There are too many belts and weight classes today...that's the problem.If there was like 3-4 belts in the lighter classes everybody was going to fight for them...and until now we would have seen 3-4 fights between manny and floyd...
Can you imagine Hagler and Hearns avoiding each other? They would have been laughed out of the business. In the past you had to defeat the top contenders, even after winning the belt, before you were seen as a genuine champ. It is disgraceful that Pac-May hasn't happened. And I don't think either of them has done enough to get this fight.
I would love to have seen Prime Hagler VS Prime Roy Jones . I think it would have ended up like the first fight between Jones/ Hopkins or Hagler / Leonard . Hagler would press the action , while Jones would look to land flashy combinations like Leonard and keep on the move .
Hagler was unheralded as a totally superb boxer, as it was in his earlier days. Undoubtedly, he's decisively a middleweight legend. Pacquiao vs Mayweather reminds me more of Duran vs Leonard 1. Two or so yrs ago, I'd a said Manny wins without question, but after their last two/three bouts, Manny's lost that sling-shot speed and desire to be ferocious. Where Floyd has looked sublime against Mosley, Marquez and eventually Ortiz.
I agree that Mayweather-Pacquiao is the same as Hagler-Leonard, in more ways than one. It's the fight everyone wants, and it probably won't happen until Manny is past his prime. That's what happened to Hagler. He'd been fighting the best in the world for years, and Leonard saw he was starting to fade, and decided to take the challenge. Floyd is waiting for the same thing. If it doesn't happen this year, it won't be worth watching. Good to see Marvin is still healthy, he's a great spokesman.
Marvin Haglar is good person. I wonder how he stayed so grounded after having such a great career. Most fighters can't speak very well after their boxing career.
Hagler's pronouncement in here is correct...factual...I'm a sugar Ray Leonard fan but the fact was documented....Leonard avoided Hagler in his prime... much like Floyd is to Pacquiao now...
I grew up watching MMH, he was/is my favorite fighter. Too many good things to say about the Man. To think he had 60+ fights against some murderous punching middleweights, never been knocked off his feet(Roldan fight was a slip) and here he is speaking articulately and intelligently. He had a HOF career will always remain a legend and retired at the right time. Oh how i long for the good ole days:)
If it goes the distance -> I think Pac wins. Many experts have suggested that it will be Pac in a decsion because he's the much busier fighter, will be one coming forward, and it just seems unlikely that either will be able to knock the other out. To me, this seems like the most likely outcome too.
@ch1nmuzak it could go that way but ffloyd is a counter puncher and manny is a very offensive fighter and leaves himself open for counter attacks. Could go anyway!
Five (5) not four,they forgot Wilfredo Benitez, who went the whole 15 rounds against Leonard and one punch (among manny from both fighters), (which could went either way), Leonard was the fortunate to end with the victory, (for me nobody loose that day). One of the best performance by both fighters, and the victory that Benitez had over Duran. The staff should get their facts straight before let the commentator talk. Other than that good interview, and hats down to one of the best MMH,
there you are, you heard it from one of the greatest fighter of all times, the "Marvelous" boxer. No arguments, no excuses, no dictations, just fight.. that's what it should be...
I do not like Mayweather, but I think he takes Pacman for three reasons, He is faster although Pacman is fast 2) is arguably the greatest defensive fighter ever and 3) great counter puncher.
@easyscore disagree. i dont think mayweather is as fast as pacman "now". u think mayweathers defense is as good as pernell whitaker? back to the point, mayweather has the reach on him. and if he does that step back everytime someone throws a punch at him (you know what i mean lol) i think manny can get him with the awkard punching and his movement. mosley almost had him. but mayweather displayed that outstanding defense when mosley had him in trouble. that was an older mosley too not to mentio
@mansamusa2012 Floyd is the better boxer but he knows Manny will control the fight and the pace on how the fight flows. Floyd knows he will lose on the score card because he's a boxer not a fighter. Given the fact that Manny has a good chin too. The only way I see Floyd win is by Knock Out, but I doubt that will happen because Manny is so well beyond condition.
@Moe7133 exactly what i say people underrate pacs conditioning this guy runs 12 miles with marathon runners and trains hard as shit, u hear him grunt when he hits the mits and may just plays patty cake lol, and pac has a really good chin this aint ameture boxing so what if floyd counters pacs coming wiith flurrys
