    I knew Floyd was going to win, superior boxers almost always win and are a safe bet. I was disappointed as the fight was extremely low action.

      If you thought Floyd was gonna fight a toe to toe slugfest, the idiot is YOU!

        I knew Gayweather didn't have the balls to fight toe to toe, he never did, but I also didn't expect him to stink up the joint as bad as he did.

          He said it was going to be easy work, said it many years prior to the fight, said it all the way up to the fight, he told the truth he was everything we knew Floyd was a master boxer, Manny said he was going to be aggressive and KO Floyd, told his people to bet their house, Manny lied and had a class action filed against him for lying.

            Floyd was Floyd, Manny was lost at sea, the ring is a small place when one guy can't do anything but follow the leader, Manny could have gone all Maidana but he chose to go into a shell and do nothing because he got countered early and shut down to the guy that had no idea what to do.

              Manny couldn't do anything because of his bum shoulder and Froids running and hugging.

              Like I said, the fight was 5 years too late and Pac was already getting shopworn.

                    Floyd fought his typical fight. It was Manny who didn’t. He tried his usual jump in and throw a couple of times early and got countered effectively and basically seemed content to lose by decision.

                      And negotiations for the fight started 12 to 13 years ago, LOL!
                      To be honest, who would want to revisit this? The fight of the century definitely didn't live up to its namesake.

                      I'm a huge Manny fan, accepted the loss. He probably wouldve lost if they fought earlier if I'm being totally honest but Mannys workrate in 09, 10 was an intangible that you had to factor in.

                      And the most ironic things of this whole debacle is Floyds hypocritical OSDT demands in the beginning and he ends up with an IV/750ml before the fight. LOL! Thats not suspect at all! To put into perspective, 750ml of fluid roughly equals 1.9lbs.
