Comments Thread For: Holyfield Backs Pacquiao: I Felt He Won The Fight!

[Elroy1]

I had Floyd winning 8 to 4. Manny didn't do enough. Floyd fought a smarter fight and kept his distance limiting Manny's punch output

This seems like a wide margin but I know why we disagree here...

You scored a lot of EVEN rounds for Floyd!

If you convert 3 of those 8 rounds you scored for Floyd and 1 of them scored for Pac into DRAW rounds, then you get MY scorecard as I perceived the yanks would be having it.

Of course personally I score for the aggressor and felt Manny should have been scored for far more of his flurry shots than he actually did get given.

This is why most of the world views Manny the winner, because that is how fights are scored there.

Most places don't understand how jack rabbiting around the ring even constitutes boxing to be honest!

I got more incorrect conclusions delusions....

Ring Magazine’s Michael Rosenthal offered: “For five-plus years we wondered. Now we know. Floyd Mayweather Jr. very clearly is better than Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao and many of those watching the fight didn’t appreciate the manner in which Mayweather proved it, as he fought defensively and took very few risks ... (his) signature tactics were effective, though. Pacquiao groped to land any punch he could throughout the fight. He had his moments, particularly when he fired quick combinations whenever he got close enough. But it was an uphill battle for him from beginning to end as Mayweather rolled, held or ran to avoid getting hit.”


Does that actually sounds like mayweather won? When the best thing u can say is 'rolled, held or ran to avoid getting hit.'

Everyone got conned...

u are hilarious go to sleep man and drink lots of water

I'm more a fan of action than defensive fighters I do favor aggressive fighters. Manny wasn't aggressive enough to me, Floyd kept his distance which played a part but their were moments where I felt Manny should of just thrown more but was hesitant.

Again with experts twisting things...

Again, saying what manny couldnt do does not say anything about what mayweather did do, which was nothing.

I know what i saw, i could go all day.

What does this even mean? What did you see a draw, a Manny win, God loling at Manny?

Maybe you are new to the sport of boxing, but in a 12 round distance fight where you landed almost twice as many punches as got landed on you & there were no knockdowns for either guy the guy who landed almost twice as much is gonna win the fight nearly every single time, if not every single time barring a judge robbery.

I'd be hard pressed to think of a correctly judged championship fight where the guy who landed around half or less of what the other guy did won the fight without scoring some KD's or getting some foul points or something.

Yeah Compubox counted the punches and Floyd threw more punches.....and George Bush Jr won that second election after his people counted those votes.

[V.WEBB]

If you know him personally, please counsel him. He needs help!

I'll grill him when I get a chance.

I am new to the sport, just 7 years following.

Dont believe the compubox. Did u count the punches yourself?

I dont believe in counting jabs that hit the block as landed.

I had manny winning tbh 9-3, but if you wanted to be generous i could see 6-6 for a draw.

Btw trinidad - dhl is an example of of one guy way outlanding the other and still getting the loss, but its irrelevant here... Well maybe not... One could say that dlh last 3 rnds was like all 12 of floyds rnds... The ones dhl lost... Dont ya say...?

Manny couldn't get off in the fight.
I didn't see much of his right hook.
He looked tired and in Round 4 when he had Mayweather on the ropes he was punching and then took a step back and stopped punching, I think that may be because of the shoulder.

I watched the fight a few time already and I think there was something wrong with Manny. Just like I felt about Mike Tyson against Lennox Lewis.

Floyd Sr. said he thought the fight was a little closer:
