Serves that punk Gay-Weather right for dodging Pac Man all these years and now he won’t get that big money fight.

Gay-Weather wanted to fight an old, broken down shell of the Pac Man and win a bunch of money and claim he’s the greatest.

How’d that work out for you, you chicken shit jive ass?

Pac Man fought way above his natural weight class.

He started out as a Fly-weight (108lbs.) and worked his way up to fight bigger fighters as that’s where the talent and the money is.

Marquez is a natural Welterweight/Super Welterweight.

A good big-man beat a good small-man.

Have Marquez come in at 135-139 lbs., Pac - Mans natural weight and PM would destroy him.

Even at the heavier weights such as Welterweight, the toll of fighting bigger men took it’s toll on the natural Lightweight - something Gay-Weather was waiting for - to fight a worn out, shell of a Pac Man and then proclaim himself the best fighter ever.

All Gay-Weather proved was his stupidity, his fear of Pac-Man because he knew Pac would surgically destroy him and send him home full of excuses and crying like a baby.

Pac Man made the mistake of fighting all comers and eventually fighting a natural Welterweight 4 x, beating him 2x and 1x a draw. Pac knew that anything short of knocking out the bigger fighter would only leave more doubt, more controversy and he stepped out of his game and tried to KO the bigger fighter - something he should have done at the start of the 6th after he staggered MM at the end of the 5th.

Take a look at the two - while the weight difference was negligible, MM has a much bigger frame and body compared to the naturally smaller Pac Man.

I bet Gay-Weather is begging to fight Pac Man under any conditions right now and would even fight in the Manila/QC Metro area.

Sorry chump - you blew it. Screw you, gay-weather. You’re not a fighter, you’re an opportunist.

Much like Ray Leonard who refused Tommy Hearns a rematch for 8 years before fighting him again and getting thoroughly beaten, although the boxing mafia called it a “draw” and Leonard refused to give Hagler a rematch after that debacle in scoring that gave Leonard the win.

Of course, if Leonard lost, he demanded a rematch while the arena seats were still warm, using gloves of his choosing, ring size of his choosing, judges and referee of his choosing, arena of his choosing, date of his choosing, etc..

I’d like to see MM and PM fight a fifth time at 140 lbs. to make it more even - MM loses some punching power, while PM returns to something more closer to his natural fighting weight.

Pac Man is handicapped by having to fight in a division that adversely affects his skills, while it is perfect weight for Marquez.

Let’s even it out a bit.

Match #5 should be at Super Lightweight at 140 lbs.

And no Gay-Weather, you don’t get a shot at either fighter.
You have to fight to earn a title bout you trash talking punk.

A fight at 135-140 lbs. between Pac-Man and Marquez.

I would then like to see Pac-Man become President of the RP and clean up the corruption in that country - the good Filipino people deserve better.

AlexW, hope you’re going well. Looking forward to the day where we can shoot the sh*t on the beach without a care in the world, although the Dollar is losing value to the Piso.

Thanks again, Obama.

Mayweather was the highest paid athlete in the world without fighting Pacquiao. What makes you think he needs him to make money?

A good big-man beat a good small-man.

I take it you didn't see the fight between Mayweather and Marquez. Perhaps you should try and find it before you make yourself look any sillier than you already have.

Oh yes, and a big thanks to the dumbass OP for posting a spoiler in the title and ruining it for anyone who hadn't seen it yet. I have seen this on FR before which is why I didn't come here (for this or any other major sporting event) until after I had seen it myself.

I know Pac is popular here for his pro-life and pro-marriage comments but most seem unaware that he

A)Is associated with a left of center party in his country.

B)BRAGGED about helping elect HARRY REID and JERRY BROWN in 2010

Yes it’s true, look it up.

So he’s a socially conservative democrat, which one step above centipede larvae in my book. You can still like him as a fighter but as a politco, no.

For bragging about helping Harry Reid I am glad he got KTFO.

As to weight, your natural weight is what you weigh before you dehydrate and or starve yourself to make a lower weight. I’ve read that both Manny and Marquez walk around at about 150 (Pac is no flyweight anymore). If they are about the same size why should that not fight fresh at 147? Márquez looked a little bigger (maybe just cause Paq has huge legs accounting for some of his weight) but nothing to suggest they are weight classes apart like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. who had 20 pounds on Sergio Martinez.

I don’t like guys killing themselves and fighting dehydrated and weak, case in point De La Hoya and Pac man. De La Hoya looked like an escapee from a concentration camp and had no chance, thus it was no feather in Manny’s cap to beat him.

They put most of the weight back on after the weigh in, it’s pretension so you can go down and fight smaller men, but now since almost everyone does it a guy HAS to do it just to compete cause everyone at his real weight class is actually heavier.

In MMA it’s even more exaggerated as being heavier is more important for grappling than it is for just boxing.

Anyhow I don’t think Mayweather was gonna fight him anyway, he doesn’t need the money and I would figure he doesn’t want to risk defeat.

Manny’s struggles against JMM, a counterpuncher like Mayweather illustrate to me that Mayweather, an even better counterpuncher, would have been the victor in that fight, even if happened 2 or 3 years ago when it should have.

But I guess Mayweather is not as confident in his own abilities. Too bad for him, he’ll be remembered for ducking Pacman (I think there was reluctance on both sides but more Mayweather), beating him would have done much for his legacy.

After a lackluster effort against Bradley (Paq was certainly robbed of the decision but he really should have knocked the light punching Bradley out) and highlight reel KO this might be it for Manny.

Also interesting, the UFC was on free tv last night (when was the last time boxing was? The early 90’s?) and all the talk is about Paq getting KOed.
