PacMan's Corner

Recommended Posts

Pacman has now become a true complete fighter.

 

Dizzying handspeed/Unreal workrate? = check

 

Power in both hands? = check

 

Beautiful footwork? (I actually stood up and cheered with these non-punching displays of technique from Manny) = check

 

Granite chin? (Cotto's hits are not something to be trifled with, you can see Manny's neck flail everytime he eats Cottos leather) = check

 

If this were a video game and you had to create a complete fighter with no restrictions, you'd come up with a Manny Pacquiao.

 

 

-------------

on PBF x Pacman

 

This fight is too huge to not happen next year.

 

This fight will be the fight that will define boxing for the next four or five years. It is a rare opportunity to match two of the world's absolute best at their physical primes.

 

And because of this the money will be too huge to ignore, even by Mayweather.

 

If Mayweather ducks this then he really is a coward and should just retire. He's run out of excuses:

 

1) PBF Excuse #1 "I fight for the money not the legacy" = nope can't use this one, this is the only real money fight in PBFs foreseeable future. No other fight can net him the amount of money that this fight can.

 

2) PBF Excuse #2 "Arum won't work with me" = nope can't use that either. Arum already said that he wants for this fight to happen because thats what the people want.

 

3) PBF Excuse #3 "I'm the biggest draw there is. If I don't get the split that I want (70-30 mind you) then I'm gone" = Nope, scratch that excuse too. Manny X Cotto is shaping up to record over 1.5M PPV buys, well over 500k buys more than what PBFxJMM made last time. Pacquiao is the sport's crossover superstar at the moment, and people will come to see him fight a guy in a chicken suit.

 

When they do fight, I see Manny fighting a hard fought battle, but pulling out a win in the later rounds. PBF doesn't hit hard enough (it took him 10 rounds to finish Hatton, and he couldn't finish ODLH, pacquiao destroyed both men), and Manny just has to weather the short jabs and get inside close enough to walk PBF down to the ropes. But make no mistake PBF is a very dangerous fight, not that he can hurt manny, but PBF has a very real chance at winning this. We're talking about a fighter who's content to land 1 punch per round and run to a decision victory, he certainly has that option.

What a performance by Pacman! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

This is probably the best Pacman fight I have ever seen. Although I think that Manny's defense was a little off, I think we should also give credit to Miguel Cotto's boxing skill and heart for giving the fans a great fight with Manny. Miguel Cotto is a great boxer but Manny Pacquiao is greater and smarter.

 

If ever a Gayweather-Pacquiao match will push through next year then I advice Manny to avoid touching his trunks while inside the ring. Gayweather is an intelligent boxer and will see Manny's mannerism as an opportunity to make an accurate punch to Manny's face.

 

Congratulations to the People's Champ Manny Pacquiao. :thumbsupsmiley:

i noticed that too. i initially thought this is a dangerous habit that he should avoid esp if his opponent is a fast boxer like him.

 

but on second thought, manny's footwork is fast and maybe he can elude lightning punches from anyone esp Floyd.

Nice one!

 

If Mayweather ducks the Pacman, then an 8th title in 8 Weight Division is 90% in the bag against the undefeated but light hitting champion Yuri Foreman

May excuse na aman si 'the-ever-almighty cocky' GAYweather jr

 

"If I beat Manny Pacquaio do you know what they are going to say? 'You are supposed to beat him, you are Floyd Mayweather, you are the bigger man'. If I knock him out they'll say 'you're supposed to knock him out he's been knocked out before'.

 

"I'm in a no-win situation and when I beat him no one is going to be surprised because he's been beaten before; whatever I do to Pacquaio has been done before - he's been beaten on three occasions. And if I knock him out I don't want the world shouting because he's been knocked out twice before."

 

If the fight goes ahead it is expected to challenge the mark set by Oscar De La Hoya's bout with Floyd Mayweather for the most profitable in history.

 

Money generated from pay-per-view subscriptions earned the two fighters an estimated combined total of $77 million in 2007.

 

Mayweather, whose nickname is "Money," said: "If I go out and make $60-75 million in one night; come on - I'm not losing."
