Comments Thread For: Mayweather Outpoints Pacquiao Over 12 Rounds

You cant fault him for not having power. He never had it! That's like saying Tim Duncan is garbage because he can't jump like Lebron and give fans a show.

Mayweather = Tim Duncan. You must appreciate their crafts in order to appreciate them.

That's the perfect comparison. His consistency over the years is what makes him one of TBE. He may not be the most talented ever (RJJ has that title) but he has been the MOST consistent.

The seedlings for a rematch are planted. "Manny was injured, he actually thought he won the fight." Storyline right then and there.

Was thinking the same thing.
They're setting up doubt for the rematch.

Floyd runs like a chicken all night long and he wins. WTF!

Mayweather = Hakeem Olajuwon. You can't stop him from doing what he's going to do, and he'll always be where you don't want him to be.

Damn, thats a better comparison, Hakeem was "boring" in the post but you couldn't stop him.

But Hakeem and Tim both legends.

And wtf was manny thinking? I mean c'mon.......Just imagine what Amir Khan would do to Manny with him fighting like that......UGh cant believe i just said that

I wish people stop acting like Floyd dominated the fight. He didn't.

What success did Manny have?

I wish people stop acting like Floyd dominated the fight. He didn't.

You know I saw the huge size of the ring and I said that is it for Manny. No way can one throw a lot, land a lot, or cutt-off the ring when its 25ft ring. Especially when one is fighting a defensive runner. That is what ticked me off about the so-called experts and tonight's commentators. They think a fighter can cutt-off the ring when its 25ft ring and throw 80 punches a round against a defensive runner in a 25ft ring. It is impossible no matter how good of an offensive fighter one is. You can't force another fighter to stay still, you cannot hold them and make them stay put. It is impossible to keep a high punch output in these circumstances.

As for Mayweather all of a sudden he comes along and overturns decades of boxing thought and that is changing the rule that offense wins fights to defense wins fights. Yes, defense is part of the scoring, but it is the least important part of scoring and counts the least. All of a sudden throwing 35 punches per rd wins u a fight if you land 50% of them. But that is only a pathetic 17 punches per rd. Even the great defensive master Pernell Whitaker had an amazing offense. Hector Comacho later in his career did what Floyd did and judges would not give him the fights and pundits would criticize him for it. Defense was the least important part of scoring. It was always a huge deal that Willie Pep was once given a round just soley based on defense when he won a rd without throwing a punch that is because defense was thought of so little when scoring a rd.

This needs to change; no more 25ft rings, no more giving defense so much weight and no more allowing a fighter to win based on an avg of throwing 35 punches per rd.

Also, I am sick of these fighters who fight Mayweather and give him everything he wants. One thing Manny should of never allowed was a ring that large. That is what killed Maidana in the rematch and that is what was a huge part of Manny losing tonight. Another big issue is Manny is way past his prime and Floyd is not. Smaller fighters have shorter primes, especially fighters like Manny and if u recall Floyd took a 2 yr layoff from the sport which helped him stay younger. This fight should of happened 5 yrs ago and since it did not it should of never happened. Hell, I recall when Sugar Ray fought Terry Norris and he was 35yrs of age and all the boxing pundits never like to really count that fight because Ray was past his prime they would say. Sugar Rays career was never as taxing as Manny's career and Manny is a year older that when Ray lost to Norris.

It's not about power..you are talking apples and oranges when it comes to basketball.. Mayweather wasn't even aggressive..didn't even make any sign that indicated some sort of action pack plan...just outpointing....as a boxer..yeah..he's one o fthe greatest..but as a PRIZE FIGHTER...he's utter shhit..
