    Re: ESPN: DLH Vs Pacquiao, Dec. 6 @ MGM Grand

    Same story before every Floyd Mayweather fight. He could lose.... this is going to be a good fight. I could see this happening. Floyd will be in a tough fight.

    BLAH BLAH BALH.

    Then 3-4 rounds into the fight Floyd figures out his strategy and dominates the rest of the fight. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Many will be no different. He's a great fighter, but if Floyd comes in ready, he will destroy him. Floyd is at the pinnacle of his career right now. Don't even come in here talking about fights years ago.... PBF is a completely different fighter, believe it or not, and he's that much better.

    Regardless, it will be the same. We will hear how Floyd could lose. How this what Manny could do, etc, etc. Then, when it's all said and done, we'll look back and think, "wow, how could we have doubted Floyd again."

    Same story, same ending.

      I agree PBF is the smartes/best pound for pound fighter, but Pac will actually try to make it a fight, unlike DLH. Manny is like a much quicker, craftier version of Ricky Hatton. I would love to see the fight. Of course PBF would be the favorite, but after seeing the DLH PAC fight I realized how accurate a puncher Manny is. I always thought he was just a brawler, not anymore.

        PBF is much better than DLH but theres no reason to believe Manny couldn't win the fight, nobody predicted Pac to destroy DLH.

        What is your post trying to say, That Pacquiao vs Mayweather shouldn't happen???!!
        You read wayyy too much into it. The few moments when DLH did jab we saw Pac stop or back up. Was it frequent, no, did it happen yes. EDIT: Just watched round one, look at the last 40 secs. DLH threw his jab and each time Pac hopped back or stopped moving. DLH either did not follow up, or simply did not do it enough. What if he jabbed and then went to the body to follow up?

        Never said the fight shouldnt happen, where did you read that?

        My post says that everytime Floyd is supposed to lose he doesn't. This guy is undefeated for a reason. He has beat bigger, faster, stronger opponents. At some point we are going to have to give him props.

          No offense, but to people who have watched PBF's entire career, your post makes zero sense. Many, many people have PBF with a "loss" on his career. I am not even going to get into the other trouble spots he has had. To suggest he is some sort of invincible figure is not only ridiculous, it has been debunked.

          PBF, Marciano, JC and all other undefeated champions all had moments where they got a gift, were in serious trouble, got lucky, etc....

            That's the part that many dont give Floyd props for. Usually rounds 1-3 are feel out rounds for him. He gets his spacing and timing down, normally just inching forward. Once he finds you and determines what are doing, its a wrap. He might be the smartest fighter in history. He easily is the the smartest most fouced in my lifetime.

              True many count that fight as a loss but it is what it is. But that 'loss' was avenged in such a manner that its not even worth mentioning.

                I am just not going to get into anymore PBF discussions because people are judging him based on handpick opponents post 135 and have not watched his entire career.

                Now PBF is a brilliant adjuster? Just taking the first Castillo fight, Castillo was the one who adjusted and won the second half of the fight. And when PBF had an opportunity to blow Castillo out and make it obvious, he still couldn't, and squeaked by a victory barely (I had PBF winning the second fight, surely not the first).

                I am putting all PBF discussions on ignore until he steps in the ring again. He is nowhere hear as bad as discussing Tyson, but it is glaringly obvious many haven't followed PBF and watched his fights from the beginning.

                  I judge his whole careeer, I remember his debut and comments from George Foreman saying this kid is going to be great. I can't speak for others.

                  Now I will say there are just as many Floyd haters are there are nuthuggers. Just like any great athelete, but oh well.

                      Im going to have to co-sign. PBF can lose. will he lose? ....... not sure. Tell you what Manny has a great chance to do it. Better than DLH, better than Hatton, i think hes better than anyone floyds fought in the last 4 years.

                      Please make this fight happen.

                        I do not think anyone is saying he CANT lose. Styles make fights, I just do not think that Manny's style will give him a win. Floyd's a good counter puncher and DLH rarely did any counter punching if any at all.
