Question for Mayweather backers…

Every time I see Mayweather interviewed about the fight - he’s always sweating, licking his lips uncontrollably, quivering, stuttering, mumbling, talking incoherently, swallowing uncontrollably and searching for water to nervously drink and sips the water with his hand trembling.

After he drinks the water - he changes the subject and goes on these ridiculous and incoherent tirades about having a pretty face, a clean bill of health, and being wealthy, healthy, and undefeated.

I expect Mayweather to be wide eyed with fear entering the ring and especially in the ring when he sees Pacquiao fearlessly crazy eyed standing in front of him.

How can you confidently put money on a ducking coward?

There are three names that make Floyd completely spaz the fukk out on camera… Judah, Margarito, Pacquiao. Mayweather ducked out of a rematch with Judah, ducked Margarito, and ducked Pacquiao for over 5 years.

I’m guessing Mayweather backers believe Mayweather will overcome his fear?

A scared fighter is already defeated before the bell rings.

Pacquiao +240

Oh, I was wrong... I thought the fight would never happen. To those who said it would...

pacman is now +185 at the greek!!

I agree that he is scared (he only really fought him cause of pressure from showtime, plus there was no one else to fight to earn good money). But here's the thing about Manny, he is a great fighter, but he hasn't really went for the kill since he was KO'd (fought smaller fighters, Bradley and Algeri don't have a power punch, still played it safe).

The only way Manny wins by KO, no way they give him the decision even if he gives a boxing lesson (he lost to Castillo and Maidana, but the scorecards weren't really close 9-3, 8-4 against Maidana when Maidana either won 7-5 or it was a draw or 7-5 Floyd at the worst, Maidana was outboxing Floyd early and beating him up on the ropes)

Floyd by decision is the play, Manny will try his best but can't see either fighter getting KO'd. Floyd has the judges and refs in his pocket.

What? Smaller fighters? Bradley is the same height as Pacquiao. Algieri was a towering giant compared to Pacquiao. And Bradley and Algieri both had way more muscle mass than Pacquiao.

Bradley has a strong chin and has only been knocked down once in his whole career and Pacquiao knocked Algieri down to the canvas 6 times. Algieri showed the heart of a champion to get off the canvas 6 damn times.

I get the Castillo argument you brought up but completely disagree with the Maidana part. Maidana threw a lot of punches but most of them were blocked and were indirect glancing blows that just whiffed, grazed, and bounced off Floyd’s gloves with zero damage done.

Since the Juan Manuel Marquez KO
Rios (gloves up the entire match - knocked down once - knees buckled twice)
Bradley (Pacquiao fought 8 strong rounds and coasted 4 to get out with a decision)
Algieri (knocked down 6 times)

I don’t get the claims of Pacquiao declining or losing it?

People don’t realize that Pacquiao has been training for Mayweather for years. The fights against Clottey, Bradley, and Algieri were sparing partners in preparation for Mayweather’s philly shell - rope a dope - gloves up - running chicken - win by decision strategy.

I believe Pacquiao has come up with a game plan to crack the Mayweather code.

It’s going to be hard for Mayweather to win by decision with his face all busted up. I expect cuts, bruises, and lots of blood. (Oh, yes… there will be blood)

I fukkin hate Mayweather but my eyes tell me that Mayweather won 9 rounds and Castillo won 3 rounds. I don't see the controversy? The compubox numbers were clearly bogus. Mayweather easily dominated both fights he had with Castillo. Flat footed orthodox predictable brawlers don’t stand a chance against Mayweather.

Judah is the only fighter that Mayweather has fought in his career that had a chance at beating him, IMHO. I believe if there had been a trilogy and Judah had the right guy at his corner to get his mind right, that he could have beaten Mayweather.

Mayweather won’t be able to use his shoulder roll against Pacquiao. People keep saying decision, decision, decision; Mayweather by decision - like Pacquiao is another slow, flat footed, predictable orthodox brawler with no punching power.

Pacquiao is one of the top 3 best southpaws of all time! He’s unlike any boxer in boxing history. An orthodox fighter like Mayweather spends his entire career fighting and training with other orthodox fighters. He’s not used to southpaws. Floyd has been avoiding Pacquiao for almost 6 years for a reason.

Pacquiao is a wild awkward tasmanian devil southpaw with lighting speed, amazing footwork, and lights out knockout power = a serious problem for Mayweather to stay undefeated. There has never been a southpaw as adept in the use of angles to create punching opportunities as Pacquiao. Pacquiao’s punches POP!

Floyd better not wear white trunks because he is going to sh!t himself when he feels Pacquiao’s power. Mayweather’s plan is to get Pacquiao to chase him, (which throws him off balance), so he can counterpunch him like JMM did. What Mayweather doesn’t realize is he doesn’t have the power of JMM.

Pacquiao is going to have to break his usual game plan and stay patient like Judah did against Mayweather for 4 rounds. Judah ran out of gas and lost focus. Pacquiao has a better shot at beating Mayweather than Judah did because Pacquiao is extremely disciplined and possesses a never ending gas tank.

I know I sh!t all over Mayweather but I believe this fight should be a pick’em.

# Mayweather hater alert # Pacman will get a 12 rd boxing lesson 

Thanks for adding so much knowledge. Flomos repeat the same crap like a parrot. 

SRH, your entire premise is a bad guess.  FM licks his lips and drinks water ALL THE TIME.  Doesn't mean he is a coward or scared.  Do you have any other reason to take Pac?  

