Why would Mayweather be scared of Pacquiao?

[Nameless]

WHY?? WHY Because the guy killed mutant giant crab? Because he received mystic powers from unfathomable radiations maybe, something that doesn't get detected in blood and urine test and which are, according to the law, legal

Feel the truth

Let me first state that I think Pac is taylor made for Mayweather and I see a pretty one sided beat down by Mayweather in this fight. Manny is quick, but Floyd is faster and has better defense and will pick apart Manny.

That being said, Floyd is sure acting like a scared little b%tch. He would do so much to improve his image if he would have just taken the fight and beat Pac. Now even if Floyd fights pac and beats him there is a bad taste in alot of people's minds because Floyd is being such a whiner about the fight.

Floyd ain't fought anyone like him.

[Kel]

I don't believe Floyd is scared at all. I mean if you're scared, this is not the business for you. I just hope they can both just get past all the BS and make this fight happen. I would like to see a 40/40 split, with winner taking the other 20%.

Look, I know people say 'scared' but I think they mean in terms of Floyd losing his '0' not scared of fighting.

That's all he has in this sport to boast about really. That's all he ever goes on about. Without that '0' he ain't much.

A question i'm really interested to see answered, is when Mayweather actually does retire,,,, whether he continues to campaign for better drug testing in boxing. Or whether it was just added protection for him and his no loss record.....

And I have put myself in his position, having someone who have the most respect for swear to you that a potential opponent is absolutely taking PED's, then i'm sure I would be pretty steadfast about ensuring they don't take the drugs for my fight with them..
But one variable is that if Mayweather Sr actually had some form of evidence, he'd have come out with it. Especially with a court case against them for defamation. And I think Mayweather who has got as much from boxing as he has given it, should support their rules, including their drug rules... Every other fighter lives under those rules, and considering he has no proof that Pac has ever taking performance enhancers, it really leave me anyway, feeling robbed of a fight that really should be happening...

Someone like Cotto refusing to fight Margarito again at the chance he cheated in their previous fight,,,, OR at the fact he'd been proven to cheat period,,, well I completely understand that...

As much as I just wish Mayweather would settle, for the sake of everyone, I do understand where he's coming from.... It just sux, we could have seen this fight last November, and maybe even be having a rematch around now...

It may not be fear in the Scared of him sense...As in afraid to be hit by him etc....

The Scared part could be that for one Floyd was for so many years talked about as the best in the sport he was going through divisions like butter...He became a marquee especially after the DLH bout.....

Now there is another guy that has gone through the divisions quicker, fighting guys much bigger then him...Biggest man Floyd ever fought was DLH....Also Floyd has a big ego just because he is not afraid of Pacquiao physically he could be afraid of looking bad, even being dropped on his ass a few times...He sees a guy who fights hungry not for money...he sees a guy who is not all loud and obnoxious...a fighter that has beaten the shit out of guys Floyd did his best not to face...(No for the obnoxious ones about to make a dumb comment it has nothing to do with Floyd being scared but fact is fact and Floyd has never sought out the divisions most dangerous fighters since his days at 135 resume aND TIME HE FOUGHT GUYS AND WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO FIGHT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF) He ses a fighter who has endless stamina and one who is blinding fast and for those who do not think pacquiao is faster watch clips of their last fights side by side and use the slomo on your viewer to catch punch speed times.....He ses a fighter that can take shots from much bigger men and still stand......

In the end it all comes down to Floyds ego and fact he can not understand how it could be possible another man out there can do some better minus the defense....

You will be surprised what guys will avoid not because they are scared of person or situation but how they will look oin public if made to look a fool..

Like the school bully all of a sudden has to deal with a new kid who isnt afraid of him...The bully would probably kick his ass but if he pursued the fight it would not be easy and the intimidation factor would be gone so after a fight with the new kid he would find more and more kids standing up to him making it a whole lot harder to be a bully because he was made to no look so tough...Hence it is easier to just avoid the fight...EVEN IF HE WOULD WIN!

Good post

like some of you say floyd jr. has ducked certain fighters, the same can be said about pacquiao as well. back when pacquiao was in the lighter weights, everyone is well aware that joan guzman was calling him out repeatedly and pacquiao wanted no part of him. why is that? is it because he was being well protected from certain styles of fighters? then there is when juan diaz was an undefeated lightweight champion and he too, was calling pacquiao out. what happened? not a word from pacquiao's camp! only after juan diaz lost to nate campbell did pacquiao's fans say he would destroy him. but not a single word from them when diaz made those challenges. now, when pacquiao took a huge "risk" and challenged the (incomparable) david diaz, other lightweights were calling him out! but no, not a single word from the pacquiao camp. why? moving along...before mosley destroyed antonio margarito, roach said no way pacquiao would ever fight margarito. but only after mosley destroyed him, then all of a sudden, they considered margarito as a possible opponent. then when mosley said he would go down to 140 to fight pacquiao for his jr. welterweight title, again, pacquiao and roach ducked him. but when mayweather jr. toyed with mosley, then suddenly, pacquiao "could have easily beaten the old mosley".

do any of you sense a bit of hypocrisy here? oh, and let's not forget pacquiao ducking marquez for a third fight after pacquiao got an early christmas gift from the judges. marquez even humiliated pacquiao in front of all his fans and told pacquiao he wanted a rematch but all pacquiao could do was utter something like "um, a, aa, um, i, aa, was, um, lucky, um". lol....

any pacquiao claiming that mayweather is "ducking" pacquiao can't say a damned thing about their god, pacquiao because he too has a great reputation as a cherrypicker.