I wonder what Mayweather feels whenever his countrymen says he is wrong for demanding such test especially the legends of boxing who are the ones commenting. Pacquiao never tested positive in his entire career, so why he is demanding all of these? He thinks he is the God of boxing? That he can dictate whatever rules he wants? Come on Floyd, you are just scared of Manny. Shame on you...look how tall and big you are yet you still don't want to fight a smaller guy. tsk...tsk..tsk..
@paulyabumcheek P4P Ray was the best ever. But that would be when he was a welterweight. At middleweight, thought still awesome, he wasn't quite as invincible. And he didn't carry the title as long as Hagler, or Hopkins for that matter. Hard to say who was the best middleweight. In no particular order I'd say Robinson, Hagler, Cerdan, Hopkins, and Monzon. I won't give my pick for the #1 spot, so as to avoid being called an idiot by less mature folks. I'll let everyone else decide
if this fight happened this deserves a trilogy. pacquiao will lose at 1st and with roach brain theyn can win the 2nd and the third that is the most exciting part. i even can't imagine how amazing that fight can be. so FLOYD let it happen man!!
i hit mistakenly hit send before i could finish my comment, and it will be misinterpreted. I was saying Bruce Lee is in that same class. Not just "Bruce Lee is." Anyway, Marvin is the greatest fighter of all time...
Boxing 101 a boxer usually wins over a slugger, the list is too long to name, names. Sugar Ray Leonard was color commentating a Hagler Fight, when he was out of the game and told the world he would beat Marvin Hagler. Leonard didn't hurt Hagler at all. But he out point him, won the fight Hagler retired. Hagler KO'd everyone. he could box, like Pac Man. If Floyd is nothing else he is smart. He can't KO Pac Man but he can wait he'll fight him. when he knows he can win. that's why he ain't lost yet
We need another Hagler. This guy was afraid of no one, he would never give some bullshit excuse just to get out of a risky fight. One of the bravest fighters of all time.
He may not have an undefeated record like Floyd but who do you think is more respected?
Hagler and Hearns were great fighters who earned their respect. Mayweather is great as well but will never achieve the respect for as long as continues to make up excuses to avoid Pacquiao. Deep inside, Mayweather appears to be afraid of this one fighter, Pacquiao. Hearns, Hagler, Ali, and all the greats never ducked anyone.
The biggest potential revenue generating fight in boxing today would be, without a doubt Maywether vs Pacquiao. So, if Maywether is "all about the money" he would accept this fight in a heartbeat, obviously there are other factors stopping him, it would seem fear is the most obvious factor. Pac-man fears no-one, maywether fears anyone with a chance of winning.
He's not ducking Pacman, he's making another couple hundred mil fighting lesser competition and playing it safe. Belts and public opinion mean nothing, the only thing that matters is the $.
The Fact is that WADA/USADA have not proven that they can detect HGH or EPO...This was at heart of the NFL/Players Lockout. WADA/USADA has failed to provide the NFL Commissions Office and the Players UNION documentation and scientic proof that their tests are valid. Dr. Don Caitlin, The God Father of the Anti-Doping Movement in SPORTS has vented his Frustration at WADA and states he has begged for the proof since 2004. WHY is WADA refusing to SHOW PROOF that their tests are Valid???
mayweather is protecting his unbeaten record...he ducks cotto before,he ducks margarito before and now his ducking pacquiao.he better retire now while his unbeaten!he still not the greatest because he can't fight and beat pacman as what he calls himself as "the greatest"!maybe he wants to fight pacquiao out of his prime and that's when pacquiao at the age of 50!!!
Agreed with Hagler we need to have 1 tittle per weight we have too much chicken runners like De la Hoya avoiding Trinidad, we got now Floyd doing the same thing, he avoid Cotto, Pacman, Paul Williams and anothers fighters jees... 3 or 4 tittle in same weight is ridiculous
lol, Mayweather thinks Manny is on Roids, that has to be the utmost respect.. If Mayweather was the best of all time or the best right now, he would prove it and fight Manny... So Manny should take the the test for roids after the fight...
People might not know this after the Leonard robbery, he moved overseas and became an action hero in Italian films; basically the Schwatzenneger of Italy.
Of course Mayweather will demand for that random blood test. He keeps on saying "Look I got zero loss, no blueprint exists on how to beat me. Look at Pacquiao, he got 3 losses already, and there's already a blueprint on how to beat him"
LOL, that's how he will beat Pacquiao, when he lost to Morales in 2005 with the unexpected blood vials extracted 2 days before the fight w/o prior notice. Psych-edge will be huge LOL let him get that blood extraction close to fight day
I love Haglar, but does he even kow the story? Floyd will be subjected to the same testing. Why is he saying that Floyd is asking Pac to do a test that he wouldn't do. 2:18 - 2:27. Other than that, he is right the public is demanding this fight. Lets do it.
