Pacman Earns But Can't Beat Money
“Pac-Man should be an underdog if he ever faces Mayweather because he isn't as skilled and can't knock Mayweather out, which would be his only chance because he definitely can't out box Money. I learned more about Mayweather in the Mosely fight than any other fight. Most fighters would have been knocked out after being hit by Mosley the way Money was in that rememberable second round, but Money kept his composure and put on a boxing clinic. In conclusion, legs or no legs Pacquiao is in for a boxing clinic if he ever fights Mayweather, which is why Arum has no intention of negotiating the fight.” –TSS reader “Shoulder Roll Defense” thinks Mayweather would school Manny…if the fight were to happen
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
