    He said it himself that he had to run and lock him up but before hand Floyd was saying he was gonna trade with him why did he clinch and run against that past prime Pac?

    The moment he traded a little he got hurt see round 4 and 6 he got caught by shots when he threw at the same time as Pac.

    Because he's a thinking mans fighter. He doesn't let himself get knocked unconscious or kod by the likes of Torrecampo or Singsurat.

    You guys are missing the whole point. The reason is simple: Floyd lied. He had no intention of doing that, but he said it to foll the idiots who worshiped him. He always says sh*t like that, then turns in a snoozer. He couldn't even finish off a completely outclasses Baldomir when everyone booed him mid way through the fight.

    Fact is, Floyd "Trumped" his stupid fans.

    BTW, Manny Pac was not shot, as evident by his performances since. If one thinks Pac was shot, they really do not know what a shot fighter looks like.

    Because he's a defensive technician?
    Have you seen him fight before?

    Cowardice plain and simple. Floyd wouldn't even fight with a one armed fighter. Cotto and Bellew knocked their cripples out.

    Past prime is a far distance from being shot. And that's all Pac (And floyd when they fought) were, was past their prime. Saying Pac was shot when he fought Floyd is very disingenuous to the point of being a blatant lie.

    So you would agree he simply lied to his fans to help sell the fight?