@goukimess Hagler wouldn't know the story? This just goes to show how whacked out Floyd fans are (whatever is remaining of them). WHO ARE YOU??? Hagler says. Imagine the Mavs telling the Heat next year that we won't risk our title to you until you all take the test. WHO ARE YOU MAVS??? WHO ARE YOU?? WHO ARE YOU FLOYD?? WHO ARE YOU?? I am afraid of Pacman, Floyd finally admits.
GUys ! Gays ! stop talking about drug testing demands ! pacquiao already said yes to everything. Watch the espn boxing and pacquaio said yes to testing up to the end of the fight !
-Just a question guys.. your free to share your thoughts/insights about this.
"Whose got the better chin? pacquiao or mayweather?" just wondering coz I think Floyd's chin hasnt been put on a real test yet or hasnt been hit hard enough.. and please lets stop the non sense arguments. both guys are great!
So glad to see Marvin Hagler in youtube N am a big fan always watched the fight way back in the 80"s more power to MH,he told the truth about Floyd,& the buck.
Hagler is the real deal, Floyd is just a scared paranoid pussy. Floyd should let the commission take care of the rules and get in the ring with Pacquiao. Floyd is not the only undefeated fighter...Canelo is 37-0, Chavez Jr is 43-0, Rios is undefeated, Bute is undefeated...tons of undefeated fighters out there.....undefeated just means they haven't fought the best yet and too scared too.
I love Marvin; but he should get his facts straight. Floyd NEVER said that Pacman is the ONLY one to be tested. He is taking the test as well. He did against Mosley, he did against Marquez, and he is doing so with Ortiz. All Floyd is doing is ensuring they are playing on a fair term and there is nothing wrong with that.
@TheOCTAVIUS72 Doesn't the boxing commision test the fighters anyways. I though all fighters are tested after the fight. If that is the case why have a test before the fight. Why draw blood and possibly weaken a fighter?
I remember when Marvelous, Sugar, Hitman and Hands Of Stone were fighting each other, there were only 3 belts (WBC, WBA and IBF) and the main belt in most peoples eyes was the WBC belt, now, like Marvelous says, there are god knows how many belts out there now (WBO, WBU etc) what a load of crock. That is why its so hard to get undisputed world champs these days and its a joke, I remember Marvelous taking the title off our guy Minter, and the disgraceful treatment he got from fans. Legend.
Thats right ,who are you, who the hell are you? to dictate the terms when you are not even the champion. Floyd dont care about the future of boxing that made him wealthy, all he care about is making more money by clinging to his undefeated title and keep fighting ones he knows he can beat.
@caloy2x I agree with your comment, Pac has been the most current and busy champion. he has stated on numerous occasions that he wants to fight Floyd. I believe that if they fight, Floyd would win on a split decision based on his boxing skills. However, the problem that Pac provides to Floyd is that he is a south paw, a great counter puncher who stays busy, may be able to match Floyds speed as well. Fighters may gain power in several ways, weight gain, strehgth,conditioning, and weightlifting.
Floyd is scared. He's worried about his perfect record, his legacy when in reality, the way he's avoiding this fight is much worse for his legacy than if he just fought pac man years ago when he should have and lost. Manning up and losing would be better for his legacy than running scared from him. The record books may say he's undefeated but the people who know boxing will always know that he was running scared from fighting the #1 boxer in the world
Manny vs Floyd fight is already tainted......those guys should have fought 3 years ago.....by the time they fight both these fools will be well into their mid 30's............so if one or the other loses, they will jus say, they weren't in their prime.....
@b00too its not tainted just yet.they still have till next year to get this fight.if this fight dont happen next year then it will be tainted and both of them out there prime
Don't forget the value of the US Dollar isn't the same, so it's not a matter of how much they are going to make, it's a matter of how valuable the US Dollar really is. The value 100 million dollars would be the equivalent of roughly 10 million in the 80's. Let's get this straight here.
@Veechie4short you got it the other way around. Pacquiao is willing to fight Mayweather. However the countless ever changing and never ending demands of Mayweather reasons the deal went dead.
Pacquiao and Mayweather WILL meet,everything in life happens exactly whens its meant to,from when you're born to when you die and everything inbetween.People just need to be patient!!Ali/Frazier 1,Tyson/Lewis,Klitchko/Haye even Hagler/Leonard,all super fights always take a long long time to happen,but always do in the end!!
As much as i respect Marvin Hagler as a boxer, i do not agree with his views on the matter and he should think before he talks.. What Hagler is saying is, Mayweather should take the fight with Pacquiao regardless. Its funny how people on the outside/ex boxers like to dictate who a fighter should fight.. If i remember rightly it was Hagler who denied Mike McCallum the opportunity to fight for HIS belt, mmmm, I WONDER WHY, that would have been a good fight..
