    The first time they fought... yes he was scared, and almost lost, which is why they had a rematch idiot.

    You love that word as if you're trying to drive a point. Wasn't Floyd scared of Pacquiao too for SIX YEARS? Or is that your misunderstood sarcasm :rofl:rofl:rofl What a clown.

    The only reason Floyd didn't land a counter there is because Manny was on his foot...:lol:

    That gif is funny, but in "fairness" to Pacquiao, he took like 5-6 punches in the first 10-15 seconds of the round, and was badly toyed the entire round.

    Cut the **** his whole style is build around him being a punk ass b**** who's doesn't want to be caught flush, he always has visions of Judah, Corley and Mosley dancing in his head. He fights scared, and he fought scared last night, that's why he ran like hell the whole match. Ward and Bhop don't run they outsmart fighters in close true sweet scientists and far more skilled than Floyd will ever be, Floyd and Rigo do it out of necessity because they have glass jaws they're protecting and you know it.

    GO EDUCATE YOURSELF son. You're acting like a tool just because your idol lost and I'm referencing your stupid posts of the past few days. Carl Froch said it eloquently, "one-sided ass whooping." I think he knows a little more about the sport and courage than you.

    That gif makes me feel sorry for Manny. It's crazy how Floyd can make fighters fight at his pace without them even realizing it.

    Even the biggest cheerleader out there Jim bang bang lampley, was talking about how Floyd was toying with him.

    I've read enough of your posts over the years to know you're an intelligent poster. I can't imagine you're being serious with this post?

    Would it be nice if he was an action packed fighter who went for the kill against his opponents everytime he gets them stunned? Absolutely, and it would do wonders for his overall popularity and the way he's viewed by some of his detractors. But I'm sure you know he used to fight like that for a good part of his career.

    But it's foolish to expect a master boxer to leave himself susceptible to getting caught flushed as he now fights exclusively 4 and 5 weightclasses from where he originally started. He took many more chances when he was young and in his prime, and I have no problem with him putting a heavy emphasis on his defense and playing things cautiously at his advanced age against guys who usually outweigh him by 10 + pound son fight night.

    He fights in the same manner as ATG fighters such as Pep and Whitaker. he's much closer to their philosophy on how to win a fight than say someone like Leonard or Robinson. I just don't see any reason for knocking him for it.

    floyd fans couldnt even find a counter landed by the best counter puncher accd to them.


    floyd was so scared he was faking his counters and wont commit to them.

    not one counter landed. you can count in one hand counters thrown.

    this from the supposedly bigger, stronger, faster juiced up who is the best all time best counter puncher.

    NOT 1 LANDED. NOT 1 THROWN WITH INTENT. nothing of note i seen.


    but hey, lets score those pitty patc punches floyd threw.

    hell, garcia got away with punching the air.

    vegas "easy work".
