Tonight, Floyd beat the 36 year old version of Pacquiao who failed to stop Algieri and Rios, lol. Big deal. And Pacquiao didn't have a single mark on his face so stop with this he got destroyed crap. Taken to school? Yea maybe- to Usaine Bolt's school of running/hugging lol.
The 30 year old Prime Pac who stopped Cotto would have beaten Floyd. Even this 36 year old shot Pac (who couldn't stop Algieri or drop bum bum Rios) had Mayweather on the ropes and was landing combos, and stole 4 rounds. If this was prime Pac from 5-6 years ago (the one who dropped Cotto twice) Floyd would have been seriously hurt or dropped in the 4th round. But the old shot Pacquiao just didn't have the power and stamina to do it.
Floyd was smart to duck Pac for the past 5 years because he knew his style aged far better than Pacquiao's, just like Lewis's style aged far better than Tyson's. But prime Tyson would still have destroyed lewis, just like prime Pac beats Floyd.
But hey, it is what it is. Boring ass fight with lots of running/hugging. Floyd won the fight by jabbing at a distance and hugging at close range. The old shot Manny of 2015 couldn't overcome the reach disadvantage, just like old shot tyson couldn't overcome Lewis's reach.
Wouldn't have worked against prime Pac with endless stamina and real power. And Still doesnt change the fact that 1). Floyd ducked prime Pac for 6 years and 2). Pac has won more world titles than Floyd and will be ranked higher historically.
To the flowmoes, do you really think that the 36 year old Pac of 2015 who failed to stop Algieri and Rios is even half the beast that the 30 year old prime Pac who stopped Cotto and Dela hoya was?
Tell me in the poll.