The World Doping Agency also doesn't take blood test during the two weeks leading up to the fight. Wth that eing said, they can always pull a vile of blood store t and then in 2 years when we find new ways to find PED's in the blood stream pull the vle and test again. So, I agree with beniceokay
Dam, I know Marvin has been living in Italy for a long time and hasn't been keeping up with a lot of the bullshit in boxing but he sounded kind of clueless in regards to Floyd's demands on drug testing. It looks like he thinks that Floyd only wants Manny to take the tests and not take them himself. If Jeremy Shaap would have told him that both fighters would be subjected to the sam test it would be interesting to hear his response then. Big ups to Marvin, the greatest MW of all time.
@alltimeboxing We'd all love 1 belt per division. Manny is my favorite fighter but he didn't deserve that bogus belt. No way it happens though. Letter organizations make fighters pay for the belts they win. That's why Floyd beat Mosley when he was champion but didn't get the belt. He refused to pay the fee. That's why (I forget who) but a major organization announced they are having a regular & now "super" champion.
We need to come up with 1 belt per weight class. Thats exactly what I say for years. Thanks Mr Hagler.
Concerning Mayweather vs Pacquiao it certainly wont happen because (and I respect Floyd so much for his achievements and talent) Floyd doesn't want it to happen, thats clear. He doesnt want to put a red mark on his perfect Boxrec record, u can understand that.
i believe mayweather has a great shoulder roll defence and also quick, i think pacquiao will have a hard time penetrating on that..but Pacquiao will not let floyd touches him, this fight so exciting..
Pacman will throw 100 punches and 30 will land. Floyd will dodge but will throw 20 and 15 will land. After 12 round, manny will win if not by ko then by unanimous decision unless the judges cheats and gave it to mayweather. No matter how much you guys like mayweather he will have problems with pacman. Admit it. Sugar shame couldn't do what he did to mayweather on pacman. Pacman gave him a dose of his medicine. Mayweather will lose this fight unless he ko manny.
Mayweather has a perfect record, if i was going to put my perfect record on the line it is only fair that the man who beats me does it cleanly. Olympic style drug testing needs to be implemented across the board, fighters are putting lives and careers on the line.
@beniceokay News is that the Pacquiao camp has agreed to unlimited testing. However, Bob Arum is imposing that the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) will do the testings instead of USADA, since Pacquiao is Filipino and Mayweather is an American fighter. I think this makes sense, and I hope that the Mayweather camp agrees with this, so we can finally see this fight happen and for the good of the sport of boxing.
@NewHaarlem the 21 ppl that like this comment obviously dont know WADA only sets the rules for the DOPING CODE worldwide & that national agencies like USADA (who by the way is endorsed by Congress & tests EVERY olympic athlete that lives/trains in America) carry out/implement the actual testing. WADA DOESN'T test anybody..they jus determine the banned substances & procedures 2 carry out the test & then 1 of their APPROVED agencies (USADA) carries out the test in the country that hosts the event
and now the Mayweather's demand that Pacquiao cant train in Philippines... i dont think he knows what he's asking for. In Philippines, there would be so many distractions for Manny, here in the US, he'll be focused 100%
so really, its a double edged sword for the Mayweathers. lol
@beniceokay Find one proof or evidence that Pac has or was ever doping in the past, then you can cry Olympic Style Drug testing.. Two years later we still have no proof that Pac has even used once source of PED's.. "Tell a lie long enough and people start to believe its true" Floyds ducking technic has bamboozled you closed minded individuals..
@cperea You're right about Manny not taking PEDs.. but it's funny how Mayweather fans think that Manny is juiced or taking PEDs.. Look at this video haha, Mayweather admits ... /watch?v=LjHjrR6_-0c
@beniceokay exactly. Couldnt have said better myself. Both fighters are taking the test, its not like its just manny and this is the only demand floyd has. Everyone forgets that manny and his promoter bob arum wanted floyd to pay 10 million dollars for each pound he comes in overweight which is unheard of but floyd agreed.
@beniceokay hagler is ryt hard to accept ryt? if mayweather want to fight..no question he will fight ryt?record is only a record.. all the peapol want that fight... also you want to see the fight! if you made a choice drugtest or fight ? what do you want.? mayweather is afraid to loose thats the truth..why he comebock its because of manny ryt but now ... there so many alibies he said just to scape the fight always many talk but dont want to fight..
There are too many belts and weight classes today...that's the problem.If there was like 3-4 belts in the lighter classes everybody was going to fight for them...and until now we would have seen 3-4 fights between manny and floyd...

