because they didn't want to get hard
With Merchant I always felt he was just an old drunk dude saying whatever the fukk he felt, even if I didn't agree with him I respect it.
You my peoples Krack but I can't side with Merchant. I am happy I don't have to see him around as much now.
Good riddance. He like's those punching bag boxers that end up like Rocky movie but sh!t on the skilled boxers.

Tbh i think he really enjoys the UK media and gives them the time of day whereas he'd fob off other media because everyone from pundits to boxers to analysts give him an incredible amount of respect. I've personally never ever seen a uk pundit make a slick comment about him. Floyd must not be used to that kind of treatmentFloyd is big news across the pond, probably more popular there than here

Conventional wisdom states that in close fights Vegas judges like the fighter that's on the front foot, engaging and pressing the action.

Well, they appreciate his fighting style, anytime dude has a fight on those cats on Boxnation go crazy and basically just say "brilliant" and "master class" all throughout the broadcast, they love Floyd

I see the propaganda about Pac being so small so I thought I'd drop some knowledge.
Pac was draining to make 135/130. He was already coming into the ring 147-150.
While FMJ fighting at 135 he was coming in at 138
And while fighting at WW, 2 divisions above 135. He was only 146 against Judah
Which is still a pound less than what Pacquiao weighed for the fight against Diaz at 135.
Pac-Morales 3, Pac came in the ring 144, while fighting at 130
Floyd-Corrales, Floyd came in 136, fighting at 130
Pacquiao moving up to 147 wasn't that big of a deal because he was already that big. Which is why he didn't need a C/W against Cotto or Oscar.
Against De La Hoya he was 148. He could have fought De La Hoya with his same training regimen he used at 135, and he would more likely than not still come in with a slight weight advantage. His fight weight at Lightweight, and his "first fight" at Welterweight are the same. Which means he didn't put on any size when he was moving up, he just dehydrated less, while Oscar was in full corpse mode
Now let this sink in.
Floyd came in the ring 148, fighting at Junior Middleweight.
Pac came in the ring 147 fighting at Lightweight.
That's a 1 pound difference between 3 divisions. Pac isn't THAT SMALL. and in some alternate universe where Pacquiao and Floyd met at 135, 130, or 140, Pacquiao would have a solid weight advantage. Maybe around 10 pounds.
147 is the only weight where he and Pac would be equal. Floyd was 148 against Maidana, and Pac was 150 against Bradley.
And for those who say "Floyd is taller, so he is bigger" I say to you, that if Pacquiao has been coming in the ring 145-150 since his days at 130. And Floyd has always been within 5 pounds of the weight he's fighting at, that would mean that even though Floyd is taller, Pacquiao has more more muscle mass. A Lightweight Floyd came into the ring 138. A lightweight Pacquiao came in the ring 148.
Just a quick analysis I thought I would offer. Don't crucify me
Pacquiao is arguably the naturally bigger man. Floyd had to add on the weight through time.
Im not arguing that Floyd is smaller right now. Floyd has put on his weight through training. As a 25 year old man he was coming into the ring 136.
As a 25 year old man Pac was coming into the ring 148. Pac has stopped growing.
Floyd has had to actually work to move through weight classes.
They are the same size now.
People forget that Pac was probably malnourished in his 105 days. He probably wasn't even a natural 105. I heard he had it hard coming up. Him being 105 probably had a lot to do with him not eating very well. Floyd was 106 as an american teenager. Who ate well.
It's not that hard to imagine that Pac is NATURALLY bigger. And had he had an average American upbringing he probably wouldn't have even been 105 pounds at that age.
No matter your god gifted genetics, you still need to fuel yourself. And I think once he was able to, he just got bigger. Like he would have been had he ate well.
