Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Fans Should Be Mad At Pacquiao, Not Me!

[Pacquiaotard86]

Mayweather was his boring self, and Pac is has not looked elite since fighting margarito. We all knew there was a chance the fight was going to be ugly and boring, and unfortunately it was

I'm not mad at ya, Floyd.

I bought the PPV as more of a get together with friends, while knowing that both guys were past their respective bests, having a clue how it would play out, and knowing it wouldn't be a Duran-Leonard 1 type of fight.

The aftermath on here over the last few months is almost enough to forget about the bill that came later.

I'm not buying the Berto fight, though.

Fuck all that.

[B-Bomber]

Floyd did exactly what he does in every fight. He outboxed his opponent and limited his opponent's offense. Anyone who bought this fight expecting to see a knockdown/slugout brawl have no one to blame but themselves. Anyone who bought this fight thinking that Paquaio was going to overwhelm Mayweather with punches and KO him should have psychological tests run to determine if they suffer from a delusional disorder.

LOL

To be honest, there is worse than that around here.

A fan hoping/thinking their fighter can win is ok with me, but those who expecte Floyd to go toe to toe and trade big shots ...I don't know...

...they either have never watched Floyd fight, or they should indeed be checked

Even when young and far more aggressive, Floyd did always move out after landing hs shots.

Those expecting him to go toe to toe in 2015, in a fight he was winning, must have gone nuts.

Pac didnt do anything special either thats why floyd stayed on the same pace all throughout the fight coz he's winning anyway. He didnt feel the need to step it up. Yes he could have done more. He couldve even knock pac out, imo. Who could blame him? He just didnt want to leave any room for luck. Ofcourse i hoped that he'd step it up once he got pac all figured out already but nonetheless it was an amazing perfomance. Not in terms of his offense, but on how he easily nullified pac. People fail to see that though. But at the end of the day, he got the win, and only him couldve save himself from critics (and thats by knocking pac out) but still he won.

And that is ten times or more better than someone who promised a knockout, a win, a spectacular performance and then lost. And have an excuse over an injury. Whether its true or not doesnt matter.

The most Booed Ever.

Convince the people booing Floyd, not only during and after the fight, but also when he watches the NBA live, that they should not boo him.

Lol.

I thought Pacquiao won, 8-4 to be exact, but just everything going into it, styles & aesthetics, it didn't make either guy look good. And when neither guy looks good, the guy that usually fights with more finesse (the defensive guy) will look like he's coasting, even if the results aren't what appear to be seen.

200replies doe, Floyd-Manny never gonna be over.
Imagine they fought a trilogy and each fight coulda been a robbery. Twit fingers hurtin'

For once... saddens me to say it... I agree with Mayweather.

Scenario 1: Pacquiao goes into the fight injured. That's Pacquiao's fault. He should have postponed the fight by a few weeks. There's no two ways about it.

Scenario 2: Pacquiao wasn't injured. He didn't take enough risks. He let Mayweather edge too many rounds with just the jab. Pacquiao needed to be quicker on his feet and to drag Floyd into a fight. Instead he followed him around the ring too much.

Pacquiao thinks he won the fight? Really. Just look at his disposition during the bout after the fifth round and tell me that's a fighter who really believes in his heart that he's winning. Manny looked confused and bewildered because he was.

No, Mayweather didn't beat him up and yes Pacquiao had an injured shoulder, but come on, Mayweather, with the exception of the fourth round, basically controlled the entire bout. He fought when he wanted to. He pot-shotted and boxed when he wanted to and even backed Pacquiao up when he sensed Manny was confused and searching for an answer on how to attack him with even a modicum of success. Something that never really transpired over the course of 12-rounds or 36 minutes of fighting/boxing.

It's nearly four months out from the fight and Pacquiao is healing from shoulder surgery. There's no doubt that he's not done fighting and I expect that he'll try and get a rematch with Mayweather. If I were him, I certainly would. I'd justify it by reasoning even with one arm I didn't really get beat up and managed to win a few rounds. And if I'm Mayweather, I'd announce my retirement after I beat Andre Berto and then UN-retire and come back to fight Pacquiao for my 50th career win. And my justification for that would be the money for the fight, though not as good as the first time, will still be off the chart. In addition to that, Pacquiao wasn't my toughest fight and there's nothing he can do differently if we fight again.

And therein lays the problem for Manny if he gets another shot at Floyd. Firstly, he better come to reality and accept that he lost to Mayweather and really never even gave him one good scare during the entire fight when they last met. If he accepts the truth, which isn't a given, somehow he and trainer Freddie Roach better come up with a plan that enables Manny to get inside and force the fight, thus making it impossible for Mayweather not to engage with him. This means Pacquiao will have to reinvent himself stylistically, and those odds aren’t too good, especially if he thinks just bringing more of what didn’t work the last time will work. This is the real world and reinventing himself from a stylistic vantage point won’t be easy. This is the real world and not Rocky III.

Sadly, before Manny even has a chance to try and reconstruct his style, he must break from the mold in which most elite fighters can't admit they lost unless they were knocked out or punched all over the ring. Based on his thoughts suggesting that he won and Mayweather ran, it doesn't look good. Lastly, it's really not all that difficult to accept if you're a big Pacquiao fan that Mayweather won their fight because he really did. And believe it or not it doesn't make you less of a person or fan because your guy lost. It's life and everybody suffers setbacks and defeats, no one is spared from that and hopefully we learn and grow from it

Oh yes he did. Rounds that should have gone to Pac. To make it an 8-4 for Pac. Videos don't. Unedited connected punches per round. Pac fought Floyd game and turned boxer and countered the counter puncher. It wasn't pretty, but he connected more throughout the fight more so than Floyd plus Pac also connected the telli blows as well.


and for the win..

the rounds that should have gone to Pac,,

Pac took Floyd's game and spit it on him.
