Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao, Bradley Both Fought Like Amateurs

[smoothsmg]

“Congratulations. [Pacquiao] was the better man,” said Mayweather, who’ll defend his WBC welterweight title against Argentina’s Marcos Maidana, the WBA title-holder, on May 3 at MGM Grand.


He congratulated him. Okay dont see the issue here.

“But as far Bradley, whoever he’s working out with, they have to make a lot of changes because he’s lifting too many weights. He’s more worried about how he looks on the scale than he how performs inside that ring. Bradley went out there and fought his heart out, but I think that he was throwing a lot of shots like an amateur. I think he was making a lot of mistakes. He was very, very fatigued early on. I think that he was making a lot of mistakes and fighting like an amateur.

Again whats wrong here? Floyd was right Bradley did gas early, he made several mistakes and looked pretty bad. The only wrong thing I see is the assumption that Bradley cares more about how he looks than how he performs.

“I think both fighters fought like amateurs. I thought Pacquiao fought like an amateur, also, and I wasn’t pleased with his performance. But, you know, he got the victory the best way he knows how. But I wasn’t pleased with his performance at all. I’m seeing something totally different in Pacquiao, but still, that don’t make me say I’m going to go out there and fight him because he’s with Bob Arum and I’m with Mayweather Promotions.”

Again Floyd is correct. I scored the fight 116-112 for Pacquiao. Clear, cut win over Bradley imo 8 rounds to 4. BUT he looked terrible imo. I said this on the radio show Pacquiao looked almost zombie like. I didnt see the blazing speed or power. He looked just good enough to beat a guy like Bradley but I didnt see his talent look above and beyond like I expected to be honest. I picked Manny to win by knockouts over Bradley twice now.


“I don’t see the same pop in Pacquiao’s shots,” Mayweather said. “Me, myself, you know, I’m not saying this guy is doing anything, but I don’t see the same snap in his shots, he’s getting tired and he wasn’t getting tired before. So I’m seeing something totally different, whereas me, I’m still sharp, I’m still smart, I’m not getting fatigued. I wasn’t getting fatigued from the beginning. Those are the things that I see. I don’t know if you guys see it, but that’s what I see.”

Yes again I didnt see the power or snap in Pacquiaos punches either. He threw a lot of punches with literally nothing behind it.


I dont get all the outrage.

Its only outrage because Floyd spoke it. Well, if anyone besides Arum/Manny/Roach states this exact same thing, they will be branded a hater by this board.

"Dont you say nothing bad 'bout my Manny!"

I've always given Floyd his props as a fighter BUT this is why I can't stand him. He'll go down as the biggest ducker of significant fights in boxing history. Meanwhile, Manny is getting better with age. Watch this video very carefully because it sums up him being a complete fighter, and a refined one as well.

Pacquiao is what? 35? His style and the number of fights he's been in is obviously not conducive to lasting very long in the sport. It's pretty understandable that he isn't as fast or powerful anymore.

Obviously its steroids doe.

Who didn't see this coming from Mayweather?

Chicken Chit

See this is the kind of stuff I don't understand. Mayweather basically says Pacquiao is a push over, but he doesn't have the guts to fight Pacquiao. It's not about promoters, Mayweather has always said he makes his own decisions???.

How about not trying to think what he "basically" said, and what he actually said. It was not a pretty fight, it was sloppy.

A Floyd event is coming!

It will get worse

[GRUSTLER]

How come it wasn't all of this hate for Freddie Roach who admitted he wasn't happy with Manny's performance? Acting like Floyd came out of the blue and was the only one saying it. Naazim Richardson didn't call them Amateurs but he wasn't thrown back by their performances either.

Its only because Floyd said it. ONLY. Like if Floyd was just talking out his butt saying this, then rip him apart, but the fight was not a good fight (honestly just like the 1st one) and it was very sloppy.

[GOD-FR33]

Think before you speak........

Think before you speak. Freddie is like a father to Manny. He can say what he wants, he's earned the right. Floyd is just talking out of his ass yet again. **** him! Manny is a LEGEND and Floyd is a mere HOF'mer. He's a HATER just like Roidquez. They've always been jealous of Manny's "Global Icon" status. It's quite obvious.

[PAKYO]

Sloppy fight, amateurish, one-dimensional, etc...so how come floyd still scared to fight Pac when it will become the highest payday with very low risk for him?

Is floyd really that big of a coward? or is it the floydiots who are afraid their boxing IQ skills gets exposed as phony too?
