The official Mayweather vs. Pacquiao aftermath trash receptacle

Absolutely not. Floyd wanted to knockout Pacquiao. His team wanted him to, Floyd wanted to. He did everything necessary to make sure he could. The weight, the gloves, the conditioning. His team even said after the fight that the original plan was to knock Pac out and Floyd believed he would. However, I think Floyd realized pretty early in the fight that he couldn't take those kind of risks with a fighter like Pacquiao, so he decided to just play it safe. But carry? No no

 

I don't think damaging is the best word to use. There was only one right hand in Pac's career since coming to America that caused him to lose and that was Marquez's.

Mayweather beat him with the jab more than the right hand. Morales beat Pac the first time around with the jab, and so did Mayweather. Though the right hand did play part as well, but more so jab. Pacquiao couldn't nullify the distance and that was that. It wasn't so much the right hand. Mayweather threw the right hand here and there, but that jab...he threw that alllllll night! That was the key! Even if it didn't land as much as compubox wants you to believe, it still created the distance needed.

 

I agree,especially with all the practice he has had.:hey

 

Did Freddie even speak in the corner?

 

Just take easy points win why risk anything if it's not necessary .

 

I don't think so at all. Pacquioa was dangerous from the 1st to the 12th. He countered Floyd a few times and got his attention. Floyd sat down on some shots and he backed Pacquiao up. But, he was (wisely) fighting a cautious fight. Pac couldn't cut the ring off or really take advantage of opportunities where Floyd was on the ropes. Neither guy was getting stopped.

 

Even Mexican warrior like Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. thought Pac fought like a coward.

 

And Flo*mos will do anything to convince themselves that it was a blowout when it wasn't.

If you can't watch that documentary with an open mind, then you must be so in the tank for Floyd you can't see straight. Both sides have every right to argue their fighter won.

You know what it's like, it's like what Jim Lampley said around 4:15 in part 2/3 of that video. How Manny needs to do double what Floyd does, how he needs to throw 60 punches to Floyd's 30 to win a round. That is how heavily the deck is stacked against Floyd's opponents. In reality, Lampley never should have said that, it's a ridiculous thing to say in the middle of a fight!

It's not a knock on Floyd, he's earned that much in a big way by being undefeated and being so hard to hit. However, don't insult our intelligence by saying it was such a blowout when it wasn't. Floyd was hit enough in that fight to raise some eyebrows. I'm not going to go so far to say that Pacquiao won the fight, but it certainly wasn't the blowout that you say he is. Not only that, but Manny landed some solid punches, even some counters on Floyd that were highlighed in that video. Some even in slo-motion for all you idiots making fun of slo-mo as a tool for reviewing a fight.

Come on people, there is a lot of stuff in that video that do a great job of helping us understand what really happened on that night. It was a lot to digest at the time, but I really enjoyed that documentary, highlighting many of the things. Like Stephen A Smith saying all Manny was doing was swinging at air lol. Obviously he's swinging at more than air when he's landing flush on Floyd, even causing him to backup.

 

"Floyd is scared of southpaws" (Hes 9-0 against them)

"Floyd only faces flat flooted brawlers" (The same guys Pacqiauo made a career out of beating)

Floyd beats Pacqiauo "Pacqiauo won because his punches were more devastating" (yes all three/four of them).

"Pacqiauo won because of aggression" (lets just ignore who was the ring general and took centre of the ring for most of the fight)

"Floyd was running" (All the while Floyd is standing right in front of Pacqiauo jabbing his face off)

"Pacqiauo won on slow motion" (He only landed 81 punches in the whole fight, an average of about 7 (!) punches a round)

 

Brilliant post. Idiots scoring this fight 118-110 floyd dksab:deal

 

He was "running" towards the end of the fight. Rounds 11 and 12 mainly. FMJ was not engaging. I'm not saying he was running the entire fight, but at times he was truly running!

 

So what did Pacqiauo prepare for, for the past few months before the fight?

Maybe instead of accusing Floyd of everything under the sun, Pacqiauo should have acquired a few brain cells and actually studied his opponent and learnt to cut off the ring

 

There were moments that were interesting. Like when Manny did the flurry, but slowed down it clearly showed he was keeping his right tucked to his body and only throwing the left hand. Of course in real time I couldn't notice stuff like that because it's so fast. So, there were valid points made on the injury and compubox. However, the 2 and 3rd video became VERY biased against Floyd, IMO. It was hard to watch once the creator made known his bias because I couldn't take it that seriously after that. Still worth watching but definitely keep an open mind.

 

yeah Floyd is an atg at women beating. Monzon is the GOAT though

 

Yup. Sure that style is a complete turn off and upsets casuals, but it is so, so hard to beat.
