The Mayweather double standard.

[TitoFan]

This topic sure stirs up a lot of emotion...



In any case, fact of the matter is: PBF is perceived to duck the best, particularly at the higher weights he's been in. Pacquiao is perceived to duck noone, fighting the best regardless. You can argue back and forth till the end of time. The perceptions are there.

Fact is, while PBF retires "on a whim" and goes off to Dance with the Stars and wrestle pro wrestlers... Pacquiao has been "nose to the grindstone", going up in weight and taking on the best.

So I shed no tears for "poor" little Floyd. Far as I'm concerned, he lost his p4p status a LONG time ago. He wants it back, he's gonna have to earn it. End of.

(Oh... and good choice on picking JMM there, Floyd. Attaway to stay out of harm's way by continuing to avoid the dangerous, bigger fighters.)

he started at 130, and just by looking at him you can tell he's no natural welterweight, and IMO his resume at 130 and 135 is a hell of a lot more impressive than Pacquiao's, but the not gonna bother arguing it until the actual PBF/PAC fight is on

And Pac started out a lot lower than 130. So to me, it's six of one... half dozen of the other. I still feel the perceptions are out there. And IMO, it's up to Floyd to dispel those perceptions.

hey tito, better remind morales here that pac started at 106, he had to put metal bars on his pockets so he could fight. find anybody who started out at minimum weight that stopped at guy at 147 and ko a lineal champ at 140 in two rounds and ill never post here again.
