Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[jas]

PAC won the fight

[Doctor_Tenma]

Pacquiao has always struggled to unveil his right hook when fighters keep him at a distance, how many times did Marquez make him miss? And Marquez is no defensive specialist but looking at the 3rd fight in particular when Marquez controlled distance well, Pacquiao only landed a few right hooks. How many times did we see this?

Did the injured shoulder make his footwork so pitifully inferior to Floyd's? Did it make his ring IQ so much lower? Did it make his feet as slow or slower than Floyd's "shot" legs?

When you're in pain it'll effect everything.

Well it made Manny look vastly inferior to Floyd, that's for sure

PAC had calf cramps and one messed up shoulder

He gave a very good showing under those circumstances

Anyhow, they should both retire before they suffer a loss

More and more people are seeing the fight as a Pacquiao win after all those slowmo vids. Why not? The technology is there to judge for oneself. I think this is better than relying on 3 corruptible or subjective judges to decide the outcome of a fight. Wouldn't it be better if decisions are put on hold for the next day after judges has gone through the fight again with the aid of technology then put out their decision with a round by round commentary? It's there why not use it? Why stay stucked with how it's done 100 years ago?

Agree, it's gone from 2 or 3 people on the planet thinking Manny won that fight to maybe a dozen, a couple of whom post here under multiple accounts. In another 50 years, the number is expected to grow to 15.

Easy fight to score, that was not a close fight. Mayweather won 10-2, even one of the judges who had it 8-4 rewatched the fights and said 10-2 for Mayweather was the correct score.

One thing I paid attention to when rewatching this was Floyds strategy on the ropes. I can't remember which former boxer mentioned this, but Floyd intentionally lets you get him on the ropes, unleash combinations which take a ton of energy, and when the other fighter backs up Floyd punches them in the stomach area so they can't catch their breath.

Just a small thing like this that most people don't pay attention to makes me appreciate how good he is. Nearly every professional and former boxer scored the fight for Floyd as well, I think they know a thing or two about boxing as compared with the Pacquiao fans here

Interesting observation. Good Post.

Well that's the thing. The bulk of Manny fans who weren't boxing fans are gone now, while most of the boxing fans who are also fans of Manny are still here. They don't like that Manny lost (and really don't like seeing Floyd fans get to celebrate), but they're taking it like men.

Then you have the fringe lunatics where they can't come to terms with it because Manny beating Floyd is just so important to them. They're desperately trying to spam their deluded little alternate reality into fact, but it's just not working and they don't understand why. It's because that bulk of Manny fans who didn't care all that much for boxing are gone now, so there's hardly anyone left to parrot and spam their delusional opinions. Just look at all their alts dropping like flies
