Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Not Egotistical Enough for a Dream Bout?

 

Pacquiao_vs_mayweather
Lots of detailed phrases have been employed to update undefeated superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. through the years. Egotistical, most definitely, is one of them. Similiarly, while no one flatly comes out and calls Manny Pacquiao egotistical, no need to explain that you have to have a very specific blown up sense of self worth and confidence to obtain the achievements that the Filipino champion has obtained through the years.

 

So, with that in mind - it had been incredibly unexpected which the face behind the one very best cooking device ever made for the people that can’t cook would suggest that the pair won’t get around to fighting simply because they lack the essential egotism.

 

Throughout a recent appointment with the very good people at Boxing Scene, George Foreman came out and explictely declared that he doesn’t believe a dream match among Mayweather and Pacquiao will ever turned out to be because both fighters do not have the required egotism.

 

“I doubt it,” Foreman told Boxing Scene when pressed around the prospect of a potential showdown. “Both fighters are earning all the money they want with out fighting one another. They’re not egotistical adequate to wish to fight one another. It could never occur.”

 

At this point, the prospect of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao failing to get enough developed is certainly not new. It’s not outlandish to suggest that a bout between two fighters which has gotten derailed each and every time it’s come close to taking place throughout the last two years won’t happen. There is nothing even mildly debatable about that stand.

 

What on earth is amusing, nevertheless, is the suggestion that the a couple of fighters involved aren’t egotistical enough to generate this fight happen. Mayweather and Pacquiao are 2 of essentially the most egotistical boxers in the sport today, and that’s the crucial reason why they’re sitting on top of the existing pound-for-pound rankings. The innate egotism that each one has is what has driven them to this point, even though they have long-since cemented by themselves as permanent fixtures in boxing lore.

 

There are tons of reasons why Mayweather vs. Pacquiao might not get come up with -- Bob Arum’s unbearable shadiness pops into your head -- but we’re planning to don't agree with Foreman here - the pair not being egotistical adequate is most definitely not one of them.

Pacquiao_vs_marquez_20

First of, I would like to say Happy Thanks Giving USA.

This is just my imagination after seeing this picture on face book.

How about if still controversial?

 

Another fight? again?

 

Until if will reach to Pacquiao Vs Marquez 20?

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather: The reason why Pac-Man Need to Fear Pretty Boy

Pacquiao_vs_mayweather_fight_pictures
You might even ask now that Pacquiao really afraid of Mayweather? This prediction cames out after Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 fight. Because Pacquiao did not even show his power for the boxing, we remember that most of the people believe that Marquez has a greater boxing performance against Pacquiao is the said fight. In this way Pacquiao vs Mayweather is very far to happen.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have tried discussions of meeting up for a combat for the ages, yet still simply no fight has been introduced. Yet in the interest of Pacquiao, not having a fight towards "Pretty Boy" Mayweather is the the most effective move.

 

Based on Black Sports Online, discussions between the two sides are taking place and he is prepared for a combat with Mayweather.

 

Pacquiao had the subsequent to state in terms of a future match up:

 

Discussions are continuous for my battle with Mayweather, but nothing is final. Mayweather might be considering, I'm able to fight Pacquiao now because he had problems against Marquez, and I surely could take down Marquez. This is exactly what boxing fans are looking forward to.

 

Inspite of the negotiations on terms, Pacquiao is simply not completely ready for a fight of this degree.

 

For one, Pacquiao will come off a fight to forget, as he was hardly capable to edge out Juan Manuel Marquez in the fight that he showed both tiredness plus an inability to dominate the battle. Granted, Marquez is a deserving, completed fighter, he's no Pacquiao and yet surely could receive the best of him in the ring.

 

Pacquiao's final 5 matches came right down to decisions, as he might be unable to receive the TKOs or KOs that he, once upon time, would make consistently.

 

Inside the Marquez fight there seemed to be a big fatigue issue with Pacquiao. He was out-boxed in the final rounds and put towards the test. There was plenty around the sport who believed Marquez in fact had the higher quality overall performance. Pacquiao was able to land just 30 % of his blows and 19 percent of his jabs, with Marquez landing 32 and 21 percent, correspondingly.

 

Due to the fact Pac-Man is coming off debatably one of his toughest fights of late, unquestionably a fight against Mayweather is requesting trouble, as the energy and potent degree of boxing is certainly not there for the Filipino-sensation.

 

The other important factor is the truth that Pac-Man's marketer, Bob Arum, continues to keep Pacquiao from fighting Mayweather. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer advised ESPN.com the following: "We have already been informed that Bob Arum is just not fascinated by pursuing a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao right now."

 

The fact Arum continues to avoid a potential megafight between the two well-respected boxers helps it be much more evident Pac-Man isn't and will not be ready for a showdown with Mayweather. While, in fact, you will discover sources supporting ongoing negotations at that time.

 

Make no fault over it, Pacquiao belongs to the stronger fighters to grace the sport lately.

 

However, dependant on his recent sommation and Arum's claims, Pac-Man isn't ready for Pretty Boy. The undefeated, 42-0 Mayweather has Pacquiao afraid of tarnishing his reputation as the better boxers in the sport.

Cotto vs Margarito II: Joshua Clottey Wants Rematch With the Winner, Watch OUT

Cotto_vs_margarito_2_fight_pictures98776
The war is coming, Cotto vs Margarito 2 fight will be this coming Dcember 3. This will be the most awaite fight, Margarito is taller than Cotto and they predict that Cotto will win this fight. Let us see.

 

A large amount of fighters in or around the 154-pound section are going to want a shot at the man who happens victorious between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito when the above rematch on December 3. And Joshua Clottey, that has fought both in the past and made his ring come back on November 19 in Houston, desires his hat thrown in. From Ryan Burton:

 

"I hurt my hand in the Margarito fight. A lot of people thought that I beat Cotto. That was a close fight. I would like the chance to fight either of those guys again," Clottey told Boxingscene.com.

 

Clottey (36-4, 21 KO) did give a fine accounting of himself against Cotto in 2009, and against Margarito in 2007. The biggest problem moving forward that Joshua Clottey will probably face is that he has the status -- which might or might not still be true, we'll find out -- of overvaluing himself. Specially in this world of ours where Clottey laid an egg on pay-per-view against Manny Pacquiao in March 2010, Clottey just isn't a fighter that networks are dying to use TV. He's excellent, but he's not exciting, he's not well-liked, and he has no impact on TV ratings.

 

In his return fight against Calvin Green last Saturday evening, he was aggressive, took power over the battle, and halted an overmatched foe in two. Fighting just over 154 pounds, Clottey seemed who is fit, and at 34, he has not taken a great deal of damage over his career. He could be a challenger once more, but he might need to prove himself once more.

Antonio Margarito vs. Miguel Cotto 2 - Understanding the Margarito Licensing Situation

Cotto_vs_margarito2_pictures54768
One thing that has been requested has been a little more boxing coverage here at Bloody Elbow, so going forward we'll touch on major boxing events and recap the weekend's action. But your home for the best boxing coverage at SB Nation is still Bad Left Hook, so make sure you keep up with things there as well. We'll be starting our new boxing coverage with a two part feature on the Antonio Margarito vs. Miguel Cotto fight, today discussing Margarito's issues acquiring a license for the rematch scheduled for December 3 and tomorrow diving into the incredible marketing of the fight.

The very mention of Antonio Margarito's name is enough to strike up an immediate emotional reaction from most combat fans. Margarito went from on top of the world after defeating Miguel Angel Cotto in a thrilling fight in July of 2008 he got a fight with Shane Mosley in January 2009. During the hand wrapping process for the Mosley fight, Shane's trainer noticed Margarito's wraps had a strange substance on them. The wraps were eventually found to have plaster of paris on them, which would have hardened to give him a dangerous advantage in the bout.

Margarito would have to have his hands re-wraped and would then go on to take a vicious beating at the hands of Mosely in "Sugar" Shane's last great performance.

