The official Mayweather vs. Pacquiao aftermath trash receptacle

A Call to sobriety.
Addressing 'Hit and Don't Get Hit'
Addressing 'It was a Defensive Masterclass'

Disclaimer: I had the fight 116-112, a win for Mayweather. It was an abysmal fight to watch, any tension we felt was pre-conditioned by the hype and the stakes involved.
Holyfield, Mosley and Lomachenko had Pacquiao winning - all appealing to effective aggression.

I am embarrassed to admit to casual boxing fans that Mayweather is the best of this generation. The boxer at the pinnacle of the sport wins a fight by utilising clinching and running - this is what skills are at the top level? People are laughing at boxing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You claim: In Boxing, it's Hit and Don't Get Hit. Mayweather didn't allow Pacquiao to get close

Floyd Mayweather's concern was winning, and in that he took the fighting out of boxing - it was no longer boxing and we have seen lesser fighters do the same thing to help 'win' fights with clinching and running. By the way, must we call Klitschko's clinching performance against Povetkin a work of mastery?
There's no real ' masterful skill' in that.

I don't want to hear comments like 'well, Roach and Manny should have known better and found away to press the attack'.
Whenever Pacquiao tried to cut off the ring, Floyd LITERALLY RAN.

Have you ever envisioned a Golovkin-Floyd fight? Golovkin cuts off the ring better than Manny, Floyd will actually sprint away until Golovkin eventually KO's him with his extra-terrestrial power. An expression of defensive genius? Sure, buddy.

You claim: "It was a defensive masterclass, a great display of skill. Mayweather 'outclassed' him!"

You've forgotten what the term masterclass refers to, you're devaluing the term 'masterclass'.

Defensive mastery is someone who can stay in punching range and can engage whilst proving his defensiveness in this territory. Such a condition necessitates masterful defensive skill to avoid getting hit, whilst still being able to be active. Floyd Mayweather's biggest fans will appeal to the punchstats to define what defensive mastery is, they simply forgot that defensive mastery is multidimensional.
Therefore, Floyd's performance lacked a mastery.

Floyd's work against Canelo was a defensive clinic (but us purists know it's not mastery as Canelo didn't pose much offensive threat with his style, flat-footedness, overly telegraphed punching etc. so less was required of Mayweather.


Conclusion

All of that time wasted on forums getting angry in back and forths for SIX YEARS, all of that money spent on the PPV..maybe you're just calling Mayweather's showing a 'masterclass' to make you run from the guilt you feel over wasting your life.
He puts on a stinker of a fight when we were hoping to get a superfight like Hagler-Leonard, giving the fans what they want to see and deserve for the 6 year delay but Mayweather doesn't care, and you are still worshipping him. I will thus leave you with this following sentiment:
A fool parted from his money and/or time, the biggest of fools will justify it to no end.

 

algieri didnt have the size advantage that floyd has.

i cant remember exactly, i think the fight was not 147.

algieri had the right to run against a pac who wasnt diminished. and he didnt hug for dear life.


50pct pac still staggered floyd. jst tht the bigger, stronger, faster guy ran faster than usain bolt.

 

when did Pac say he was going for the ko

i wait

 

Frazier had great fights with Ali because he made the fights great, he gave everything he had and made Ali give everything he had, which made for a great fight. Same can be said for Leonard-Hagler, but Pacquiao wasn't good enough to make Floyd dig deep. Pacquiao wasn't good enough on the night to make Floyd enter his B-Game, let alone his A-game. The fight was just too easy for Floyd, and I blame Pacquiao for that.

 

everyone knows he fought like a coward check on twitter,facebook ext everyone is ****ting on him fighting scared

How can you run and be scared of a guy who is smaller?

 

49-0 Baby! Hard Work?.......... Hard Work?.........

And before you moan about the 49-0 being wrong, no one left who can beat him (Khan could come close IMO, make for an exciting fight), one more fight left, it's in the bag pretty much.

49-0. The legend, the king, the black slick trick defensive masterclass that is

Floyd Money May

Hey, why not make it 50-0, just to round it off?

 

ahahhahahaha i would even like him to be more rich if that means he cant get true love and have a **** life money is not everything believe me i would wish he was more rich if that meant he doesnt have people who truly love him which he does not ahahahah

 

his shoulder wasn't the problem its was his feet he couldn't get anywhere near Floyd !

 

They said it this past week.
