He fought David Diaz. After the fight Diaz visits a plastic surgeon to correct facial damage sustained. Then he fights DLH. After an 8 round beatdown DLH checks into hospital for precautionary purposes. Then he fights Ricky Hatton. Pac knocks him out cold and Hatton checks into hospital to undergo checks on his heart. Then he fights Cotto. More of the same except being bigger and stronger than the others Cotto sustained the most prolonged and brutal of the beatdowns. He ended up staying in the ICU. Then there was Antonio Margarito. His face tells you everything you need to know about that fight. And another trip to the hospital. To me Pac is the GOAT modern fighter after that amount of destruction against bigger men.
Watch his fights at 130lb. All everyone could talk about back then was that may the weight is too big for him and that he's not ktfo fighters with one shot as he used to.
all these guys went to hospital, but do you know where floyd went after the pacquiao fight? mcdonald's.
It’s what happens when you run and hug your opponent all fight. He ran and hugged like he never did before. His own daddy told him to stop fighting like a *****. Not my words, his dad and coach. This content is protected No man getting called out by his daddy and coach for fighting scared is “winning” anything.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? Is it intentional? Because a blind man can tell the difference between the prime version of Pac and the version that Mayweather "fought".
Not Floyd. no man called for running scared by his coach and daddy is “winning” anything. Oh you mean what the judges said? Ok, if they were scoring wwe or dancing with the stars.
Floyd was winning the rounds, by doing the bare minimum. That is most likely why Sr. was upset with him. Also, are you trying to say that Pacquiao got robbed that night?
Who was scared of a needle? Who needed a cut to heal? Who needed to build an outdoor arena? (I actually think Floyd was using PED´s in his later career)
I’m saying that judging can be very arbitrary. Judges scored against Oscar for fighting like a ***** vs Tito. Floyd fought more scared than that. Ran and hugged for his life. Deduct a point for every illegal move, bending below the waist, hugging (not boxing) and Floyd would be -100 points.
Pac never said he was scared of needles. That's a lie and statement that never came from Pac. But you can try Googling. That was a very gnarly cut. For the Fight of the Century, it wasn't unreasonable. The outdoor arena wasn't a crazy idea. They did it for Joshua-Ruiz in under 2 months. Arum wanted to maximize attendance while keeping the fight in Vegas. But Floyd low-balled with a $40 million flat fee, came up with a dozen reasons why he didn't need Pac, said Pac had to leave his promoter for the fight to happen. But again... Who talked all that smack and ended up being the one who was caught using illegal IV fluids?
