Why do these holyfield articles on May/pac keep being recycled?? Who cares what holyfield thinks...He thought he beat Lewis in the first fight ffs!atsch

If you think Pac beat Floyd then you must believe Timothy Bradley won both fights against Manny easy

Do you really trust punch stat accuracy? All that's happening is a guy is visually guessing on-the-fly as to whether a punch lands.

So lets get this straight. You are actually claiming that the punch stat guys, AND the 3 official judges all have worse eyesight than you, and every other Pacturd, when they " guessed " that Pac's blocked punches didn't score?

Few days ago before the fight,Roach already hinted Pac's right side problem. But no one noticed.

Manny Pacquiao could beat Floyd Mayweather with one arm behind his back

So you are basing your conspiracy theory on a cliche that has been used for hundreds of years? Tell me this is the first time you heard someone say "I can beat you with one arm behind my back before". You never said that to anyone before?
What if Roach said "He can run but he can't hide" would you say Roach knew that Mayweather was going to run here and there? That he could see into the futere.lol

How often do fighters get credit after any win?. Even when they almost do, excuses are all over the place. I've been supporting both Mayweather and Pacquiao since 2003 and among fans in general, Mayweather is rarely(if ever) given credit for any win or fight.

"Mayweather won't win, because from what I've seen, boxing doesn't want nobody to get out [of the sport] undefeated."'

Maybe he didn't want Mayweather to win?

best case scenario I can come up with is Pacquiao losing 9-3. 10-2 is more accurate. He didn't throw or land enough punches to give him rounds. It is a very easy fight to score if you are objective. You can't win a fight on a Decision when you only land 81 punches. That isn't even 7 punches a round :rofl

Well you know Manny was injuredatsch:rofl
Floyd shut his down and if you give Manny more than 3 rounds it's because you just HATE Floyd of DKSAB:deal

I have watched the fight together with 3 friends, all of us boxing experts, and all of us scoring the fight round by round. We're neither US citizens or Filipinos, and neither fans of Pacquiao or Floyd either. 3 of us (including me) had Pacquiao winning it by the slightest of margins (1 single point, with 1 round even), and one had Mayweather ahead by 1 round. It was certainly a difficult fight to score because there were many close rounds, I guess this is a fight that could have gone either way, depending on how you score fights. The official scorecards were ridiculous - the only explanation for these cards can be that all the close rounds were automatically scored for Mayweather. Still, 118-110 seems biased.

But I can see very well why a lot of people scored it for Mayweather. This was clearly a 'Mayweather' fight, and not a Pacquiao type of fight. Mayweather imposed his style of fighting, he was in total control for large stretches of the fight and he kept it in the middle of the ring for the most part. There is, however, one important factor that takes away a lot from his performance: he totally neglected his offense. His defense was as effective as it possibly could be (it wasn't brilliant though, a lot of his defense consisted of holding and running, but it was undeniably effective), but where was the offense? I have never seen such a low punch output from Mayweather. You could clearly see that he was hesitant to throw, he was nervous (that's also why he wasn't as accurate as he used to when throwing), and, in lack of a better word, he was 'scared'. He was afraid to get countered by Pacquiao, whose handspeed matched his own. And at the same time, Mayweather didn't counter himself, like he usually does - the few punches he landed clearly were nearly all jabs and right hand leads. Boxing is about 'hit without getting hit', and Mayweather neglected the first in favour of the latter. How can you win rounds without throwing punches? An argument can be made that Mayweather won the fight based on his ring generalship though. On a side-note, Floyds legs looked fine and he definitely had the edge when it comes to foot-speed (especially when moving away from Pac).

Pacquiaos performance was very disappointing. Be it because of a shoulder injury or because he simply has slipped too much these last years, this was only a shadow of the Pacquaio of 5 years ago... he was never able to take control of the fight, he only had moments. You could clearly see that he tried, but his efforts were nullified by Mayweather (unfortunately too often by holding). At the end of the day however, Pacquiao didn't get hit much, simply because Mayweather didn't throw punches. And that is an important point. None of the two landed many clean shots, but I thought that Pacquiao still outworked and outhustled Mayweather in some rounds. Pacquiaos aggression wasn't effective, but when you've got two fighters who don't land punches, for whatever reason, the round should be scored in favour of the fighter who 'did more work', meaning who threw more. And in many rounds, that fighter was Pacquiao. Of course Pacquiao should still have done more, but maybe he did just enough to deserve the nod, or a draw.

I feel that, even though he officially won, Mayweather gave this fight away in a sense. I believe he showed that he is the better fighter, at any rate he is the much fresher fighter, and he could have won this in a dominant fashion - if he only wanted to. As it stands, he showed Pacquiao way too much respect and solely concentrated on his defense, bordering on going into survival mode at times. And there lies an argument why Pacquiao might have deserved the nod by a tiny little bit, despite an overall poor performance.

So are you saying his cuff was never torn and the dr. was lying?
Click to expand...

I'm saying that the injury wasn't as severe as they make it out to be. Yes it was partially torn, but it didn't inhibit him from performing in the fight

Corner also said nothing about the knee to Martinez against Cotto.

Doctor (third party) said to Dan Rafael (third party) that the injury was real and "significant."

The doctor in question is a regarded sports surgeon and would be non-partisan. It's not like Pac's personal doctor or something.

bull ****, Martinez's corner said before they stopped it that they have to stop the fight and that's Martinez's knee wasn't responding
