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

[M4RK]

Mayweather landed about 5 or 6 clean good shots on Manny over 12 roundsied

Manny otherwise belted him around on the ropes, albeit with only little effect also because Floyd defended so well.

But it's entirely reasonable to score it for Manny given this. All else equal scoring for the offender is justified in my opinion.

I'm not saying that scoring it for Floyd was WRONG, indeed I thought Floyd deserved it personally, or atleast a draw or SD win.

But Holyfield is one of the most level headed fighter analysts around. How dare you level accusations at him like this! Holyfield and Tyson are 2 of the more unbiased former fighters with regards to commentary.

This is the truth.

This is the truth.

Some green K to help your travels mate!!

It's kind of like this, a few judges, a few thousand "followers" and a couple of other profile people scored it a landslide for Floyd...

The rest of the world either...

(a) Scored it down to the wire, those with Floyd up (as I actually did have it myself) only BARELY.

OR

(b) Scored it for MANNY!

The difference between Floyd campers and everybody elses analysis is so far removed there can be little doubt that Flowmo's are simply extracting as much out of this unfortunate event as possible.

Disgusting.

Absolutely disgusting!

First of all you aren't honestly speaking. He in no way shape or form outboxed Mayweather. I watched this fight again with an open mind this time..and you cant give him more that 4 rounds. Single digit punch connections.....And A man who is clearly trying to evade punches is part of boxing...This is one of the most ridiculous things i've read on here, cause it seems like it's coming from someone intelligent. SB nation? Really?? Read Dan Rafeal's article on ESPN, and if you know boxing you know he is one of the biggest Manny Fans in the world and even he had it easily for floyd..YOu are reaching...and really honestly you look ridiculous...

Alright...

ESPN’s Dan Rafael said: “While it was not the drama-filled battle many had hoped for, it was an impressive performance from Mayweather, the master boxer, who never allowed the more powerful Pacquiao to deliver any truly big punches as he pulled away in the second half of the fight.”

Thats not a good conclusion by dan man. 'Never allowed pacquaio to deliver any big punches...'

A. Thats not true
B. And where were Mays big punches then?

Its a two sided coin. You cant just say 'because manny didnt hit floyd much then floyd is superior' because when you flip it its also true

Money never really hit pac cleanly.

In fact if u count them, pac had way more big moments than floyd did.

Defense shouldnt score points.

Translation: Manny lost fair and square to the best fighter of this era.

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...

[M4RK]

Again with experts twisting things...

Yahoo! Sports’ Dan Wetzel wrote:
“Saturday was no different. Ultimately, Manny Pacquiao was no different, left chasing and swinging and in the end ... failing.”

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.

LOL Your really liking this "work" aren't you Hype Job

[elishua F]

Pacquiao just wants another payday. He was completely outclassed just like Canelo was. I only gave him one round.
