    No. Objectively, no.

    Did you read the part where he held LESS THAN 2 TIMES PER ROUND? What part of that are you not getting? Is it the longer words?

      Realisticly, there's no need to hold unless your hurt..If floyd held he should lose round as he's either signalling he's been hurt or pac s too much

        Not really.

        It's been a part of the sport from it's genesis and always will be.

          You can hold as much as you want, but it's main use is when hurt, so you can survive round, or to stop opponent landing as much as you

            This one is an easy one. Obviously it was Marcos Maidana. Money May had to work twice as hard to get himself in fighting condition against Manny Pacquiao because he feared Pac and knew he was a dangerous opponent.

            However, with Maidana; Not so much. He was not properly prepared for that bout. I highly doubt if he hardly trained any or at all for that fight.

            The reason being is that he did not respect Maidana skills and thought that the fight would be another cake walk in the park for him. Floyd underestimated him.

              Just read my last response to you again since it clearly didn't compute.

                floyd didnt hardly train for a fight? i kinda doubt that he was a gym rat u would know by the weigh in footage etc that would be an unprofessional thing to do not to train for a guy who just made a fool of his mate broner and was on a good KO streak as well

                  You are right. He was a gym rat. However, he was a gym rat to a much lesser degree than when he challenged Maidana. Against Pacquiao; He trained so hard that he needed IVs in order to replenish all of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients he lost in his body while training for him.

                    Marcos actually tried to win even when Floyd was widing him in the rematch

                    manny was psychologically deflated as early as after round 1

                    look at manny's face in the corner between rounds 1 and 2 lol

                    this Ployd is better than I thought

                      I rather rewatch any of the Maidana fights instead of the Pac fight.
