Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Doctor_Tenma]

It's absolutely Pacquiao who disappointed. Mayweather is who he is. He will only do what he absolutely has to at this point in order to win. Pacquiao's camp talked the entire time as if they were ready for Mayweather to dance, that they were prepared. Obviously they weren't.

And unlike others, I was not the least bit surprised when Pacquiao didn't press the issue late, when he had to know he was behind. I've been saying for at least a year and a half that Pac would be content to follow Mayweather around getting pot-shotted.

It's the smiles, constant smiles, even after getting fouled he would smile. It's like, all that trash talking, commercials and this is what he brings. I'm no Pacquiao fan at all but that was disappointing.

The taller guy was saying that Pernell Whitaker was not on Mayweather's level, Chavez Sr. went mad, nice of Sr. considering he never wanted to acknowledge what Whitaker did to him, it wasn't solely boxing Pernell walked him down, that's another story but this was funny.

You know what I've noticed about this whole ordeal, people are comparing the performances of prime greats to a 38 year old Mayweather, it's almost as though they don't realize that they're doing it. Some of those greats at 38 were done-zo.

Whitaker was done in his early 30s. The long amateur career and the ******* habit did him in. After the 2nd Buddy McGirt fight he clearly lost a step.

As far as Mayweather/Whitaker goes, its a wash to me. They are both top 20 since WW2 at least.

Chavez Sr. still has snap in his punches, I don't know what his diet consists of but goddamn.

The vast majority of the greats were done well before 38.

The fact he's still P4P #1 and undefeated at age 38 and 20 years as a pro when his first world title fight was in 1998 and 5 weight classes ago is amazing in itself and something I doubt will ever be replicated.

And like you said, the fact people are comparing prime ATG's to a version of Mayweather that's way way passed his prime tells another story. Mayweather's so good people act like he doesn't age.

Speaks to his greatness and consistency as a fighter.

Apparently Mayweather admits to having a spy/mole in Pacquaios camp, and goes on to say he knew about every day Pacquaio did and didn't spar, how much he trained, how many rounds he did, when he had to send sparring partners home and everything else.

And props to him, Mayweather wasn't playing.

Roach and Arum were giving information like they knew what was going on in FMJ's camp. That type of stuff is just par for the course.

I think we're all supposed to be outraged

[MayMosPeaHop]

On Golpe a Golpe, they all agree it was Pacquiao who disappointed, Chavez Sr. is also very bothered that Pacquiao entered the ring at 152, saying he should have came light.

What else were they saying?

I think we're all supposed to be outraged

I mean that's as commendable a move as it can get, other than well done what else can be said? Sometimes I don't understand what people look for.
