    How is admitting to spying on another camp to gain an advantage commendable? It's bad sportsmanship, you spastic.

    Someone said it best earlier when they said it's like having training footage of an NFL teams before you face them in the superbowl, you wouldn't call that commendable, but you'll call it commendable for Mayweather, you're deluded.

      Just the same expressed disappointment that's been said here, even Mares said that was one of Mayweather's easiest fights.



      On here as well, it's in spanish, even Chavez said the only one who came to fight was Mayweather, the guy who didn't want to fight was Pacquiao.

            Training footage gained via having a spy or mole that nobody else has? Commendable? You're a freak, I don't even know why you watch sports with such a dumb mindset.

            Next you'll be saying taking illegal steroids is commendable, spiking your opponents drink is commendable, it's the "art of war".

              Give Floyd credit. I've rewatched the fight twice now (and actually a little bit on mute, which made it even better), Pac wasn't as bad as made out, Floyd was just better. Manny didn't stand in front of Floyd for 12 rounds because he was in survival mode or he wanted to be in perfect range of his right hand, they wanted Floyd to get off, counter him with combinations, they were aiming for effective aggresson so that he doesn't punch himself out and he doesn't get fatigued late in the fight...and for the most part he was defensively responsible and reactive. Floyd's foot speed and ability to tie Manny up, reset, and his control of range allowed him to win the better part of most rounds. It's always easy for fans to say he should've did this or that, even in regards to Floyd, I get the feeling that a lot of you guys just don't understand boxing or have never boxed, you just type all day and know some on paper history about the sport (granted I had to rewatch to really appreciate it).

              As far as 152, idk why. What's the point of coming under 147 [145] just to put that much weight on your body overnight? You just make it harder on yourself. Justin Fortune was saying he expects Floyd to be 160 on fight night, but he still wants Manny at 150, no more, no less. Manny was training below 148 the last 2-3 weeks. I really don't understand the logic behind 152...I'm no s&c coach, I'm sure there's a reason...I'd like to hear it. Foyd never weighed in, but they couldn't have truly expected Floyd to be 160 against a naturally smaller guy.

                  Not really because that's illegal.

                    Hell, I'm not mad at all. Floyd knew this was the best opponent he's faced to date. I'd have done the same thing. I want every advantage I can get

                      The 152 surprised me. It just didn't make sense. A lot of peculiar behavior from Pacquiao and his team.
