Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[b00g13man]

Headlock. Floyd used to make fun of MMA fighters, but here he is fully utilizing clinches.

WWE's finest boxer

He learnt that from his WWE stint. That's what makes him so great. I dare Manny to go up against The Big Show.

it was a watchable technical boxing match, but for the event/fight that it was, it was a disgrace and a joke.

I just have a very low opinion of the way both men fought. Floyd fought just to sc**** by, didn't press any action, knowing theres no way he was going to lose in Vegas on points.


Manny just didn't want it badly enough. He felt Floyds power and wasn't keen on it, and let Mayweather slip away stealing the rounds with his pot shots.

It was just a joke and summed up everything that is wrong with boxing. Neither man deserved a fcuking cent for the way they fought, yet they made the biggest purses of all time

Great post. I agree with everything except the part that manny didnt want it badly enough. I believe he did he performed above and beyond a one handed fighter can deliver that night. With one effective hand he did what he could. That said, everything wrong that can happen to boxing in the biggest stage happened that night. No one won that night and a big black eye for boxing.

There must be a bill made that having close to 200 million dollars in prize money, the said boxer has an obligation to perform with the mind set of being a real fighter in the ring and not a fighter who just wants to survive and win on points.

Usually when you have two upper echelon fighters, the more tactical and "boring" the fight looks to casuals. Same thing happened with Mayweather De La Hoya. If you understand and appreciate the art of boxing, it was a decent fight.

Excellent Post, true boxing fans appreciate the art of boxing. Unfortunately around here you gotta learn real quick to tell the difference between boxing fans and *******s.

Truth is Pacquiao is a true warrior and champion who just wasn't the better man that night. True boxing fans can respect that but if you're just a fan of one man who happens to box it's been very tough to handle.

I agree, it was a very tactical fight and Pacquiao was setting traps or Mayweather too. For years a lot of boxing purists had predicted exactly the result and type of fight we'd see. Watching Pacquiao over the last 4 or 5 years he's really grown as a boxer and increased his skill. So while not at his physical peak, Pacquiao is definitely at his mental peak when it comes to being a boxer.

So he stood back an boxed with Mayweather because that's all that he could do. It was enjoyable to watch for me, although it was no slug fest.

Dont fool yourself. Floyd used dirty unsportmanlike tactics coz his skill was limited. Pac performed with all he can muster with one effective hand. That one was pure skill. Floyd's was cowardly and in no shape or form was it attributed to skill. Running, hugging and pot shotting does bot belong to upper echelon super fights. Real atg super fights shows brovado and skill working side by side. Floyd ran away with 200 million and performed like a ***** running from a one handed fighter. It is what it is.. And he got booed to death for it. He didnt deserve a cent of that 200 million he got. Pac showed heart and skill, floyd showed how to be a vagina. Huge difference.

Great post here. Manny has never been smarter in the ring. He out-countered the counter puncher. He landed the cleaner, harder punches as well. Floyd bought the testing agency, ref, and judges. He said it would be an exciting fight. He said he would walk Manny down and punish him to the body. Did he even attempt to do any of that? Manny didn't have to throw 800-1000 punches at Floyd. Why? Because he is as skilled as Floyd. This is what fooled the people, the commentators, and the judges. They underestimated Manny's ring IQ. With two good hands, he might stop Floyd!
