"Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit, Floyd is the best at it, why da hate?"

[RajahBell]

Larry Merchant said it best in the Top Rank commentary of the fight, "hitting comes first" after his "boxing is about hitting and not get hit" comment. Floyd is a "not get hit" first and foremost while Pacquiao is clearly a hit first fighter. Therefore, Pacquiao has more exciting one-sided victories.

It's well known that old fart Larry despises Mayweather. I wouldn't take anything he says on the Mayweather subject too seriously.

A big fan of Mayweather's skills and a big fan of Pacquiao....they did what they had to do with finesse, cunning and power. Mayweather the savvy fighter who had flawless defense, while Pacquiao a more bombastic and dynamic figher who can lull you with his mullti-angled combinations.

These two legends need to fight. No need for BS and trash from their fanbase, just fight.

Yea today,just today boxing a shut out is all the sudden great and exciting,now because Manny did it we all agree..drug testing and putting on clinics is now a universal beautiful thing..knockouts are overrated...why take stupid risks.....i think everyone finally understands amazing

Nope, people are laughing at all the Floyd fans being hypocrites. Just like when CWs became acceptable practice once Floyd did it AGAIN.

You know "Manny's boxing clinic was boring" ...... "Floyd's boxing clinic of Baldomir (insert name here) was amazing"

lmfao are floyd stans seriously trying to make guys like ortiz and guerrero look like elite or even good fighters? jesus christ this is hilarious

they were d level guys who like rios go head first and like rios is tailor made for better boxers

amazing how baised these morons can be, simply amazing

simply fact is floyd has avoided the best wws through his whole career and for the vast majority of his career has a very poor resume whether its due with proper drainage, beating part time guys coming off near 2 year lay offs or d level golden girl fraud fighters built up to be something they are not

rios would kill ortiz and guerrero, no discussion about it, all 3 are similar in terms of head first and average boxers but rios is better at that style than both, hell they beat berto for christ sake to get a shot at floyd, berto, the most overrated z level fighter in the last decade


last post here from me, just had to call out the prick again, money team/larry is amazing, goes on about cws and then defends floyd, goes on about terms not being the same after 6 months, then defends floyd for holding canelo to something he said 2 years ago....floyd wins 12 rounds ish and its a clinic, manny does it with loads more punches and entertainment and that is boring, christ sake what morons

says belts mean nothing and then criticises guys manny fights who did not have a belt

amazing

There is nothing wrong with what Manny Pacquiao did, he went in and boxed beautifully, even he see's now that there is NOTHING cool about taking punishment, leave all that crap for those Rocky movies.

of course there's nothing wrong. dudes are just mad because Manny can box, dominate and make it look exciting whereas Floyd boxes, and people just leave.

Manny beautifully outboxers a bigger, stronger and iron chinned opponent by using lateral movement, moving in and out, and taking a minimal amount of damage, and the first thing the Floyd stans say, "it was boring". Manny did exactly what they rave about in regards to how a fighter should fight, and now suddenly its boring?

How did a 120-108 performance suddenly become a bore to the people who love artistic boxing?

Throw in Pac landing nearly 50% of his power shots, threw almost 730 punches, landing 36% of them while making Rios land just 9 power punches per round after landing 21 per round in his previous 6 fights.
