Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Mayweather Knew I Was Hurt, Pulling My Arm

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

That explains the drop in Pac's punching stats.

And why when I can see he could have finished floyd in the 4th, but when he was about to finish Floyd in the fourth, he suddenly stopped his relentless attack when he pinned Floyd off the ropes.

He could have finished him off right there, but he bizarrely stopped.

Now we know his right shoulder was aggrevated when he threw a barrage of punches during the 4th round from then on he was nursing pain till the 12 th round.

The heart of a true warrior. Stand tall Manny!

Yeah, I wish people stop acting like Floyd made Pacquiao stop punching or something. Manny stopped on his own. Everybody know Pacquiao could have done more than that.

Something years ago...I should have known.

And yes, looking at Floyd's career every since he became his "own boss", you've got to wonder if there is something else behind these fights that we don't know. I truly don't believe his in-ring skills are making his opponents fight the wrong strategy everytime they fight him. That's unusual, no matter how you look at it. Just look at Canelo. He had natural advantages over Floyd that he could have used against him, especially since Floyd was in the pocket. Because you know you can't outbox the boxer but that's exactly what he tried to do. But then come his fight Lara (another elite boxer who is bigger than Floyd) and now suddenly, he's coming out with these exploding body shots against a moving target?

Now look at Pacquiao. There were times in the fight he could have jumped on Floyd and he didn't. Even in the corner, he let Floyd off the hook. That's not like Pacquiao. We just saw him in his last two fights where he never missed an opportunity to slam his combinations or one good shot on his opponents that wins the round.

Heck, look at the second Maidana fight. You'd think Maidana was gonna do what he did months earlier just better but instead, he was even less active. It's like he was trying to box Mayweather too. Then he claims he thought he won the fight? I find that quite similar to what we're seeing now after last Saturday's match.

This is happening way too consistently to the point where it's not believable anymore. Saturday's fight now leaves me no doubt that something is more to Mayweather's career than the world knows.

Plus, there's also that "A-side" crap that many fans were defending.

Dude its baffling isnt it? i really dont believe the fights are fixed,what im puzzled at is how Floyd will be right in front of em and they CANT hit him. I would say the man made a deal with the devil(not arum)

I did see Mayweather lock PAC's arm once ..maybe twice. But he did the exact same thing against Maidana. That's how Floyd clinches, he locks up arms.

But it was interesting...Normally Floyd locks the lead hand... If I recall correctly, he locked Pac's right arm.

So he locked the the same arm he normally does?

[chico malo ali]

Pacquiao is a piece of shyt excuse maker who can't be a man about it and admit he got beat fair and square by money.

Manny said himself he would have landed more if Mayweather stopped moving. So yes Mayweather stopped Pacquiao punching.

Professionals agree that Pacquiao won, even with one arm. ACTUAL professionals with DEGREES and CREDENTIALS. Not the 13 forum trolls who think floyd won.

Reports keep coming out that support this, and also show clear evidence that Pacquiao was 30% going into the fight. He fought because he is a warrior and didnt want to disappoint the people after waiting so long for this. PAC SKIPPED 2-3 weeks of training because of shoulder.

FLOYD was running away from an injured/one armed fighter, that right there tells you who won the fight. HAD Manny NOT been injured, imagine how much more clearly he would have won.

The official decision didnt count, thats a fact, it has a big asterisk next to it, thats why floyd is quiet and cant enjoy it. And the whole world is starting to hear the truth.

Floyd will duck the rematch hard against a healthy Pac. Watch. He knew Pac was having shoulder problems and thats when he tried to make the fight happen.

there really is no need for pac to dwell on the injury....

pac lost the fight of the century in the eyes of all three judges...

some say pac won.....hmmmm

but i believe the fight of the century was a very big dud....

it hurt boxing more....in more ways than the obvious negatives of a dud fight

[KnickTillDeaTh]

These people are so in denial that they are grasping at this shoulder injury with every last bit of strength they can muster, and when that doesnt work they say Mayweather didnt even look that good. Then they say Pac hurt him more times then any opponent, meanwhile mayweather was never really hurt. Delusion + Denial is turning out to be worst then the idiocy that proceeded it.

[noStylez]

Disappointing performance by both, Mayweather didn't put no boxing clinic and Pac didn't put no offensive showing, injured or not this fight had so much hype and ended up being a dud.

[tangalog2200]

Seriously, that was no "schooling". Floyd's performance was average at best. It just means either the five years too late argument is true...or they played us big time.

well, this is one mystery of the so called modern day boxing...

getting points and accolade for running - even looked upon as "smarts"

yes, hit and not get hit is good......but this is boxing....not baseball.......

the man chasing his running opponent got nothing...the man running and not really fighting was given the chocolates...modern boxing? or is this still boxing? i was very happy i did not buy this fight....too expensive for a dud....
