last fighter he KO'd who wasn't a midget had his hands down.
Knocking Canelo out. Just take the win, the money and everything else that goes with being undefeated. Knockout.
I know Pac fights wild and all but I am just talking about that moment he was being set up in clear view. Yet he went end like a dumbs ass. Even though Pac fights reckless..he still has some smarts about him and that moment wasn't it. Btw I said he may. Not he would have gone on to when.
Apparently not.Especially if your Black.as far as i'm concerned the undefeated champion can say whatever the fuck he wants
thought that was one of the benefits of being the champ
