    It's cringeworthy, not quite on par with David Toe exposing his haye, but still bad.

    Dirrell Degale should be fun. Little hype but a nice matchup - please boxing fans look at the positives and future rather than the past.

    The fight sucked solely because Pacquaio couldn't execute anything in there against a guy who we all know is a defensive counter puncher.

    Attempting to blame Mayweather for fighting with the style he fights with when his opponent ( for the first time in my memory over the last 10-15 Floyd fights ) threw less shots than he did is really ignorant. Manny **** the bed here, and because of that, the fight was boring, Floyd makes you commit, make mistakes and punish you. He will do that whether you throw 400 punches or 1400 punches. Manny choosing to throw so few punches meant there weren't as many opportunities for him to A: Land punches and force Floyd to choose Plan B, and B: Create opportunities for Floyd to land punches.

    Yet, you still saw Floyd land with unbelievable accuracy and do so without really ever needing to accelerate.

    Would I personally have liked to see Floyd say after the 8th round "Fight is already mine, time to go after this *****" - sure. but do I hold it against a 38 yr old with a history of bad hand injuries and an inability to finish fights at 147 ever since he got there for not pressing the action? No.

    He's in his last couple of fights, he's not the fighter he was when he systematically destroyed Gatti.

    Problem is, then you've got to call me a "Wladimir" fan, or a "Calzaghe" fan, or a "Hopkins" fan, or a "Kovalev" fan, or a "Lomachenko" fan because I can point to each of their styles and point out why they're all either great fighters, or fighters who will become great.

    I have zero sympathy with Pacturds. I treat them with the same contempt as I do those f&^%ing weird scum who believe in god.

    Both convince themselves that their beliefs are more important than their eye sight. They BELIEVE in something they have NEVER seen, yet DENY things that occur in front of their very eyes.

    I would bet good money that they would scream like stuck pigs if their vision was suddenly seriously impaired.

    I'm not specifically talking about you, just the majority of trolls that nitpick each other on here, most of both camps are casual fans with agendas but not all, obviously.

    NO ONE IS SAYING FLOYD DIDN'T WIN. NOT EVEN MANNY.

    Manny has said over and over, "Floyd won, give him his credit!"

    But he also telling you he was seriously injured. He's still saying Floyd won, but when he's asked about the injury he's not going to sit there and lie.

    So it must have been the shoulder injury that made him run into the check left all night. The same check left that Roach said they were ready for and would not be effective...

    Sometimes it's better to keep quiet if you have nothing better to say. It gives off the vibe of you being a sore loser.

    If what he says is true, he should have postponed it like I said. He ripped off many fans by doing this, by not going in the best that you can be.

    That's about as scummy as it gets. Like Wladimir Klitschko said, "If you decide to get in the ring, don't cry and complain about what happens, makes you look sad"

    He hasn't personally given Floyd any credit though, he's said it's just his shoulder and how he ran and didn't let him punch him in the face. I'm sure the shoulder was a factor but it clearly wasn't exactly Martinez territory and nobody could tell a difference or that there was a big problem with it until he started in the post fight PC. He hasn't admitted that Floyd outfoxed him, his strategy was fruitless and how Mayweather negated his attempts and controlled him. Also, what if floyd showed evidence he wasn't at 100% as he stated?

    Your credibility disappeared with you trying to portray your worthless opinion as objective observation.

    The reality whether you, or anyone else likes it or not, is that Mayweather comfortably handled a fighter that many fools believed was a serious threat to him.

    It was BS to bring up the injury anyway; and funny that it was not mentioned when Kellerman interviewed Pac.

    Pac really came in with a **** strategy and no plan B,C, or D. He never adjusted to the check left and his big flurries were sloppy and ineffective. I saw him cut off the ring once effectively. And if the injury happened back when they say it did, there was plenty of time to do the appropriate paperwork for the meds during the fight.

    Arum has admitted that they did not follow proper protocol. Funny that that would be the case with the "fight of the century", the biggest fight of all time, and the fight that Arum and Roach claimed Pac would dominate.

    he didn't have a history of being, frankly, a sore loser.

    - Socks/Shoes/Gloves vs Morales
    - Leg Cramps vs Marquez III

    I have never seen this guy just accept defeat and give his opponent the credit he deserves.
