Neither guy came to fight both guys boxed and thats what we got a boxing match.pacquao definetly fought scared.there were opportunitirs for Floyd to get him out of there if he threw more combinations.
    Ok. I guess Manny shouldn't have picked now to become a boxer.

    I just didn't appreciate everything from the selfie to the head being down at the podium.

    Manny did not represent himself well IMO.

        I don't know but I could see from the body language in the 11th that Floyd was bouncing and Manny had lost his sharpness and accuracy, seemed fatigued.

        you couldn't be more wrong. You know I have never thought Manny was ever on Floyd's level. we got closure. As a Floyd fan and someone who needles pac fan, the ending was definitive and I got some material for the trolls.

        As a boxing fan, which I have been longer than most on NSB, I am disgusted with Manny and you should be too. That was not the performance you expect from a guy many of us consider one of the 50 or so greatest to ever fight. He never tried to win. that is why I am angry.

        By never trying to win Manny robbed the sport of its ability to show the sports world that hand to hand combat is the definitive measure of a man.

        The biggest selling point of this fight was how could a great defensive boxer stand up to an all out onslaught from a fast, powerful, motivated, disrespected, champion. The sport and the real fans deserved Manny going for broke.

        He wouldn't and the sport is being punished by mainstream fans because of it.

        The question isn't why am I bitter, the question is why aren't you along with me?

        He represented himself better than Floyd. Run, hold, get booed out of the place then wave your cheque in people's faces like they gaf. Great.

          that was funny.

          weebler you knew what Floyd was going to do. he did it. you knew what many was going to do, he didn't do it. You need to let it go and hold him accountable.

              i re watched the fight the other day and it was very entertaining, never a dull moment

              people say floyd is boring, but it takes two to tango

              hatton vs floyd was far from boring, it was electric from the first bell
              Floyd showed in the 9th round of that fight he could have made that fight VERY boring. He chose to show he was a better inside fighter than Hatton and that led to a pretty entertaining(though quite ugly) fight.

                not an issue dunn but if you're going to post about Pac not being a warrior and not representing himself well then be prepared to hold the other guy to the same standard

                  So if Pacquiao got too aggressive and got himself KO'd a few rounds later than Hatton, would he then have done better than him?

                    Went out on his shield on a fighter he cherry picked. Try again

                      Your right about manny he looked scared imo he talked all that **** that he was going to throw alot of punches and the dude threw less than Floyd.
