    LOL! Exactly! It's much easier to be magnanimous in victory ffs. What has Pacquiao had to say after his victories?

    If you're going to compare then it should be in the same circumstances i.e. Floyd's behaviour when he wins compared to Manny's behaviour when he wins or Floyd's behaviour when he loses compared to Manny's when he loses

    Pacquiao was too scared of getting countered by a right hand.

    Void beats up women! Plus, the Nevada Boxing commission promised Pac that he could have a pain shot, Pac was going to pull out of the fight and get his shoulder fixed first, but they promised, then right before the fight, the boxing commission refused to allow Pac a pain shot, but they allowed Void to have his pain shots! What about Void's IV?

    Whether or not Floyd ran or hugged Pac for the full 12 rounds isn't really the topic of debate here; it's mainly about how Manny Pacqiuao comported himself in his post-fight interview. To put it at it's bluntest, he embarrassed himself more than Floyd Mayweather Jr or Juan Manuel Marquez ever could. :sisi1

    To hammer home the point: watch the video, and look at Max Kellerman's expression of disbelief when Manny tells Kellerman he thought he beat Floyd. :lol:

    We don't know how Floyd would react to losing in such a huge event. Especially if speaking in a second language. Most guys don't react well in such situations.

    Floyd (and most humans) hasn't reacted perfectly in every situations. I think everyone should be cut some slack in high pressure situations. I mean come on, be realistic.

    Apparently the injury was from water skiing in 2008. Yes. Water skiing in 2008.

    So, yeah, he did get shoulder surgery, a cleanup, just to keep up the ruse.

    Has Floyd ever kept ragging on a fighter after he beats them? Usually nothing but props. He has talked some sh*t to ol' Connie Boy recently but I think that's just to keep in the headlines with the whole UFC cage videos he posted and all that nonsense. Oh, I guess he never really let up on Oscar, haha.

    I think a lot of the stuff with Oscar stems from the build-up to their fight when Floyd, got in Oscar's head with some of his behaviour and totally bewildered Oscar. It made me chuckle when Oscar castigated Floyd for agreeing to fight McGregor when it later emerged that Oscar was trying to make Canelo vs McGregor. :lol:

    I honestly can't think of any others. He left Gatti alone after destroying him, and I'm pretty sure he left Mosley alone after ripping him to shreds on 24/7 and widely outpointing him. For the most part though, he does give opponents their props, sets aside any pre-fight animosity and moves on.

    It's not like the fight was even that close, though: most sensible people gave Pacquiao four rounds, tops. That -- coupled with Pacquiao's post-fight assertion that he thought he won -- are what most people are gobsmacked by.

    Floyd Mayweather is a scumbag. He does not show sportsmanship, he may read off his scripted sheet in the ring with the microphone in his face but within a day he has been rude to his opponants on social media. He has also paved the way for other fighters and promoters to follow his way of cherry picking and ducking and waiting for fighters to fade because he got away with it. Like he gets away with sucker punching opponents, sucker punching women and breaking the laws of the sport with illegal injections, and getting away with that too even though he was caught red handed. I find him to be one of the biggest cancers in the sport.

    Thats true but when alot of people thought he lost to castillo he offered an immediate rematch where ALOT of fighters simply would not have.

    Thats about the closest i can come to giving an example of may losing and showing good sportsmanship

    Floyd Mayweather is the greatest. He is, and always has been better then Pacquiao..i dont care what the haters think, its just my opinion just like you entitled to yours.
    Its funny because you rarely hear about the good things Mayweather has done in life. That man has made several people millionaires.

    He has made plenty of mistakes in life, just never in the ring!!!!!!

    50-0. Living legend. G.O A.T. Wont ever get the respect he well and truly deserves