HatOnBed, Come on man… you ever had a conversation with some who is nervous or scared? A person doesn’t have to speak to show what the person is feeling.

Fidgeting, mumbling, stuttering, sweating, talking fast, tripping over words, stammering, being insecure, fake laughter, deflecting the subject, the constant clearing of the throat, drinking water to hide his insecurities because he feels they are transparent, begging for credibility... (Please believe me that I'm not scared of Pacquiao)

You are partly right. This doesn’t mean that Mayweather is scared but damn… He sure as hell is giving all the signs of a scared person. None of these traits are that of a supremely confident person.

I have plenty of reasons, HatOnBed; these are my reasons for betting on Pacquiao: Mayweather displays the body language of a coward. Roach turned Pacquiao from a wild brawler into a wild pro boxer. The Pacquiao fights against Clottey, Bradley, and Algieri were sparing partners in preparation for Mayweather. An orthodox fighter like Mayweather has shown problems with southpaws. Now he's fighting the 3rd best southpaw in boxing history!

Pacquiao is a wild awkward southpaw with lighting speed, amazing footwork, and lights out knockout power that throws punches from the most awkward angles. This is unlike any boxer Mayweather has ever faced. Every fighter Mayweather has faced he has been the man with the fastest hands. Pacquiao can throw over 100 punches a minute. Mayweather has made a name for himself by picking boxers that he could predict. Pacquiao is unpredictable.

been watching these fighters for a long time sweet p the Olympian doesn't exist now I see him is taking on a group of opponents that wont get close to actually beating him .pacman nothing to prove himself wants to fight him because he knows that his dancing and showmanship tatics are easily countered by his left mayweather moves left everything seems to be going that way when he wants to get out of trouble. he bobs left and that is when pacman can land the hook or cross. pacman isn't much of jabber to set up the left but his right is a very hard punch that knock ppl out in his early career now these men are older and I am not sure pacman has 4 months to take off the suit and enter the ring. mayweather has four months but I don't think he will use it to plan carefully for the match too many distractions for him. either way only fight these men will ever take after is against themselves a trilogy in the making...see pacman wearing sweet p down and by the 6th landing the bombs out by 7th.....

Coming from someone who doesn't have a dog in this fight at all, and no bias towards any character...I think Mayweather is the better pugilist, and should win this fight.  Mind you, at -215, that's more moneyline that I'm willing to eat for any of the two fighters.  Just my two cents...

gonna put all my tax return and my 3 month salary till May on 

You're crazy. Floyd will not give up his cherry for any amount of money. This fight will be str8 up, no bullsh!t.

Floyd is fighting for his legacy and to protect his cherry. He is going to choke under the pressure.

I can't wait to see the look of fear on his face as Manny pops that cherry.

He won't be able to run from Pacman like he could against all the orthodox flatfooted stationary slow opponents with slow hands he cherry picked.

If Floyd wins this fight... he will definitely get my respect.
 

everyone is screaming rematch but not so fast 80 million is the money pacman needs to run for president in the Phillipeans were he has been taking a political life now I believe Pacman wants to fight Mayweather. to put to rest any side chatter during his campaign run he knows the game and decisions of the scorecards I believe he wants to pound pretty boys face in . ... I believe this will end in a knockout. Now Mayweather relizes this is a one and done deal maybe he can put the time and energy into what he needs TRAINING and coming up with a stradegy to sustain the assault instead of sports drink commercials. That man looks like he needs some time... I hope he does I want to see a good fight with two top athletes in best condition possible fighting. But I will settle for pacman crushing Floyd. either way I want to see this happen and not Floyd sprained his wrist in practice nonsense.

No way in hell… will there ever be a rematch if Mayweather wins. He’s been running from Pacquiao for almost 6 years. There is no chance that Mayweather will risk another fight with Pacquiao if he squeaks out a win over his worst fear. Now if Pacquiao wins, I hope he retires from boxing. Let the loss to Pacquiao haunt Mayweather for the rest of his life.

Wish I could get Mayweather at -215 just to win, My book has FM BY DECISION at -165  mayweather doesn't knock anyone out really and plays with his opponents but would gladly pay the extra 50 cents because all bags of tricks could come out for this one

This fight is revenue haven for many involved, wich is why i see this going to at the very least 2 fights. No way FM would want a rematch if he wins.....so this fight should be a Manny victory, going w/ this angle. Even if FM lands more punches they'll rig the damn thing & have Many winn. As a result it fires up FM, he gets all angry and amped up and sets up for a round 2.

This won't be rigged or become some kind of fukkin bullsh1t conspiracy. Mayweather cares more about being undefeated than he does about his children.

Being undefeated means more to him than anything in the fukkin world. There is no amount of money on earth that Mayweather would take to give up his undefeated record.

There will be no rematch. There is no rematch clause in the contract they signed. This is a one time deal. Fighting Manny twice would be way too much of a risk to his precious undefeated record.

If Floyd wins - he takes a huge sigh of relief, (obnoxiously disrespects Manny by giving him the finger), and fights Khan. He'll say Manny doesn't deserve another shot.

The b1tch will probably knock out glass joe khan and retire. He'll naively claim TBE (the best excuses) and arrogantly walks out of the ring clucking that he's wealthy, healthy, and undefeated.

pacman needs to fight like a beast to beat mayweather

This couldn't be scripted better by some big name screen writer.
