Comments Thread For: The Rewatch, 10 years later: Was Mayweather-Pacquiao really that bad?

HORN (CPGW) is an offical L
Pac didn't want that rematch

[TheProudLunatic]

How many people knocked Pac TFO ?!?!?!

[Haka]

Maidana beat him up for most of the first fight, Floyd daddy thought ODLH won, Castillo 1 could have gone either way. There is a reason why skipped Mosley 99/06,Kostya, class of 00s welters , prime PAC. TBE/A was never dominating but scraping by, try to figure out why so much ducking. Quack quack!

I take that back.

He clinched, ran, then clinched and ran some more

Floyd's pops told him he was scared in the ring, but we knew that out of the ring for 5 years prior

Floyd boys salivate to it

Rustico Torrecampo > Pac
Medgoen Singsurat > Pac
JMM > Pac (Gloriously)
HORN (CPGW) > Pac
May > Pac
Ugas > Pac

May would have ended Pac's name had Pac agreed to random blood testing
"Me feel weak and mentally can't understand blood leaving my body. ......unless granted 20+ day notice ."

It drew a ton of casuals.because of their names.

It wasn't a fight for casuals. You get two well matched guys like that and it can be a close chess match.

A lot like beterbiev bivol, close fight they are well matched and the guys not looking to take too much risk cause they will give openings for counters

From a technical perspective it was a great fight a lot of ring IQ on display especially if you watch the fight analysis channels

I had nightmares looking at Pac fight with his arm dangling like that
It really was about to fall off !

Pacquiao's Perspective ( ) :

• A torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder was suffered.
• The shoulder was reportedly injured during training camp, after mid-March.
• The injury significantly limited Pacquiao's ability to perform at his best against Mayweather. It was believed the pain returned in the third round.
• Regret was expressed about not postponing the fight. It was thought the injury would get better on its own, but it worsened during the bout. Pacquiao felt he had to "fight one-handed".
• Surgery was undergone to repair the torn rotator cuff following the fight

Pac signed paperwork that his shoulder was fine

He also said nothing in the post fight interview or in-between rounds about his shoulder

Only a few hours later at the press conference after him roach and arum had alone time did we get the shoulder excuse

[just the facts]

Yes it was really that bad.

All Floyd did was clinch and run.

And win……..

[just the facts]

Floyd said he would go for the ko before the fight. So id say Floyd failed in that fight.

You’re as dumb as ever.

Floyd showed his class. There are levels to this, and he was always at a higher level than Pacquiao.
