The Maestro And The Rock Star: The Contrary Combative Styles Of Floyd Mayweather And Manny Pacquiao
Exerpts
What was the point? Basically, to reiterate, Manny Pacquiao is a rock star. He thrills his fans, bringing them to their feet and prompting them to scream their support. He performs for the people, and the people love him for it. He is exciting and dangerous and beloved.
Floyd Mayweather, meanwhile, is a maestro. He awes his fans, prompting them to gasp, wide-eyed, in admiration for the impeccable application of his craft. He performs for himself, in search of perfection, before audiences split between those who admire his elegance and those who wish for someone to put on a real show.
Excellent article.

Very good read.
floyd is like an architect who makes commercial buildings like malls and walmarts...pac is like a carpenter who builds sky scrapers and suspension bridges!........
pac is like a carpenter who builds sky scrapers and suspension bridges... that collapse in less than a years time due to poor workmanship.
A truly superb article. This article made my dad thephantom5. Any true boxing fan would love this article. It praises both Floyd and Manny and doesn't nuthug anyone. The maestro vs. the rock star...doesn't matter because they both make beautiful music in the ring.
I agree. A truly great article.

it don't matter Paulie malinagii gonna gatti floyd and hatton pac.....
Thanks for adding to the thread.
I really needed to hear that pearl of wisdom.
Truly great stuff....
mayweather and pacman both deserve praise and criticsm for what has happened over the last year. both have dominated their opponents, and both have prevented us seeing the greatest fight in boxing. however, it's nice to see an article that doesn't focus on that for a change. it's a shame everyone can't just get behind them both as the world's greatest fighters, but then i suppose we'd have nothing to discuss other than actual boxing :)
great analogy...great quote. I think i'm a swagger jack that!
"Mayweather has become the straight-A student whose perfect tests are shrugged off while his A-minuses are picked apart, just because he can’t stop talking about how he’s smarter than Albert Einstein."
