    that's the problem with Floyd and F l o m o s hate to hear it. in order to somewhat appreciate floyd's style, you have to be a boxing fan, that understands boxing. Any cross over fan will look at Floyd and ask themselves 'Is this fighting? why did he win?'

    and even some boxing fans won't like his style so Floyd is just not an exciting fighter.

    Why is anyone still letting Pac****s rile them up? It's over.

    Hard to go for it when you're chasing shadows man, think about fighting a guy in a room and he keeps running to the other side of the room and when you do trap him he hugs when you get too close.

    He's fcking great at it, but it's just not what the public wants to see.

    Tell me again how Manny was shot when he just beat the top ten p4p Tim Bradley last year. Hand speed still looks good to me he was just missing.

    There were opportunities to throw, just not good opportunities. The man didn't want to go out on his shield. It is what it is.

    Let me put it another way and ask you a question.

    Do you think Marcos Maidana and Ricky Hatton are better than Manny Pacquiao? If that answer is no, like my answer is no, ask yourself this question.

    Why were they able to bring the fight to Mayweather and Pacquiao wasn't?

    Answer? If you watch those other fights, Marcos and Ricky took some hard counter shots to get in on Floyd and try to put in their own work. You can say what you want, but Manny wasn't willing to pay that price and was keenly aware any time Floyd's right hand was in firing position. Manny was already having enough problems getting by the left hand. No matter what, the man was going to take punches trying to get in, especially the more reckless he got.

    Just the 'threat' of the right hand was keeping Manny tame. He was never going to win a fight like that, sorry. The guy was totally tamed by Mayweather.

    The man ahead on the cards shouldn't be expected to go for broke to make it exciting. That should be the guy who was obviously down: Manny Pacquiao.

    No doubt even this oac beats 99% of the rest

    But Floyd has definitely aged better because he has much higher boxing IQ

    Floyd looked faded vs Maidana.

    Everyone is old, shot or cherry picked after Floyd beats them. That's how pac nation logic works.

    If that doesn't suit their argument, DENIAL is used.

    And if that fails, they create an ALT, repeat step #1.

    True his style may not be entertaining to many but regardless, there is no doubt that he won. And, OK, if Pacquiao had an injured shoulder (open mind here), he should have postponed the fight. The whole "he didn't realize the Nevada commission wasn't going to let him have the shot" should have been looked into with anticipation. I don't believe it because you didn't sense any concern for the shoulder in between rounds. You didn't see him struggle to throw it. You just saw him hesitate at throwing anything.

    Watch Floyd come out and look like **** in his next bout. He won his first title in 98.

    And idiotic Floyd fans laughed and said that Pac died in the ring against Marquez and that he was done. When Floyd finally sacked up to fight him, Pac was prime?

    OK, but throwing less than the guy "running" shouldn't warrant that fighter a win either.