The end result of the handwrapping controversy was a year suspension of Margarito's boxing license by the state of California and a reputation that will never recover.

Margarito is set to face Cotto in a rematch on December 3 in New York City. Cotto feels that his loss the first time around can't be fully accepted as Margarito may have cheated and Antonio is looking to prove that he didn't cheat the first time and won't need to this time either.

Unfortunately for fight fans excited to see the bout, Margarito has been having trouble acquiring a license from the NYSAC because of a surgically repaired eye.

Some may be wondering why Margarito is even able to apply for a license after the plaster situation. The answer has multiple parts:

  • The blame was put on Margarito's trainer, Javier Capetillo. He claims he simply picked up wraps off a table as he was in a rush and it was not an intentional act. During the hearing with the commission Margarito threw Capetillo under the bus, saying he didn't understand why he would do such a thing.
  • The commission couldn't pin the fault on Margarito, finding that he actually did nothing wrong and may well have been ignorant of the entire situation.
  • Finally, the biggest part of why the suspension wouldn't have held up for over a year. In cases like these, there are standard evidence handling guidelines. It appears that there were serious problems with the chain of custody of the evidence the evening of the Mosley fight. The wraps appear to have changed hands several times during the hours that followed, including spending time with multiple members of Mosley's camp. This prevented further action from being taken, including possible legal action against Margarito and his camp.

So while it's easy to get upset with the fact that Margarito is allowed to fight, it also requires some acknowledgement of the California State Athletic Commission's failures.

More on the current state of Margarito's license after the jump.

Star-divide

November of 2010 saw Margarito return to an American boxing ring for the first time since his suspension to face Manny Pacquiao. Margarito displayed a ton of heart as he took a violent beating at the hands of Pacquiao for twelve rounds.

After the fight it was determined that Margarito suffered a fractured orbital bone which required surgery to fix. He then had to have an additional surgery done to repair the lens of his eye. That second surgery was done by one of the leading experts in the field and he declared the work a success. However, hose two surgeries and the health of Antonio's eye have the NYSAC hesitant to grant a license. Recent shots of Margarito on HBO's 24/7 series show where some of that concern comes from (repaired eye is Margarito's right):

Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 : Bob Arum is working on it?

Pacquiao-vs-marquez-3-fight_pictures32456
Before talking about Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 fight, let us witness now what Oscar dela Hoya's opinion in the last fight - Pacquiao vs Marquez 3. This fight was said to be the most controversial fight. See the video below...

Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 : Bob Arum is working on it?

After Manny Pacquiao defeated Juan Manuel Marquez in a controversial majority decision, the Floyd Mayweather Jr camp wanted to fight Pacquiao on May 5, 2011. However, Top RankPromoter Bob Arum is not buying it because he looks for Pacquiao vs Marquez 4?

The Pacquiao camp is not happy with the performance of Pacquiao though he won the fight. Half of the people who watched the fight saw it differently, that Marquez should have won it or a draw.

Even the Mexican fans who were in the MGM Grand were dissatisfied for they believed that their hero Marquez won it. There were booes in when Pacquiao was announced as the winner. Even Arum felt that Marquez deserves to have another shot at Pacquiao and that he mentioned of working on the fourth fight.

Mayweather camp, however, wants to make a deal for the biggest money fight in boxing history that can reach up to $200 million revenues. Of course, Mayweather saw how Pacquiao struggled and he has to make the noise to fight him. Will he get Pacquiao despite Arum’s statement of dealing for another Pacquiao-Marquez?

In one of Arums latest interview, he actually changed his mind about the next fight of Pacquiao. Though he reiterated that he will not deal with the Mayweather camp.

“Mayweather, I hate to say it, he’s not a fighter. I want to use some other word to describe him, but I’d rather not. He doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao for sure because he’s scared,” he said.

Mayweather is scared of losing his undefeated record because he knows that Pacquiao can hit him with just a punch. On Pacquiao if he wants to fight Mayweather, he always handed the decision to Arum.