Boxing 101 a boxer usually wins over a slugger, the list is too long to name, names. Sugar Ray Leonard was color commentating a Hagler Fight, when he was out of the game and told the world he would beat Marvin Hagler. Leonard didn't hurt Hagler at all. But he out point him, won the fight Hagler retired. Hagler KO'd everyone. he could box, like Pac Man. If Floyd is nothing else he is smart. He can't KO Pac Man but he can wait he'll fight him. when he knows he can win. that's why he ain't lost yet

We need another Hagler. This guy was afraid of no one, he would never give some bullshit excuse just to get out of a risky fight. One of the bravest fighters of all time.
He may not have an undefeated record like Floyd but who do you think is more respected?

Hagler and Hearns were great fighters who earned their respect. Mayweather is great as well but will never achieve the respect for as long as continues to make up excuses to avoid Pacquiao. Deep inside, Mayweather appears to be afraid of this one fighter, Pacquiao. Hearns, Hagler, Ali, and all the greats never ducked anyone.

The biggest potential revenue generating fight in boxing today would be, without a doubt Maywether vs Pacquiao. So, if Maywether is "all about the money" he would accept this fight in a heartbeat, obviously there are other factors stopping him, it would seem fear is the most obvious factor. Pac-man fears no-one, maywether fears anyone with a chance of winning.

The Fact is that WADA/USADA have not proven that they can detect HGH or EPO...This was at heart of the NFL/Players Lockout. WADA/USADA has failed to provide the NFL Commissions Office and the Players UNION documentation and scientic proof that their tests are valid. Dr. Don Caitlin, The God Father of the Anti-Doping Movement in SPORTS has vented his Frustration at WADA and states he has begged for the proof since 2004. WHY is WADA refusing to SHOW PROOF that their tests are Valid???

Of course Mayweather will demand for that random blood test. He keeps on saying "Look I got zero loss, no blueprint exists on how to beat me. Look at Pacquiao, he got 3 losses already, and there's already a blueprint on how to beat him"
LOL, that's how he will beat Pacquiao, when he lost to Morales in 2005 with the unexpected blood vials extracted 2 days before the fight w/o prior notice. Psych-edge will be huge LOL let him get that blood extraction close to fight day

Hagler is the real deal, Floyd is just a scared paranoid pussy. Floyd should let the commission take care of the rules and get in the ring with Pacquiao. Floyd is not the only undefeated fighter...Canelo is 37-0, Chavez Jr is 43-0, Rios is undefeated, Bute is undefeated...tons of undefeated fighters out there.....undefeated just means they haven't fought the best yet and too scared too.

