Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton: Mayweather-Pacquiao Damaged Boxing

[b00g13man]

Let's keep it real, majority of people tuned in to see Floyd knocked out. They expected Pacquiaos workrate to force Floyd into a shootout like Maidana did. But in round one Floyd let him know there's a price to pay for lunging in, so Manny abandoned his reckless ways and decided to box, playing into Floyd's pace.

This fight was like watching the Spurs neutralize a team like the Warriors, holding them to just 80 points. That's what Floyd did to Pacquiao.

The whole "boring" crap is just disappointment that Pacquiao lost. Had Manny been given the decision, guess what, that fight isn't boring anymore and nobody would say it ruined boxing. It would be the night Mayweather lost. A national holiday in the Philippines. Boxing writers would praise Manny for a brilliant tactical performance.

But since the brilliant tactician was Floyd, oh now its boring, because we've seen this show before, we are used to seeing Floyd outbox people. What they expected (Manny by KO) turned into another easy sparring session for Mayweather.

It's just the way it is.

NO the MORAL is DON'T MAKE EXCUSES !!!

NASAC is NOT RESPONCIBLE FOR FIGHTERS ACTIONS! IF PAC'S TEAM IS NOT ADVISING HIM CORRECTLY OR TAKING CARE OF DETAILS, THEN GET A NEW TEAM!

PAC HAD NO GRIPE WIN THE NASAC HELP HIM CHEAT HIS AGREED UPON CONTRACT WITH FLOY, TO NOT USE HORSE HAIR GLOVES, WHICH WOULD HAVE WORSEN HIS CONDITION, IN HIS SHOULDER!

SO PAC HAS NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF!

Don't put all the blame to Pacman! NSAC has ALL the responsibility to check and double check Boxers! what are those doctors doing during weighing in? take again the closer look on the score card there was an embarassing error the JUDGES don't know who was Sitting on the RED CORNER AND BLUE CORNER! WHOM are you gonna blame??? how are you gonna correct this kind of errors or negligence of duty and responsibility???

If Pacquiao knew how to box and cut ring off then he could have forced Mayweather to fight like Maidana did but he didn't and couldn't. I was upset myself at Floyd not putting a hurting on Manny because I knew he could have but also knew and know that Floyd likes to coast for the easy win. Manny made it easier than ever.

Let's rephrase that,

If Pacquiao knew he would be bear hugged to death everytime he attempted to go in. He would have learned to waltz in a ballroom.

Can you imagine young kids watching Mike Tyson's stand-up, and hearing how Don King was robbing him, and the IRS raping him, and say "I wanna be like Tyson?" How about young kids watching Tommy Hearns on PBC, and hearing how he could barely eke out a sentence, and say "I wanna be like Tommy Hearns?" How about looking at Freddie Roach and Muhammad Ali, and say "I wanna be like those guys?" However if they learn how to hit and not get hit, stay undefeated, and be the highest paid athlete in the world for 3-4 years straight, and make over $200 million dollars in 36 minutes, I think that's something that might attract them!

It left a bad taste in the mouths of Boxing fans. Floyd Groupies swallowed every drop though.

Slurp, Slurp.