No big fights are ever split for the winner to gain any money. I can never figure out why... My bro and I think it should be 90/10 for the winner. Give the MFers something to fight for. WSOP style!

Pot calling the kettle black, bro. Mayweather wouldn't fight Margarito either.

Does Pacquiao have to fight Marquez a third time?? No. It would take Marquez 2 victories to edge Pacquiao... meanwhile Pacquiao fights better opposition and wins 10's millions.

And Pacquiao was fighting HOFers when Mayweather was fighting Carlos Manuel Baldomir. While Mayweather says he unified the WW division against a feather duster.... NO.. I don't think you quite realize... BALDOMIR WAS A FEATHER DUSTER MAKER

These level fighters only fight twice a year... They can't fight everybody at once!? You are placing unreasonable circumstances on a fighter to prove their worthiness.

Lastly I want to say that both of them have done a great job "handling" their careers. I never thought Pacquiao would make it this far (to Welter). But I always knew Mayweather was just taking out the trash. He's been in this division for a while and has left no noticeable dent aside from Mosley and De la Hoya (JMW)

jonny,

the reason why pacquiao should have fought marquez a third time because the first two were so inconclusive and the world WANTED the fight. it's funny how mayweather jr. is being called the "ducker" when it was pacquiao who ducked marquez back when marquez mattered. right now, everyone knows marquez is too old to compete with the younger world's elite fighters. but back when pacquiao got his early christmas present, aside from the judges, the VAST majority of boxing fans and boxing sportswriters thought marquez clearly won the rematch with pacquiao. back in the good ol' days of boxing, he had to convincingly beat the champion to take his title and pacquiao did not deserve that title from marquez. a real champion will grant a rematch after he's taken a world title when the majority of the world thought he didn't deserve it. so in my mind and millions of boxing fans minds, pacquiao ducked that third match with marquez. but isn't it very interesting that pacquiao had zero hesitation for signing up for a third fight with a washed up morales after he KO'd him? i know fighters duck one another but it seems pacquiao fans are the biggest hypocrites around. but it seems that nowadays, if someone questions pacquiao's greatness, it's all of the sudden very politically incorrect and taboo. hogwash! the truth needs to be said about pacquiao's shortcomings as well because although he is a great, great fighter, he falls short as a great, great warrior!

Dude you are starting to embaress yourself...Any Mayweather topic that comes up you act as if he can walk on water, you are using stupid shit like Pacquiao fans are hypocrites...You are confusing nuthuggers with people who can debate boxing...Johnny is the latter.....The third fight with Morales was because they were 1 and 1...Had to find out who the better man was...Not as if He KO'd Morales twice and went for the easy kill...Morales people pushed hard for that fight I promise you..

Stick with debating in a proper sense rather then the whole finger pointing shit if you want to be taken seriously

I hate these threads... Why I read them? I don't know.

[milmascaras1]

daxx,

did i ruffle your feathers or what? hey, i, too, am a pacman fan but i don't get delirious like you and other nuthuggers! furthermore, tell me, why in the hell would anyone want to rematch a fighter you've already KO'd? sure morales wanted a third fight but everyone knew he was completely done! as for fighting marquez a third time, the world wanted this fight like the world wants the floyd jr./pacquiao fight. funny how pacquiao's fans are calling floyd jr. names like chicken, ducker etc...but kept their mouths shut when marquez humiliated the cherrypicker in his own backyard!!! now can you see the hypocrisy? huh?

First of all I am not a nuthugger, so you need to get back into reality. Fact is and I stress FACT FACT FACT NO MATTER the topic who it is about if Mayweather is brought up you have nothing but praise of him..Great fighter yes but you get out of control....lIf the topic was jacking off your reply would be "No one Jacks off better then Floyd, he does it so fast and he can do it with both hands in every direction"....You do exactly what you accuse everyone else of doing....Ruffle my feathers? No.... I don't know you and if you never logged on again it would effect me zero but if you are going to be a fan boy and make the same statements over and over again I will call you out on it....If you don't want to be called out on it don't post....Thats why it is a forum...It isn't personal

I am sure I post things that make others feel the same way

floyd fought the smaller jmm (without any further demands except cheating on the weighing scale) because according to floyd, jmm is the #2 p4p boxer.

so why not fight the #1 p4p guy, manny pacquiao?

team floyd said pacquiao is an easy fight for floyd. make the fight floyd and dominate pacquiao same as how you dominated the smaller #2 p4p guy in jmm.
