Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Dr Rumack]

The fight is getting slammed everywhere I look. Honestly didn't think it was that bad. The middle rounds were actually pretty good.

[darius45]

what was pacquiao talking about when he mentioned margarito and cotto anyone mind telling me?

i missed it

He said those guys punched harder... Max was asking him how he dealt with bigger guys... Yet, Floyd obviously punched hard enough for Manny to not risk a damn thing in 12 rounds...Floyd's next opponent will be interesting... I have a feeling it will be Khan... another easy win... Thurman is too much a live dog(but Floyd still beats him)...and Lara might actually outpoint with that super slick cuban style

[The Dreamer]

Disappointing. Both promised KOs and high action, and both came out somewhat lethargic. Nobody got destroyed, and worst of all no meme material came out of it

[IronDanHamza]

You're right, Dan. Loved bow he just chopped down Manny's work rate. Which is what I've said for the last five years. But his fans were just SURE he would "outwork" Floyd. Nope. Floyd controlled the fight from the first bell. That jab looked real good too, man.

Always said the jab was key. Defintely showed.

This was an easy fight to call IMO and always has been.

Pacquaio doesn't know what to do when he's given distance and countered, it's literally abundantly clear. Floyd was always going to cut his offense down, always.

I've had people say in the past, "well Chavez threw 1,000 punches" and then the same recently with Maidana but the difference is they're mauling fighters. Pacquaio isn't.

Hence why I said Maidana would be one of Floyd's toughest fights but no one could see it.

I'll say it like Roger; "Most people don't know **** about Boxing"

[-PBP-]

Right. Clowns. Then did you see Skip Bayless tweets?

I don't even want to know. And its just ESPN. It's these idiot casuals screaming boxing is dead because they wanted to see Floyd lose and he didn't.

[AllBoxingAD]

ESPN makes me sick. They watch boxing twice per year then want to criticize it.

Everybody that watched this fight knows Floyd's style. They were just hoping for Manny to KO him and it didn't happen.

ESPN has made me sick all week.

Im thankful for them supporting the fight, I guess.

But I also learned how dangerous it is to have biased no-nothing casuals talk so much about boxing.

Even Fat Dan must be like WTF, leave the reporting to me you ****in idiots.

They punch harder

[check hook]

Both fighters put in poor performances tonight! The enormity of the fight clearly effected both mentally. Neither was as aggressive as they could have or should have been.

[FeFist]

its really depressing when great fighters decide to be average.

Why is Manny playing Floyd's game? Makes no sense. You want to technical-box with the king of technical boxing?

Now Manny needs a couple of KD's or a KO or he loses.

running, clinching and jabbing gives you rounds? the sweet science

All that blood loss has taken the tenacity out of Pac.

Schooled??? Both fighters have ******

Pac threw this fight. I said it. Horrible effort.

Well that fight ******. And that must mean Mayweather won

Don't forget, 48-0.

[Ferrarijones]

Manny is to BLAME not Floyd as much as I hate to say it... Everyone knows how Floyd fights.. the onus was on Manny to throw a lot... How in the HOLY HELL does Maidana do better than Manny(who is much faster and has quicker feet)... Baffling...

One more fight with Floyd and it's on to the next p4p king, Loma...

Maidana is a damn good fighter and people try to doscredit him. He's looked like a new fighter under Garcia but people still give him flack for his earlier losses but praised Pac for succeedding after his. Maidana gave Floyd problems because of his unorthodox, caveman style and SIZE. No way Pac was going to be able to bully Floyd like Chico did. He's too small and too limited. He'll do well against guys his same size or slow plodders but someone with size and skill will beat him.

As they say, a great big man beats a great little man every time.
