    This is true. You would think they'd want Manny to put his best effort against Floyd's as that is what boxing should be about. Instead they want Floyd to fight down to Manny's level to give him a better chance to win.

        Casual fans don't like boxing. They like fighting and want to see 2 guys stand still beating each other to a bloody pulp rather than 2 boxers fighting smart, making adjustments and neutralizing their opponent. So they expect fighters to brawl to please the fans rather than box to win. They forget that boxing is a sport and the objective is to win.

        I don't get that though because there are entertaining brawls on every week but none of these casual fans are talking about these fights.

          Notice how Pac's right hands weren't carrying anywhere near the same amount of force as his lefts? The shoulder injury really hindered his punching power.

                He tore his right rotator cuffs after that sequence of flurries in the 4th round. That clip was the 4th round.

                Haha you guys try to discredit without doing your research first. Dumbazz
