As good as Manny is if you thought Pacquiao had more than a puncher’s chance then you don’t know your boxing.
The 2 boxers are very good no doubt but they have their styles. Pacquiao is a southpaw and that was his undoing. Anyone who knows boxing knows with a southpaw it’s about footwork. You just need to know where to place your forward foot and you have won 50% of the battle. What makes Pacquiao tricky is usually his footwork. He can change positions which makes it hard for his opponents to maintain that position. That’s why he fights the way he fights to offset opponents. In Mayweather he had met a superior boxer with superior footwork. Everytime Pacquiao tried to adjust Mayweather’s super reflexes had him in a neutral losing position. Mayweather was deceptively fast and conserved his energy only moving when it was necessary but he moved like a cat. There was no competition whatsoever, it was a master versus student match. The injury excuse was really pathetic. Before you argue please watch the fight again.
Ha ha. I'm one one of those guys who also don't know Sh^t about boxing, because that guy said so. You see he knows, and if don't have the exact snowflake opinion then you just don't know Sh^t about anything. He's figured everything out from his Mom's basement.
Lmfao
You know how knowledgeable those basements can be
You just never know
Crazy how you become a nobody if you don’t agree with someone’s opinion
Cause in all reality , that’s all it is , really , his opinion
Maybe we’ll have better luck next time lol
OK then
Let’s try this again
Who the fugh are you ?

Only blatant agenda driven racists:
1. think Floyd loss that fight
2. claim Floyd aged Manny out (he's 2 years older than Manny)
3. CRY about there being no rematch. It was a landslide victory for Floyd there was never a need for a rematch. Furthermore, had Manny not been such an incorrigible petty POS and lied and made tons of excuses for why he loss- he would've gotten the rematch. Floyd was willing until then. And it's purely racism why certain people are blaming Floyd rather than Manny for that situation. Are you NOT upset that a boxer charged you $100 for a fight and then admitted he lied on all his paperwork about being healthy and used it as an excuse for losing?
I don’t think any of the Mayweather fanboy’s broke this fight down accurately. Most of the elite floydboys were saying Floyd walks Pacquiao down and stops him, Pacquiao can’t fight backing up etc. I broke this fight down perfectly, i.e. Mayweather has to stay away, just jab, tangle, move, touch and jump back, don’t commit, keep it quiet etc. Everytime Mayweather tried to come forward, he was countered, when he committed, he was countered, he has one way of beating Pacquiao, use his range, stay away, and it’s a tactic that wouldn’t keep him alive vs a prime Pacquiao.
You can trust me when I tell you Pacquiao would have stopped Mayweather prior to the Marquez KO. I don’t think Mayweather even beats the determined Pacquiao in Marquez IV.
Floyd does not have the power or the durability to beat a peak Pacquiao.
Floyd would stop Manny 130-140, sheesh PBF would destroy Manny, 147 and above Floyd UDs him 10/10.
For Manny to stop Floyd he would need to have stopped every opponent and the only ones he stopped were right around the PED allegations, outside of 2 CWS and PED talk Manny hadnt stopped anybody even B graders,,,,,but he is going to stop Floyd who dominated everybody .
Floyd did what he said he would do with Manny, while Manny didnt do jack sht what he said he was going to do.
pac landed the much better punches and should have won the fight. floyds reflexes were actually too slow to get anything going against pac. i dont know what you were watching. thats the entire reason he created so much distance between them. he wasnt able to get off without being hit in return so with the increased distance he was able to limit pacs output but in turn it limited his ability to really land anything substantial. even his jab didnt really land or barely grazed pac because he wasnt committing to any of his punches. where were his counters as well? gone. an open gloved push off hook? please. he was simply not fast enough to get them off. marquez is much slower but he stood his ground which is why h landed good shots. floyd was always one step on the retreat hence no leverage on his punches. you completely failed at breaking down what was actually happening in that fight and im sure you did so purposefully. if floyd was so much faster and in control how come pac landed the much better punches? its illogical. floyd ran out the clock and they gave him the fight because it was boring so people assumed he was winning. he was not. we have the video
Yet not one credible boxing publication, announcer or expert agrees with you but you're right and they're all wrong?

TUE 51-0 skipped the lucrative Oscar rematch that Manny took as an emergency replacement. Result proved TUE sissydom.
Crawled back to Oscar like a kicked cur to fight preBALCO Marquez for peanuts the IRS seized!
U need a new set of dentures and knitting needles Granny!
Anyone know wtf this idiot is trying to say?

That's exactly what I saw. Well described.

“Many people” as in what 1 out of 5? Lol
bro Robert Guerrero won about as many rounds as manny did.
Floyd was peerless and didn’t have any rivals inside of the ring

Ok
Who the Fugh are you again
I think anyone judging what would happen between prime Mayweather and Pacquiao based on the 2015 fight is doing a great disservice to both fighters. Neither of them looked anything close to prime that night.
pac landed the much better punches and should have won the fight. floyds reflexes were actually too slow to get anything going against pac. i dont know what you were watching. thats the entire reason he created so much distance between them. he wasnt able to get off without being hit in return so with the increased distance he was able to limit pacs output but in turn it limited his ability to really land anything substantial. even his jab didnt really land or barely grazed pac because he wasnt committing to any of his punches. where were his counters as well? gone. an open gloved push off hook? please. he was simply not fast enough to get them off. marquez is much slower but he stood his ground which is why h landed good shots. floyd was always one step on the retreat hence no leverage on his punches. you completely failed at breaking down what was actually happening in that fight and im sure you did so purposefully. if floyd was so much faster and in control how come pac landed the much better punches? its illogical. floyd ran out the clock and they gave him the fight because it was boring so people assumed he was winning. he was not. we have the video
Nobody won. Floyd took no chances for a reason. Floyd did nothing in the championship rounds for a reason. He should have took some risks in rounds 11 and 12 and cemented his face on the Mt Rushmore of Boxing. Nope. He blew it. He's great and he nullified Manny, but Manny picked off many of his punches too. The fight sucked. This was not Leonard Duran in New Orleans as some people rewrite history. Nobody stood from their seats in this fight. THere was no roar from the crowd. Nothing of note happened in regards to an actual fight.

I can’t trust you.
That's true. Watched it ten times and I didn't see Mayweather winning that fight. I'm not one to fool myself just to pretend I know sh*** about boxing. Pac won that fight.
Yet every credible boxing publication, announcer, and expert disagrees with you but you're right and they're all wrong.
I don't know what u are talking about. Pac with injured arm beat the full of IV version of floyd... imagine if that was a prime pac i wouldn't even give floyd a chance to finsih the 12 rounds.
Floyd EASILY beat your hero and no one without an agenda disputes that.
