    It’s the same fight it would have been at any point in their careers. Manny, and in fairness no one in his generation, could solve that puzzle. Floyd’s chin is what took him from great to all time great...you aren’t out boxing him, but you aren’t stopping him either, so what’s the plan? Exactly...there really isn’t one.

    proportionately Floyd would have been better as well.

    Personally watching it live from my prospective it looked like Floyd caught Manny with a hard hook or straight in round 2 maybe and after that it seemed Manny mailed it in and opted to try and box instead of making a fight of it. Was disappointed in Manny’s effort but very few fighters have been able to make Mayweather get out of 1st gear and Manny lol a lot of other grays simply wasn’t one of them. Had the fight 10-2/9-3ish in a fairly easy fight.

    I remembered thinking "This is going to be the fight that drives fight fans to MMA".

    Dehydration my foot ROFLMAO That ILLEGAL EXCESSIVE 750 ml of saline he accepted in his own home was to flush the remaining Ped's out of his system. He got careless got caught but it was OK Uncle Bob & the NSAC covered his cheating ass. or tried to LOL They just made him look even more guilty
    Oh & BTW Ask any medical person with knowledge of dehydration what condition he would be in to need 750 ml in that short space of time for dehydration?? They'd tell you " He'd be in ICU while they fought to save his kidneys " Tell that Medical person that he was running round a boxing ring for 12x3 min rounds & he'd LAUGH at you. Are you REALLY that naive or are you just plain dumb??

    Yeah I agree, but I still think that Manny was further from prime than Floyd was (he was still good though) and it would have been a much better, tougher and dangerous fight.

    I remember thinking this is how I saw it played out before hand. I was always Floyd>Pac even back in the mid to late 2000’s when talk of the 2 heated up the first time.

    They ****ed us for five years with that bull****. By the time it happened I didn't care. I'd sworn not to watch another Mayweather fight two years prior and I still haven't.

    Holy ****. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally still in shock from the Pacquiao Mayweather result. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the ****ing **** did he lose? This can't be happening. I'm having a ****ing breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Fury to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot ****ing deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was scoring well by the judges???? This is so ****ed.
