    Yet the size thing was never brought up for years before the fight was made. All we heard is PBF is a ducker he's a coward Pac will knock him out Pac will overwhelm PBF with power speed angles and workrate. Blah!!! Blah!!! Blah!!! Well WTF happened to all that nonsense when the 2 got in the ring and PBF basically made him look amateurish. Pac isn't as skilled as PBF he's not as good again there's nothing wrong with that because no fighter of that era was as good as PBF. There's nothing wrong with being second best you're still a ATG, Pac fans and PBF haters need to realize this.

    I doubt Manny Pacquiao’s PR team phoned him to discuss their planned tweets.

    I’m certain he leaves them to it.

    Does it matter when it was brought up? Its either true or it ain't. You can argue it ain't, but you won't get very far.

    Yeah it matters because it's after the fact and is now being used as an excuse, just take your loss and move on. Not only that Pac beat bigger fighters than PBF. These same guys who now all of a sudden claim Pac was too small for PBF are the same ones for years talked **** non stop and claimed Pac would knock PBF out and destroy him. Don't go back and try and change the narrative now because the fight didn't play out like you wanted it to. That's weak and people like me won't allow them to get away with it.

    The difference is Manny is back on top and Floyd fought him once but Manny has a whole career of legendary fights, much better than Floyd's career. He beat Manny head to head when Manny was older but one fight does not make a career. Who argues that Floyd is really greater than Manny now? Manny has been in real fights. Floyd had a great career and great style and he picked at the right time and is undefeated. That was his goal. And I think Floyd felt he could handpick in 2015 was it and he won? When they fought, and this was after JMM and Manny was getting older and Floyd won. He won legit, but that does not make him greater and it frustrates him and he knows it. If he wanted Manny's career he should have put the same passion into boxing as Manny did and fought as many top guys as Manny did at the right time. He is trying to convince people that he beat Manny and that should be enough to be as great as Manny, but he isn't. JMM knocked out Manny before Floyd fought him. Floyd is going to try and keep the talk up of how he beat him easily to use Manny position now to build himself up. Manny is on top now. He came back again and again. Manny outlasted Floyd and Floyd is feeling insecure.

    Which part was skill? Illegally bending below the waist? Running? Hugging?

    Take away his ability to hug and bend below the waist as both are illegal, his iv, his hand injections since Pac wasn’t allowed shoulder injections and Pac destroys him.

    Another thing, he didn’t fight Pac, and he didn’t “beat” him, that requires hurting him and the only one hurt in that fight was floyd. Some judges gave him more points, which is extremely subjective considering in another era he would have lost 12-0 from all that running and hugging he did. Heck khan lost 2 points for hugging and he did far less of that than Floyd did. Floyd ran so much his daddy had to ask him why is he fighting so scared.

    Exactly, Floyd also didn't feel as confident as his fans did in his victory or he wouldn't have made the following comment

    I owe the public an entertaining victory because of how that fight with Pacquiao ended.

    Floyd's dad was correct, he fought scared. He had no problem walking straight to a guy who never had a professional boxing match but he had no interest in bringing it like that when it came time to fight Pacquiao.

    How about controlling range and dictating distance on his ass and not even having to get out of 1st gear. How about being first and countering Pac when he came in. How about frustrating Pac outworking him and reducing Pac's workrate to a career low punch out put and making Pac fight his fight. You're bitter I get it, but that doesn't mean you throw away facts because your god simply wasn't good enough to beat PBF, he never was. It's not my fault you were sold a false bill of goods and put all your stock into Pac beating PBF only to go home heartbroken and bitter.

    Wishful thinking like this does nothing for you. When will you realize this? Maidana gave PBF a harder fight than Pac did let that sink in.

    Actually, Roach was recently on the record at ESPN saying it was "dodgy" since they both submitted the same papers but Floyd's Lidocaine shot got approved while theirs didn't, and he was speculating that Floyd called the shots somewhere for this to happen. I mean Floyd's team admitted they know Pac was injured during camp, so.

    Manny was older and had a much tougher career than Floyd.. Age is not about numbers as much as wear and tear. Which is why what Manny did on Sat. was incredible. Manny was in wars and fought Margarito, Cotto, Hatton, Delahoya and beat him better than Floyd. Shane, Broner, Thurman, JMM, etc etc etc. Rios.. The list goes on and on. He is a greater fighter and a warrior. Floyd was not a warrior.

    Answer the questions,
    Why did Floyd tell little Floyd that he was fighting scared and why did Floyd make the following comment,
    “I told them that I owe them for the Pacquiao fight”

    What does that mean exactly?
