  2. Floyd needs to stack his events with a big name opponent and Alvarez who has THE BIGGEST FOLLOWING of any young fighter
    Cotto - top 3 ppv attraction
    Ortiz - off biggest free hbo event of year vs berto
    Oscar - biggest star then
    Jmm & hatton didnt break 1 mill

    All energy most of the time? He fought less than one minute out of every three minute round in his last fight. Hardly high intensity and hardly what people want to see.

    Yes...


    When I left PAC mosely i was like raelly? ***** realy? your gonna waste my time chasing this is old **** and you cant even catch him? and then tap gloves all night?? FML money waste.

    When I left Mosely/May man that was some serious schooling, mosely almost had May on the floor, good fight.


    When I left May Cotto, man what an Epic fight, May worked all night, and cotto left a good ipression of himself he made may work, got to him made him bleed and just make it a competitive fight. Money well spent

    WHen I left PAC MARQUEZ/Bradley.. I saw the fighter that won GET robbed, with a sour taste for boxing and feeling jipped.

    ORtiz / Cotto were kind of exciting, because they pressed the action .Floyd's "exciting" fights happen because his opponent brings it to him. Nice fail though.

    Yes, FMJ's last 3 fights have been better in terms of both excitement and performance than Pac's last 3. I was very disappointed in the lack of action in Pac-JMM III.

    Obviously not lol look at the ppv numbers. And outside
    Of the dela hoya fight if you think any of floyds fights are boring you have and agenda. Or you should watch mma cause you don't like boxing. I don't know rather you guys are new boxing fans or just plain stupid but Floyd has always been exciting. Before he came to welterweight he use to destroy people..he had a better offense then pac. But he wasn't big enough to fight that way at ww. But now that he's filled out he's going back to fighting again. The proof is in the pudding. He fought Judah and hatton toe to toe cause they were his size. He boxed baldy and dela hoya cause they were huge.

    Floyd was pressing the attack vs Ortiz and Cotto came on to him. Butthurt that Pacquiao can only fight one way and can't adjust?

    AND NEWWWWWWWWWWW WBO CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.....

    He is not more exciting than Manny of old, he is just slowing down and that makes for better fights.
    Floyd if he had it his way he doesnt give a **** if he bores you to sleep. Manny if anything atleast he goes for the kill each and every time

    Recently? Yes, I think that is accurate. Pac has been letting off the gas, he hasn't been finishing. Against Bradley he was taking minutes off during rounds (not that Bradley did anything about it). On the other hand, Mayweather's fight with Cotto was a great match. Floyd has been fighting more aggressively lately, like he used to. The Cotto fight was a lot more interesting than the Bradley; but that could also be because Cotto is a lot better than Bradley and put up a much better fight. Still, credit should be given to Floyd who fought Cotto at a weight class that favored Cotto. So yeah, I think it is safe to say that Mayweather has been more exciting lately.

    However, don't delude yourself, that Mosley fight was horrible. Pac and Mayweather gave really bland performances against Mosley; though, to be fair, Mosley was fighting negatively during both matches. The only interesting round, in the Floyd match, was when Mosley nearly knocked Floyd down; that certainly doesn't help Floyd's argument a tremendous amount. Terrible, terrible fights to watch.
