    I don't know what you guys are complaining about. What did you expect? I wish Floyd did not hold or run as much but you know that is the way he fights.

    At the same time I wish Pacquiao attacked more than he did.

    But I was just happy to see that Floyd still moved like he was in his prime, and I thought, so did Pacquiao. Floyd just had the better gameplay for this fight. I sure wish there is a rematch.

      Manny is not my hero you dumbf***. He's one of my favorite fighters. "master piece of boxing." Wtf Did I just read. Jab, jab, jab jab, straight right. Hook, jab, jab, straight right. Oh, he's getting close? Better clinch and hold his arm. Oh, I'm cornered, better run back to the center of the ring. Oh no, a flurry! Better clinch and hold his head down while putting all my weight down on him. Here, let me smother my glove across your face as the ref breaks us up.

          Your the dumb fck because like before the fight as well as after you dont under stand what you see , your are looking for this battle and if Manny was better you would have got that , Manny was not in his class thats why he was reduced to doing nothing , boring win I agree but its only because Floyd is that much of a better boxer than all he beats , you can make him out to be the biggest dud in history if you like , but everybody he beat is a bigger dud than him .

          Manny lost bad , that in itself was a lesson in how to control and shut down one of the best in history .

            Why are people comparing this to lennox-tyson... Tyson was completely shot for that fight...

            Floyd/manny was a battle between two top p4p guys.... Tyson/spinks is a more comparable fight in terms of hype

                Who cares if Tyson was there?

                You know who was?

                Jordan.

                    Young casual fans. We got

                    Ali - Frazier
                    Tyson - Spinks

                    , however different fights, amazing events that you talked about months later.

                    And then we got

                    Mayweather - Pacquiao

                    complete borefest, that you'll forget as as soon as it ended.

                      im not saying those were bad fights. my point was just that holyfield shut mike down, just like floyd shut pacman down. the fight was still good because of how masterful they did it. how smart they fought. i mean if people want to see dumb brawlers knock each other silly they should just watch ufc. its never a good thing to see guys hit each other on the chin clean, getting bloodied up and all that. thats an obvious sign that both guys are making mistakes, both guys are risking too much, or maybe one just being so much better than the other.

                      either way its not good. theres nothing great about it. there was nothing great about foreman gassing vs ali. he could have won, he probably should have won, but he made a huge mistake. there was nothing great about ali getting clipped/knocked down by frazier. he got too ****y, he made a mistae. it makes for exciting fights but as far as boxing its not "better" than watching holyfield dismantle tyson, than watching floyd dismantle pacman. so thats how i look at it. tyson needs to shut his mouth. he couldnt do anything to make his holyfield fights exciting because holyfield avoided him and fought extremely smart (and maybe dirty). floyd fought extremely smart, theres nothing pacman could have done except for risking everything, opening up and then getting knocked out. that i guess would have been "exciting" for tyson but that doesnt make a good fight. he never understood or appreciated the art of defensive fighting because he doesnt relate to it
