I was at a fight party earlier and this dude was complaining that all Floyd does is run and hug....:what:


I was like bruh so all it takes to beat Manny is to run and hug? shyt I might can beat him if its that easy. And did you not see his previous 47 fights....he doesn't let dudes hit him and everybody knows that. Da fukk did you expect?

Then I said if Floyd was white, he would be considered by ALL to be a great tactician and this white chick went berserk.

If Floyd was white many whites would have put him as the greatest of all tine long ago, and if he was a white republican my lord he would be on his way to becoming president.

Manny looked lost he struggled with a slow chubby Marquez why did people think he could ever fukk with a master of the ring like Floyd. Manny looks great vs slow plodding Margarito or Rios type guys I haven't been impressed with Manny in years even his fights with Bradley that was more Bradley fighting like a dumbass than Pac.

Its how it looks... Floyd's style isn't pleasing on the eye... but people who boxing or study box know its the exact way to perform..

I think Manny tried to figure him out and use his brain, where he could have taken more risks, it was interesting he was trying adjustments..

Basically Manny tried to step his intelligence game up, not risk a KO and failed.. hence those stats...
This dude gets it

Because the real world is no different than this site. Everybody was/is focused on Mayweather, Pacquiao is simply a replaceable prop. We're going to go through this whole ordeal again in September. Yes, people were cheering for Pac but they were watching for Mayweather. The narrative was never about anything about Mayweather; he's always going to get the credit and blame for anything. Even if Pac would have won the narrative would've been focused on May losing. Even the Mayweather fans on this site are essentially just the opposite side of the same coin.

TLDR= nobody really gave a fukk about Pacquiao coming in.

boxing's decline has meant that a lot of knowledgeable fans no longer exist. we have a lot of race warriors and people looking for blood and guts. in the old days, there would be no shortage of pacman fans who would have noticed that manny was too shook to fight aggressively down the stretch. now even the fighters themselves know that the average fan is dumb, so they openly use excuses for not being able to cut off the ring. old school fighters were expected to know how to do that.

:mjpls: He was the one with the action packed fighting style. He had plenty of opportunities to force more action but didn't.

You can't expect someone to stand in front of you and take punches to the dome for other peoples entertainment. You listen to how some of these retired boxers talk and its :snoop:


But most people paid to see Pacquiao win. The crowed was either pro Pacquiao or indifferent. The burden was on him to force the action and he didn't. :manny:

So why are people not criticizing him?
The bad part was Mayweather took like 3 middle rounds off walking into him with his hands down and Manny was only able to take one of those rounds...


In rounds 11-12 May showed he was on cruise control in earlier rounds, he tried to walk Manny to a respectable showing and even Mayweather couldn't sell that

Bad performance from both of them. I've seen floyd look far better than part last night. And Manny couldn't hit the broad side of a barn last night.



Terrible fight by both of them.
Mayweather was sharp numbers showed this, Manny aint make him get out of second gear...Mayweather stood in front of him and wanted exchanges for the most part....

Just curious, if we stick with this racing analogy do you appreciate someone more who laps their opponent or does enough to stay ahead and win the race... the burden is on both people to make the fight entertaining... Money mayweather will never, ever, carry a boring fighter... PBF woulda embarassed Pacquiao.. obviously the difference is age, a younger, hungrier floyd woulda destroyed pacquiao even though an older floyd coulda destroyed him if he wanted
