blah blah lack of knowledge. All of Roach fighters fight the same way he used to fight. I can play that game too.

Khan had zero defense under Roach... I can do that too.

the post was about Roach being overrated and making comparisons instead you're coming out gun blazing sitting behind your screen talking to me outta my ass (you said it negga)

You must be feeling something cuz you been aggy for the past week :sas1:

I d fly to come watch the fight with you. Tickets not an issue. I wanna look you in the eye after every right hand landed on Pac face. I wanna see you shiver and get mad.

Oh yeah, I d take your lemon pepper wings too :umad:


:russ:


Lemon Pepper wings:ahh:

When the objective of the sport is bodily harm, you have to have testing," he said. "This isn't hitting a ball over fence or running faster than the guy next to you. It's about bashing a guy's brains in. The combat sports more than others need 24-7-365 testing."

Even Victor Conte agrees with the shyt I've been saying. Also, isn't all haymon fights subject to year round testing now?

They are supposed to be:ahh:


And I agree as well. Anyone who refuses to take drug testing in this era is automatically suspicious and I would love to know a Boxer is the best because of his God given abilities....not because of a needle:birdman:


24-7 365 random drug testing should be mandatory imo as well in this sport and MMA as well:obama:

Manny Pacquiao burst onto the world boxing scene more than a decade ago, capturing the fans’ imagination with an intoxicating blend of speed and power that left many opponents in a heap on the canvas.

All told, Pacquiao has won 10 world titles in a record eight weight classes – four of them as lineal champion.

His first was the WBC flyweight belt, which he won in Thailand just two weeks before his 20th birthday in 1998. He lost the title in his second defense in part because of weight problems, but resurfaced at junior featherweight. It changed his life and boxing.

In his stunning breakout performance, Pacquiao won the IBF title by stopping rising star Lehlo Ledwaba in eight rounds on the Oscar De La Hoya-Javier Castillejo card at the MGM Grand in 2001.

Pacquiao became a true crossover star with his compelling nine-fight series against the great Mexican trio of Marco Antonio Barrera (2-0), Erik Morales (2-1) and archrival Juan Manuel Marquez (2-1-1).

Pacquiao also boasts impressive wins over many other big-name opponents, including David Diaz, De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Brandon Rios and Tim Bradley.

The past few years have been challenging for Pacquiao. He lost a controversial split decision to Bradley in June 2012 – his first setback since 2005 – and suffered a one-punch knockout against Marquez six months later.

However, Pacquiao bounced back with three wins – Rios, Bradley in their rematch and then Chris Algieri – to dismiss any notion that he was finished as an elite fighter. His newfound momentum set up the showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 2.

Pacquiao is currently 14-2-2, with eight knockouts, in world-title fights.

One thing that can’t be quantified, though, is the proud Filipino’s profound connection with his people.

“Bringing glory to my country and my people with each victory renews my pride in my Filipino heritage,” Pacquiao told THE RING. “Moving up two weight divisions to beat Oscar De La Hoya and being named Fighter of the Decade by the BWAA are my next proudest accomplishments.”

Pacquiao is very busy outside of boxing. He has five children with his wife, Jinkee. He also is a congressman for the Sarangani district and a reserve officer in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He has appeared in several movies, is a recorded singer and is player/coach of a pro basketball team in his home country.

He graciously agreed to speak to THE RING about the best he has faced in 10 key categories.

BEST JAB
Oscar De La Hoya: His jab is a tactical weapon. It can set up a punch or act as a weapon.

BEST PUNCHER
Miguel Cotto: I can still feel some of those punches he threw at me. Staying on the ropes is not the best place to be when you are fighting him. He’s also accurate. He’s incredible.

FASTEST HANDS
Lehlo Ledwaba: His hands were blazing.

FASTEST FEET
De La Hoya: He moves so quickly and effortlessly. He is a complete athlete.

SMARTEST
Cotto: It was hard to bait him. He has seen it all. I really had to out-hustle him. He made me work.

BEST CHIN
Antonio Margarito: That fight was a war. It was brutal. I threw everything at him and he not only took it but came back for more. Incredible.

STRONGEST
Margarito: Big and strong is an understatement. His body shots hurt me several times throughout our fight.

BEST DEFENSE
Joshua Clottey: And not for a good reason, at least for the fans.

BEST SKILL SET
Juan Manuel Marquez: He is the only fighter who really could figure me out and anticipate my moves. He is a brilliant counterpuncher and a tremendous warrior.

BEST OVERALL
Several: I cannot specify one. Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales all had tremendous skills. They commanded respect because they were all multi-dimensional. I had to be on my toes and give them my 100 percent concentration because they were so dangerous in the ring.

where do these guys rank historically in boxing and where do they rank depending on saturdays outcome? steve bunce has an article talking about the fight and casually mentions that oscar de la hoya in his prime would have beaten both. and when you think about it, its hard to argue. oscar at his best was at light welterweight to me, he was fast, hit very hard, and was more measured. i still think the first chavez fight was his best performance. plus u see how hard it was for floyd to beat an older oscar and its hard to seehim beating oscar in his prime.

i dont even take manny win over oscar that serious. dlh was weight drained.

at the same time i dont wanna take away from floyd and manny, 2 great fighters.

floyd doesnt hit hard enough for me to rank him with the leonards, durans, hearns and haglers, let alone robinson and armstrongs. i think manny should rank higher than floyd historically just cause his achievements are more incredible for one, and his power and speed and angle combinations would have made him a threat in any era.

i think he could win this weekend. floyd has slowed down, and manny is always very busy. floyd isnt a busy fighter. manny raises the pace and gets the decision or even a early shock stoppage.


having said all that, i admire floyd tremendously for being his own man, escaping bob arum and not falling for media and moralistic hypocrisy out there posing as journallism. i like manny a lot as a person but i prefer floyd tbh. i just think this fight might be beyond him. i would have picked money may to win 5 years ago though.

Oscar got beat by an old past his prime(but still good) Pernell Whitaker. Floyd fought Oscar at 154, a prime PBF at 147 that still had his elite speed when he first entered the division would be a blur to Oscar.

Have hey announced the undercard ? I haven't seen it anywhere

Leo Santa Cruz vs Jose Cayetano and Vasyl Lomachenko vs Gamalier Rodriguez are the 2 televised undercard fights.