I love Marvin; but he should get his facts straight. Floyd NEVER said that Pacman is the ONLY one to be tested. He is taking the test as well. He did against Mosley, he did against Marquez, and he is doing so with Ortiz. All Floyd is doing is ensuring they are playing on a fair term and there is nothing wrong with that.

I remember when Marvelous, Sugar, Hitman and Hands Of Stone were fighting each other, there were only 3 belts (WBC, WBA and IBF) and the main belt in most peoples eyes was the WBC belt, now, like Marvelous says, there are god knows how many belts out there now (WBO, WBU etc) what a load of crock. That is why its so hard to get undisputed world champs these days and its a joke, I remember Marvelous taking the title off our guy Minter, and the disgraceful treatment he got from fans. Legend.

Thats right ,who are you, who the hell are you? to dictate the terms when you are not even the champion. Floyd dont care about the future of boxing that made him wealthy, all he care about is making more money by clinging to his undefeated title and keep fighting ones he knows he can beat.
caloy2x 6 months ago
@caloy2x I agree with your comment, Pac has been the most current and busy champion. he has stated on numerous occasions that he wants to fight Floyd. I believe that if they fight, Floyd would win on a split decision based on his boxing skills. However, the problem that Pac provides to Floyd is that he is a south paw, a great counter puncher who stays busy, may be able to match Floyds speed as well. Fighters may gain power in several ways, weight gain, strehgth,conditioning, and weightlifting.
killateral 6 months ago
Floyd is scared. He's worried about his perfect record, his legacy when in reality, the way he's avoiding this fight is much worse for his legacy than if he just fought pac man years ago when he should have and lost. Manning up and losing would be better for his legacy than running scared from him. The record books may say he's undefeated but the people who know boxing will always know that he was running scared from fighting the #1 boxer in the world

As much as i respect Marvin Hagler as a boxer, i do not agree with his views on the matter and he should think before he talks.. What Hagler is saying is, Mayweather should take the fight with Pacquiao regardless. Its funny how people on the outside/ex boxers like to dictate who a fighter should fight.. If i remember rightly it was Hagler who denied Mike McCallum the opportunity to fight for HIS belt, mmmm, I WONDER WHY, that would have been a good fight..

Dam, I know Marvin has been living in Italy for a long time and hasn't been keeping up with a lot of the bullshit in boxing but he sounded kind of clueless in regards to Floyd's demands on drug testing. It looks like he thinks that Floyd only wants Manny to take the tests and not take them himself. If Jeremy Shaap would have told him that both fighters would be subjected to the sam test it would be interesting to hear his response then. Big ups to Marvin, the greatest MW of all time.

@alltimeboxing We'd all love 1 belt per division. Manny is my favorite fighter but he didn't deserve that bogus belt. No way it happens though. Letter organizations make fighters pay for the belts they win. That's why Floyd beat Mosley when he was champion but didn't get the belt. He refused to pay the fee. That's why (I forget who) but a major organization announced they are having a regular & now "super" champion.
BIGLARRY100 7 months ago
We need to come up with 1 belt per weight class. Thats exactly what I say for years. Thanks Mr Hagler.
Concerning Mayweather vs Pacquiao it certainly wont happen because (and I respect Floyd so much for his achievements and talent) Floyd doesn't want it to happen, thats clear. He doesnt want to put a red mark on his perfect Boxrec record, u can understand that.

Pacman will throw 100 punches and 30 will land. Floyd will dodge but will throw 20 and 15 will land. After 12 round, manny will win if not by ko then by unanimous decision unless the judges cheats and gave it to mayweather. No matter how much you guys like mayweather he will have problems with pacman. Admit it. Sugar shame couldn't do what he did to mayweather on pacman. Pacman gave him a dose of his medicine. Mayweather will lose this fight unless he ko manny.

beniceokay 7 months ago 29
@beniceokay News is that the Pacquiao camp has agreed to unlimited testing. However, Bob Arum is imposing that the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) will do the testings instead of USADA, since Pacquiao is Filipino and Mayweather is an American fighter. I think this makes sense, and I hope that the Mayweather camp agrees with this, so we can finally see this fight happen and for the good of the sport of boxing.