For Marquez, he looks to retire because he thought he was robbed three times already by the judges. What if Arum wants another Pacquiao-Marquez? Then we will be looking for that on May.

The question of the fourth fight boils down if other people will still have the desire to watch it. For me, the trilogy is enough. I have seen all their styles in that three fights and why should I have to see the next one?

One of the names floating around is WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley. He will likely be the next boxer in the schedule of Pacquiao. Arum will likely have an easy way of making this fight because Bradley signed with him lately.

Pacquiao vs Marquez 4, Pacquiao vs Mayweather, or Pacquiao vs Bradley will be the next biggets thing in boxing.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3: Foot Stopper Trick? by Juan Manuel Marquez

Foot_stopper_trick_by_juan_manuel_marquez
Many people belive that the true winner of Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 is Marquez, right? Even if you will ask me, I bet Marquez is the winner.

 

Here are some reasons:

1. Marquez was great counter puncher

2. Marquez was agreesive the fight

3. Marquez was tough enough

 

Aside from the reasons above, I think you can show your opinion also on why is Marquez was the winner. Now let's talk on why Pacquiao won the fight?

Let's take a look to the Pacquiao Vs Marquez 3 Scorecard below...

Pacquiao_vs_marquez_3_scorecards

It is very clear that Pacquiao won the fight. To tell you frankly, Pacquiao does not act or dance in the ring as what we have expected. Since we all witness his previous fights that he will dance it and even knocked out his opponent easily. In this fight, we can even see Pacquiao's movement that his mind was not on the fight. 

Some reasons why Pacquiao does not play the game heartily.

1. He has misunderstanding with his body and strenght conditioning coach

2. While in training, he think of his congressional job. In short, boxing now is his second choice.

3. Because of Marquez always step his foot? As you can see in the image above.

 

There are many reasons I think. But whoever wins, he deserves it.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3: Examining Pacquiao's Fight Progression Since it is Marquez Last Fight

Pacquiao_vs_marquez_3_fight_pictures87765
Eventhough it is I think the last fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacquiao still maintain his fight standing and even he double his preparation. Of course Marquez wants to beat Pacquiao. So much for that, it is already 2 days more to go. Good Luck Pacquiao and Marquez.

 

It is a tad silly to think that Juan Manuel Marquez knows Manny Pacquiao simply because he stepped into the ring with him for 24 rounds. This is not the same Manny Pacquiao that he saw in 2008, and not even close to the man he was in 2004. 

Marquez had his shot against Pacquiao and blew it. The constant knockdowns did in what would have been a couple of career altering wins. 

Pacquiao has hit another gear since he last fought Marquez in 2008. The only thing saving Marquez from being another body bag laying in the path of Pacquiao is if the legendary boxer has lost a step, because he has been beyond anything we have seen in the last five years. 

How we aren't on the fifth fight between these two is beyond me. The long layoffs in between rematches hurts just one fighter, and that is Marquez. 

Pacquiao has matured at an exponential rate since their last fight. What started as Pacquiao pummeling  sturdy-chinned David Diaz in he very next fight in 2008 to a maestro annihilating Shane Mosley in May, Pacquiao has grown in a few ways.

 

Speed

The ridiculous speed that we saw in such fights starting with Diaz was just too much for fighters. Ricky Hatton couldn't match any amount of defense that could account for the flurry. Pacquiao's instincts and speed became otherworldly in the last few years.

 

Defense

The one thing Pacquiao became aware of in that last couple years is that he doesn't have to engage with such wild abandon. He can sit back and let the fight come to him.

He is able to meet any boxers best attack with a stringent defense that matches instinct with patience. It may dull his fights at times, but it makes him a better fighter.

 

Confidence

This is an amalgamation of every single thing that Pacquiao has gained in his years of fighting. Pacquiao is a master of pace and poise. He understands that he is the better boxer in the ring and will determine how the fight goes, seldom the other way around.

On Saturday, we will see a boxer that is even better than one that fought a brilliant fight in 2008. I hope Marquez is ready.
