He would have deserved the credit but a large and disingenuous cross section of fans (the same ones that complain and obsess about him now) would have found a way to downplay even knowing full well that it was creditable. That is the sort of irrational, logic-bending hatred Mayweather inspires.
Than man came back and fought pound for pound ranked Mosley and Marquez and they called them cherry pics. There would have been an excuse no matter what. Also we would have known what would have taken place had Team Pacquiao not walked away. People act like Floyd hasn't aged and slowed down from 2010. He would have boxed circles around Manny, who still would have had trouble cutting the ring off, range, lack of jab and inside fighting. After the fight Manny and company would have had an excuse as well.
Listen i am a fan of both fighters but i would have given floyd far more credit in beating that manny when the fight really mattered The world demanded for mayweather to step up at that crucial time but he opted not to fight the number 1 p4p fighter. He fought him after he slowed down(he himself said on vids commenting how slow and bad pac looked in the bradley rematch)
The world demanded the fight, but Manny ducked the drug testing and signed to fight Clottey. So Pac slowed down, while Floyd was prime and as fast as ever at 38 right??:nut
How dare you speak facts on here and logic. Lmao It's shameful how people don't hold Manny responsible for his part in the fight not happening back then. Manny walks away from fight, its Floyd fault for requesting additional testing. Manny don't let his hands go and throw 100 punches per round, no blazing in and out or 20 punch combinations. Oh it's Floyd's fault. No shot for Manny in his shoulder bc he signed that he had no injuries, Floyd's fault bc he controls the NSAC. Hilarious
Lol pac agreed to testing, and arum & co presented the idea that fighters pay multi million $ penalties should they fail any drug testing. It was mayweather and tmt that then didnt want to know. Fraud fluid is a duck and a cheat. TUE!
Yet pac still landed more of the cleaner harder effective punches, compared to touchy taps from floyd. And floyd signed no injuries too but entitled to unlimited quantities of xylocaine and peds with the 750ml saline vitamin and special retroactive TUEs special package deal for merely being dehydrated.
So you have no recollection of Freddie Roach repeatedly stating Floyd's legs are gone, basically waiting for FLoyd to slow down so that his fighter might have a chance for victory
Marquez and Mosley were #2 and #3 p4p and they got called cherrypicks, so #48, being so small, tiny, and fragile (according to his fans) would of certainly been called a Cherry! Just like every other opponent Floyd has faced the past 5 years!
Kid Manny landing no more harder shots than Floyd. Hell Floyd landed two good right hands in the first round. Manny didn't land anything hard until the 4th. He lost and no amount of slow motion is going to change it. By the way you should download Juveniles Slow Motion song. The Filipino women will love that. Just tell them its for Manny.
IV believe froid touch and hug pac to victory. There's no chance for pac to win, froid is the best eva!! :bbb TMT!! Hardwork!! Medication!! :hat
