    I don't support Trump or his ridiculous antics lmao

    And Manny and Trump are good comparisons actually with how they bull****. Alternative fact. Saltwater heals a torn rotator cuff.

    It's very simple.

    Floyd said for ages before the fight he was a much bigger man and he would show how much bigger and superior he was by walking down the little man and KO'ing him with ease, even going as far as to change his training for KO power. Now as others pointed out, he started off well and Pac started a little slow, but when Pac warmed up and Floyd did trade, he got countered badly and miss, then hurt and knew then his only chance was to high tail it around the ring and rely on the American judges to ensure a result.

    Pacquaio although physically so much smaller and shot was always too much for Floyd to go toe to toe with, no matter how people slice, no matter how much sugar they throw on top the reality is little shot Pac countered at will most of the time, pushed Floyd around the ring, hurt him and changed his gameplan.

    Pac only had 2 bursts throughout the whole fight. Movement and an early counter right in round 1 was all that was needed to make Manny a beat fighter.

    He is a coward that will never go toe-to-toe with any boxer.

    Floyds style is too multifaceted to put him into one boxing classification

    pac could not even MAKE IT A WAR, he could not cut off the ring like a good offensive fighter should.

    maybe he needs to take a page from marcos maidana, he did alot better v floyd

    maybe we should not take your opinion on these sorts of things seriously.. i mean you thought 2015 pac v 2015 floyd was going to end with a pac win, why else would you take the perm ban bet ;)

    hows the third world man ?

    Why didn't Lennox Lewis go toe to toe with tyson?
    Why did hopkins not go toe I toe with trinidad?

    Why would Floyd fight a scenario that gives Pac an advantage. Control your fight that you want. Floyd did this much better than Pac did.
