Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Brilliant In Shutout Of Brandon Rios

[iniduoh]

Those of you who think this fight wasn't tailored made to order for Pac are really not thinking with a clear head. There was a reason why the odds in Vegas were 6 to 1.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Calling him with a bogus offer doesn't mean ****. Has Floyd ever really tried to put the fight together?? NO. Everyone from fighters, to promoters, to execs to state officials know Floyd has killed it every time.

Not true. If your a real fight fan you would not say that. 100% not true. But shows who's biased and who's really about the sport. I don't hate, I just mark off who's comments I should bypass and not even read due to the fact that they will just be biased opinions and not factual based rebuttals

Um...what? It's pretty well documented that Floyd killed the fight every time. True fight fans, and fans of other sports are aware of it. Mayweather had NO plans of fighting Pacquiao when he was tearing through people. His combination of speed, power, movement, and energy were going to hand Floyd his first loss. No question about it. Mayweather did everything he could to come up with bogus reasons to stall, delay, and ultimately cancel the fight.

If they do fight, it will be when Manny has nothing left. His style requires a level of fitness and athleticism that decays with age. Floyd can play his defensive, single-shot style for much longer and he knows it. He will wait it out and catch Pac when he's slower and sloppier.

Hats off to Many for winning. Lets take personal feelings out of it and look at Pac's performance last night. What I saw was a fighter still dealing the affects of a KO. Similar to Roy Jones Jr, there were times when Pac could see the punch he wanted to throw but was hesitant to throw it for fear of being countered. Be real with yourself people, when have you ever seen Manny pause for split second before letting his hands go? Never. That's what folks love bout him. I saw Manny employ a hit and not get hit style - the same as Floyd - the same style that Pac fans criticize Floyd for and say he's running. I pray that Manny has another fight to shake of the rust and build his confidence up before putting him in with Floyd. If not, Pac would fair no better than Rios, looking for the KO.
