    If Manny landed 148 punched and Floyd landed 81 wouldn't it be considered a good fight.

    Sounds like it would be considered one sided.

    Yes, if it were the other way around, people would be satisfied, ignore Floyd's injuries, call him a fraud and move on.

    It would go down as an all time great fight and a historic upset in a career full of upsets. Pacman gets elevated to Ali status.

    So sick of seeing idiots on Facebook who have just watched boxing for the 4th time in their life proclaim to be experts, it's exhausting. I have to come on here to gain some sanity back...and then up pops boxing_master and his alts :lol:

    "Edillor said the MRI showed the tear is not only on one of either ligament, tendon and muscle but to all of those."

    No. :lol:
    That's hardly any punches whoever throws and lands them. Makes no difference.

    Ok ... I guess in theory, if they are brutal punches.
    I mean, it could mean 5 knockdowns each or something. That would be a good fight.

    And that's nobody's fault but his. Know why? Because #noexcuses, that's why!

    Didn't I tell you #noexcuses before the fight? Didn't I tell you? And you didn't listen.

    People expected to see a classic where the aggressor makes the defensive boxer fight. These kind of fights do make a classic, but Pacquiao just wasn't good enough on the night to make Floyd dig deep, so in the end Floyd won an easy fight. **** happens.

    well in fairness he was fighting with only one arm. Imagine what he coulda done with both arms...
