Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Said Years Ago, Fans Would Call it Boring

[jas]

I recall mayweather jr saying "what about my health" which suggests that if he fought back then, he would have engaged more

Also, many of his hardcore fans on this forum said he will walk PAC down and possibly ko him. Same guys that are now defending what was a crap fight and bad for boxing

[-PBP-]

he also said that he wouldnt fight pacquiao back then cos pacquiao was punching too hard...

Did he say that? Wow what a horrible individual. Someone should knock his ass out.

100% true , children and casual fans find great boxers boring but the trainers and fighters understand how truly great they are .

Manny couldnt do anything because Floyd was too good and people need to understand the skill required to do what Floyd does because he has done it to all comers , lets see GGG do what he does to the equivalent to Manny Oscar Canelo Mosley etc , GGG is bombing out B grade fighters and causal fans love that because they can understand it , Floyd is so skilled the average fan cant comprehend what he does .

they understand that's why he's the highest paid athlete in the world

lol exactly.

Floyd fans are gloating over a post KTFO Pac, most on here would have laughed at the notion of the fight happening in 2013 not it's the GOAT win..

It's all about timing and they know it. I've read posts from doctor tenma about how they thought it was 50/50 back in 09/10 but Pac's now declining so they're happy to see it what a bunch of gays.

1. Mayweather is a great borer, not boxer.

2. The Fight of the Century turned out to be The Flight of the Century.

3. Manny was invading all the while Floyd was evading.

3. There was no clash of titans, only a clash of styles. One was to dance, the other was to pounce.

4. Mayweather won by disengaging, not engaging.

5. It was a clash of wills. One willed to fight, the other willed to flee.

6. It "was anything but a thriller". I say it was a chiller.

7. I outboxed him," Floyd said. No, Floyd, you outfoxed him.

8. It doesn't matter if the judges stole the fight from Manny Pacquiao. It wasn't a fight. Pacquiao didn't lose a fight ***8211; there was none.

9. You call evasive tactics science prevailing in the boxing ring? No wonder Floyd Mayweather has been undefeated ***8211; he has not been fighting, only frustrating his opponents. He is not a great fighter; he is a great flighter.

10. How can there be a rematch when there was no match in the first place?

11. I outboxed him," Mayweather said. "He never figured out my jab and my right hand." No, Floyd, Manny never figured out your evasive tactics. He was no Luke Skywalker to your Darth Evader.

People got mad at Canelo for trying to box Mayweather but that's exactly what Pacquiao was trying to do for the most part. On top of that when Mayweather was comfortably ahead, Pacquiao decided that he wasn't gonna push the issue. It's pretty obvious Pac was to blame.

Good points but noone was really "to blame".

The fight played out how it was going to in order for Mayweather to win. Pacquaioi was unwilling to try, and unable to actually do, what he needed to do to win.

From that first stiff right hand through the middle in the first minute of round one that brought the memories of the JMM KO flooding back to Manny it was obvious Floyd had his number.

i actually still have pac over mayweather in terms of legacy. Mayweather just doesnt have the mentality to be great. he doesnt dare to be great.

He is just contented with boring performances. He can retire undefeated and no one will care. that's the truth. He thinks he is TBE but hardly throws combination.

Boxing should be about putting some hurt to your opponent but with floyd it now becomes putting hurt to the eyes of the viewers

You can have whatever you want. Your impressed with a bunch of catchweights? Any respected fan of boxing knows Mayweather ahead in legacy.

I remember I used to play Fight Night Round 3 online. Some guys would pick Whitaker and fight similar to Floyd, counter you and then get out of the way. You would chase them and the same thing would happen. It was so frustrating because you couldn't do **** against it (at least I couldn't)

I imagine the same holds true for Pacquiao fans/Mayweather haters. His style is frustrating to watch because the guy you're rooting for can't do **** against it. So what do they do? They have to talk bad about the style even though it's effective. "fight like a man! stop running! stand still so I can hit you!" If everyone could fight like that at the elite level they would.

When I think about it this way I understand Pacquiao fans/Mayweather haters frustration.
