Comments Thread For: Froch: Was Mayweather That Good or Pacquiao That Poor?

[Jc8804]

Floyd was on the memo shakes for real.
Manny looked like dog shht. No heart,no motivation and I heard he had a injured shoulder he couldn't get a shot for. And that damn ring was parking lot at 26x26.

Nsac needs to have regular 20x20 rings for welters. That was garbage.

I agree , Pac didn't do so bad , Floyd kept him at the end of his jab for most of the fight, controlling distance and side stepping every time Pac tried to force his way in.

Pac simply couldn't get in punching range, cutting off the ring is not his style, he likes to ambush , but Floyd is a veteran and didn't fall for Manny's traps often.

Punching more without getting into mid range would have been suicidal for Pac imo, Floyd would have potshotted the hell out of Manny on the outside, being the better boxer and having a substantial reach advantage.

Maidana is much bigger than Manny, and went for mauling at cost of smothering his own work. That wasn't an option for Pac, so the comparison is useless imo.

Overally a rather good fight, as it is often the case in big fights tension played a factor

Good post. That's pretty much how I saw it.

If I was fighting for that much money I would have fought harder.

I thought both look like *s*h*i*t * with pac looking worse, was not impressed

He displayed zero footwork whatsoever the entire fight. He fought flat footed and straight forward the whole fight. I don't know if he was out of shape or just old, but he didn't fight on his toes bouncing and throwing from angles like the Pac of old. He became some straight forward plodder last night, looked horrible!

Footwork.....Pac has bad footwork compared to May, so he was chasing instead of cutting off the ring....that simple

Floyd looked the same.... He didnt look young, pacquia is just a washed up congressman, thats all. Floyd just beat the name manny, not the fighter. This fight was a disgrace to boxing and boxing fans but u know how fanboys are gonna love this win regardless. They will probably say this was a prime undefeated pacquiao in their eyes. Its a shame we didnt get this fight in 2010. We were robbed of the real fight and ppl spent their money on this **** fight.... I fell asleep by the 8th round no joke

I know such a shame we was robbed of this fight in 2010 because manny didn't wanna take the test stop crying get over it a better version of Floyd in 2010 would still have same outcome on better version of manny he just not the complete boxer Floyd is if you not coming forward so manny can hit you he avg at best better then other ww but not on level of floyd

I guessed you missed all that Marquez acne on pacman back his team didn't fillout out right stuff on form or disclose injury on form to get shot and ring was 20

I scored this fight 7 to 5 for Mayweather. Pac won more rounds against him than any other Mayweather opponent and should have won more rounds on the cards based on being the aggressor and throwing more. He also hurt Floyd more than Floyd did him during the fight. But ultimately Floyd kept him at bay and controlled the fight. Who knows if the shoulder really was a factor here, but credit to Floyd.
