    Floyd has thin legs. Look at Manny's calves and thigh muscles in the weigh in and that's when they are not hydrated. Manny's upper body is visibly thicker than Floyd's. You guys brought up Manny's wrists which are the size of a heavyweight. He's not small in the way we think of short men.

    Pac's defense against a straight out brawler is output, that has always worked to perfection for him...there was absolutely no reason to have changed that unless he just couldn't produce for whatever reason...none. But whatever, I'm sure you'll reason away whatever I say say so I'm done.

    He sort of did. Re-watch that interview carefully. Max had a way about going it where he really seemed to want to call out Pacquiao. Why do that? The tone he used, the words he used, the expressions he used were obviously trying to give Pac a hard time. What exactly did Pac say that offended anyone? That he felt he won? Well, Holyfield and Mosely felt Pac won? Is it that crazy to think you had won a fight where the opponent is running and throwing baby jabs at you? an opponent you are constantly having to chase down, an opponent that never hurt you? is it that crazy?

    again, you are justing fooling yourself, refusing to retract your earlier statements.

    Pac looked extremely fits nd strong during that fight vs Rios. He looked like he could go for 24 rounds. Robert Garcia later said he thought Pacquiao was in great great great shape. He wasn't 30 anymore though.

    in any event, i find it totally hilarious how you all bring up PEDS and totally ignore the enemy we can't fight - AGE. F Pacquiao wash;t 28 or 32 when he fought rios, bradley 2, algieri... jesus. No, it can;t be age, it's ONLY PEDS... F you guys are so ridiculous that if Pac fighting at 50 throws 300 punches you will find some reason to prove it's because he's not using PEDS anymore.

    BS. Kellerman has never treated Pac that way before. Kellerman had every right to ask him tough questions when Pac says I thought I won and not give any credit to his opponent. You should be attacking Pac not Max.

    I'm not saying Pac's comments were the best but Max didn't have to come down on him like he did. How about 'Pac, i know this is a tough loss but do you really think you won?' and then move on... let him be. It was a tough loss. Max just kept harping on it, wanting to show the world that Max kellerman is a tough guy etc... was kinda dumb. No point in discussing this further, difference of opinion. If you haven't noticed, Max has taken a lot of heat about this, for a reason.

    I called it FIVE YEARS ago. There was no reason that fight could not be made if Pac subjected to testing. I said the same of Mosley when he fought Floyd that Shane would turn old overnight with testing. Other than a rough early round, Floyd dominated him too.

    Manny was being a sore loser. Max was right to check him. Mr. "God will deliber him into my hands", had nothing to say about God after the fight, and gave no credit to the better boxer. That's the effect Mayweather has on these guys though. They think they are gonna get in there and just manhandle this guy, since he's not a huge puncher and mostly defensive. Then they get in there, get countered hard a few times, can't touch the guy, feel his strength in the clinches and they start trying to play chess. He makes them fight HIS fight. Pacquiao is just another victim. Roach couldn't say anything to help him either. Shame...

    if you think fight didn't happen just because of this, you are being dumb. Do your research... Pacquiao did agree to it later and Floyd didn't accept it. All pacquuiao wanted is not to get tested too soon to fight night; at that point, Floyd dropped it

    Three pages of butt hurt over a one trick pony......put him in with another face first brawler with no defense with feet stuck in concrete, dragged up from 135 or 140 and you idiots will scream "he is back"

    Newsflash.......May will beat him 10 out of 10. PED's or not.

    You aint gonna go life and death with Marquez, the Mexican brawler with a chin for four times and expect to beat Mayweather, never going to happen.

    You fools saw on Saturday why the fight was stalled by Roach/Arum/Team Pac
    for six years.........they always knew until cash out time that he would be lost in the woods facing Mayweather. Fact

    it seems every floyd fight has controversy. although it always involved big money so it's normal to be scrutinized. a lot of abnormal things from both camps. and the paying public just want to get their money's worth and belief that boxing is still legitimate especially with fighters that they recognized as atg's. otherwise, it's like wrestling that fans abandoned when found out scripted.

    it was fixed commentators were on floyds nuts punch stats where incorrect there was one round when floyd landed 3 punches and punch stats claimed 13.

    also when paq partly blocked floyds punches commentators would go nice right hand and when paq landed fury of 5 punches they would say none of punches landed although 2 punches clearly landed.

    it was close fight 7-5 either way!
