The official Mayweather vs. Pacquiao aftermath trash receptacle

Skip Bayless is well known as professional troll, Manny supporter and Floyd hater. That's his shtick.

However, in the two videos from First Take that followed that one he was more subdued and accepted that Floyd had indeed won (he also had the TMT hat back on):

Haters & fakers still have a beef
cause Mayweather last Saturday showed them his teeth
The clinch that was key in cutting Manny down
was followed by bodyshots that made Pac****s frown

That Mayweather, that wifebeater
we hate him so much
him punking our heroes
We've just had enough

But greatness comes from all the dues paid
And that's the reason for Money's HeyDay !

 

i wasn't around during ali's prime but i hear he was one of the most hated athletes of his time, much like mayweather he was a big mouth and fought a defensive style that was unbeatable in his prime. ali also converted to islam and dodged the draft. after all that years after his retirement the public grew to love ali, do you think the public will have a change of heart for mayweather 10 years from now?

i bet if mayweather booked a blockbuster event in africa like the thrilla in manilla and changed his attitude he could gain the respect of the public. a trilogy w pac could have been awesome but it doesn't seem pac has the ability, power or ring i.q. at 147 to make it interesting. there is no one left to give mayweather a run for his money.

what can mayweather do at this point to change public perception of him and make him be an adored icon to the world and truly be thought of as TBE?

 

This is awful. Just awful.

 

You still yet to answer whether you have actually watched rounds 5-10 yet?

If he wasn't hesitate why did he throw his lowest number of punches in a 12 round fight yet.

 

Did you say fight of the century

or

"flight" of the century

 

Yes, because he made Pacquiao look like an amateur.

 

Floyd was being... Floyd. He has gone undefeated by his formula of distance, jab, defense, counter. Did I expect anything different? No. He is not the one to put people to sleep. Hes not the one to leave his opponent bruised and beat up. It leaves a lot of casual fans dissatisfied and bored... But he is trying win scorecards with efficient punches. Just the way he is. I find it boring even as a more than casual fan, but i respect his art.

I had expectations of Pac to get the fight more toe to toe. I really don't know what happened and he is to blame for the snoozefest. He let mayweather play his game, in fact he threw less punches than mayweather. I know people say rd 1 mayweather established a jab... but the old manny would get inside and take the punch anyways. He did win a few rounds in beginning... But I think he was just frustrated. Around round 8 roach must have told him "you either go for the KO or take the loss" and sadly I think manny just decided to accept he can't get in on mayweather and collect his paycheck. Go and rewatch rounds 8-12... they are just toying with eachother. Manny actually stopped what attacks he was doing at the end.

At the end of the fight, Mayweather performed his art and won easy. But when both fighters are smiling at the end and neither had a scratch on them, was it really an entertaining display? Its not Floyds fault, its how he fights. But I question if either fighter really left their hearts in the ring and that saddens me.

My take from the fight is the Mayweather is an ageless wonder and really has cemented his legacy. Definitely not TBE at all, but an all time great. IMO Pacman did nothing to hurt his legacy at all. All he told us is that he has aged horribly and hes just not the fighter he was 5 years ago. He will go down as an all time great as well, cause honestly he just destroyed the ranks in weight class after weight class like no one i've seen.

There is no need for a rematch IMO. Pac is just not what he was before. I could go without Mayweather reminding us of his defense and jab skills for 36 minutes. Mayweather needs to fight someone young. Get us interested in the next generation of fighters (Khan please)

 

look at all of these pro floyd posters defending mayweathers boring style. face it 95% of fans tune in to mayweather fights in the hopes that he will finally lose. the truth is mayweather has a boring style!!!!!!! people do not want to watch 12 rounds of mayweather running, clinching, pot shotting etc etc. when was the last time floyd truly beat someone up, knocked them down/out and left there face all bloody? mayweather is a glorified slap boxer!!!!! the man is a defensive genius, has amazing defense, movement, reflexes and timing, but at this stage in his career he is a one punch at a time, boring counter puncher. admit it the man is not an entertaining fighter!!!!!

 

Floyd, made Pacman look like a ameutuer out there.

 

Please vote and provide perspectives.

 

The main thing is there was a lot of close rounds i can easily score them even and you get the close scorecards at the end.
But judges was americans, and this close/even rounds was going for Floyd ....
If they was fighting in the Philippines, the winner would probably be Pac.
All been said, Pac tactic was wrong and he didnt pressure Floyd enough.
Floyd strategy was perfect, keep the distance, and when Pac got close, push, hold and lean.
And so much guy blame and talks against Wlad for that ....

 

I don't feel he's half as arrogant as people make out, the only thing I don't like about him is how he try's to control everything about a fight. I really did feel Manny would give him hell but Mayweather was exceptional, think it's time people gave him the credit he deserves.

Knows nothing about the sport.
