Manny Pacquaio was a very big letdown last night.

He was awful, he stunk the place out.

I guess that is why he was so resistant to the drug testing.

 

I don't think he was a letdown.

maybe if you've missed all his fights since, say, 2011.

 

I have no doubt Pacquiao wanted to win that fight badly, but he just didn't have an answer for Floyd. I've always known he wasn't the cleverest fighter in the ring but I thought he had a bit more going on upstairs during a fight than that. He showed Floyd a few angles, tried to throw in some unorthodox footwork at times, and that was about it. I thought he'd bring more, so yeah, disappointing, and Freddie Roach didn't seem to have any solid advice for him whatsoever. So much for building a plan to beat him for the last 6 years.

 

Could of came in with a better game plan. Floyd wasn't exactly doing anything new or unusual. Roach just doesn't get it when it comes to Floyd.

 

Why do you think Pac was reluctant to let his hands?:think
Hey remember Mayweather can't punch.

 

Pac was being careful because he didnt want to get hit on the counter.

Bigger man with longer reach won.

 

This is all true. Pacquiao could have made the fight more competitive if he fought the way he fought Clottey. He had more speed than Mayweather but a lot less accuracy.

He had enough speed and power to hurt Mayweather just by punching his arms and body over 12 rounds like he did with Clottey but he paced himself and somehow was concerned about Mayweather's counters.

It could be that Mayweather has underrated power. At the same time Calzaghe proved that you can beat Hopkins using volume so the same kind of fight and Pacquiao could have beat Mayweather but Pacquiao didn't have the sort of power and timing to do what Calzaghe did.

Also Calzaghe could change his style up. Pacquiao didn't change his style consistently when he was having success. For example his feints were working well and he made Floyd freeze up at times.

 

Since coming off PEDs he simply doesnt have the same stamina he once had all those years ago. He can no longer go the full three minutes working solidly throwing punches like he used too.

 

He must have wanted, but he didn't show any will in the ring. He could have made it more competitive, but he was too narcissistic, self-confident, careless, hypoctitical and stupid to think that he is doing enough to win the fight. Freddy Roach has contributed to that.

After all, I'm glad that the truth, which lies in strategy and dedication, has finaly won the accumulation of lies, public manipulation and hypocricity.

 

It's the same story over and over. If you're a strong, aggressive inside fighter who can bully Mayweather onto the ropes and pin him there for long periods of time, you can have success in the same manner that Castillo and Maidana did. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done because Floyd is deceptively strong and a top notch inside fighter himself.

If you allow him to fight anywhere around the center of the ring though, chances of beating him drop exponentially.

 

Pacquiao came to fight. No shame in that. He took the fight to Floyd busted him up real good in the 4th. Floyd did his thing, he did what he do best.
