Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

Since when is it normal that a 40 year old gets chest acne?


Did he eat a bad fish taco? He hit ALVARADO so hard that he didn't know where he was.

"Naturàl doe"

Since when is it normal that a career featherweight boxer shatters orbital bones at light middleweight? Since when does a guy get physically stronger at 32 than he was at 22? You can name me all the greatest fighters of all time and absolutely NONE of them performed better at 32 than they did at 22. Pacquiao went from KO'ing four fighters in a row to not having a KO in six years after people started asking questions.

Yeah "he natural doe"

That same 40 year old, acne having lightweight who couldn't KO a shot Alvarado still had enough to KO Manny lol. Face it, athough Manny had freakish strength and speed in his "prime" he was never that good technically.

You can say the same thing for Floyd, he makes mistakes too. His chin is up in the air all the time when he leaps in with the lead right.He's just so fast and his reflexes are so good that he can get away with it. Pac is just as fast with good timing and he can counter with power from awkward angles.

I agree. Floyd has flaws and is no SRL. He does amateurish things, like drop his hands and pull straight back. His punch output is a weakness as well. Cotto was popping him with jabs when he dropped his hands. Maidana did as well. Manny is going to show how great Floyd isn't on May 2nd. Changing the way he trains, hiring Ariza, etc., will not help him over night.

this is incredibly normal

most people are stronger in their early 30's compared to their early 20's, aslong as they've kept fit

No its not, not really. Not to the point where you have the ability to shatter a mans face when you were previously going life and death with featherweights.

Have ya'll read the tags of this thread? Just wondering.

If he makes every possible prediction, after the fight he can go back and say he called it no matter what happens.

I'm predicting a decision win for PAC. Any other result means I was wrong.

Let's do an avi and sig bet

Yup, they are so dead on.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Yup, they are so dead on.

They are? How so? Help me to understand exactly how they are so spot on. Its been a while since I've paid much attention to NSB, let alone be bothered to post in the Floyd/Pac master thread. Thanks in advance.

He almost always rolls the shoulder after doing it, ducks under it, or makes some kind of defensive move whether it be a crossblock with the left hand or a clinch. I've never seen him leap in and do absolutely nothing afterwards. His definition of a safe move with his defense is different than average. Context please.

I disagree, a man's prime is usually in their late 20's and early 30's. Furthermore, Pacquiao's Strength and Conditioning has increased and improved tremendously as he was introduced to 1st class sports science, nutrition and conditioning. You have to remember his conditioning, diet, supplements are all antiquated when he was just an upcoming fighter in the Philippines.
