Here is my take on the "Fight of the Century".

[In Motion]

You're salty as **** though.

Manny's a C rate brawler who can't adjust. He's a media hyped creation, nothing more.

The fight was a dud, didn't live up to the hype...If Pacs team new he was injured they should have mentioned it and delayed the fight...especially for this super fight it wouldn't have mattered what the date of the fight was...it would sell regardless.

Pac looked horrid, flat footed...Floyd looked horrible and slow...the right guy won but clearly both are past it.

[joesaiditstrue]

I for one understand Pac-Boy's frustration, both guys didn't do much, neither guy took risks. Hell, Mayweather landed the fewest number of punches in his entire career of title-fights. Against a guy people said he would counter the **** out of all night long. Come on. Both guys looked terrible, it's just that one guy looked worse than the other.

With that said, you can't gloss over Floyd's win like it never happened, or that Floyd made Manny choose not to be more aggressive. It's on Pacquiao and his advisors if they decided it was wise to fight the best fighter on the planet at 60% or whatever his shoulder was at.

The fans lost saturday, especially those like me who actually paid for the PPV and didn't ask for any money from the friends who I had over. Guess it was for the best, if I charged them for that **** they'd probably never talk to me again. lmao

Yeah, he's a C rate brawler that's why mayweather was so cautious with the guy, and kept him at the end of his jab.

(...) Landing 81 punches Vs a fighter running and holding. This fight ******. Manny ******. (...)

This -- in a nutshell...

Those who were leaning towards Pac normally waited to see volume and speed... Instead, Pac delivered the lowest work rate ever (under 36 punches thrown per round) and Floyd did was he was supposed to do, what he always does. Injured or not, Pac would have had fought the fight of his life, which he didn't -- Pac only chose to grab the huge payday while delivering a most disappointing performance.

Great post mate It sucks pac couldn't perform as we expected.
regardless I enjoyed it as it was the best vs best even if pacs performance was hindered

[!! Shawn]

only casual fans would be unhappy with the fight, floyd fought a technical fight like he always does.

Floyds fight was not Technical. Lomchenko's fight was technical. Floyd just used his reach and range and did one thing at a time. It wasn't a technical fight, it wasn't a chess mach, it was just a boring fight.

I love a chess match, I mean ****, my favorite fighter if Guillermo Rigondeaux... That was not a technical fight... just boring.

People need to learn to separate the slow technical fights from fights were nothing happens. This was just a fight where nothing happened.

EXACTLY.

Floyd basically used his reach and Manny couldn't deal with it. And made the fight as boring as possible by limiting the exchanges by back pedaling and clinching.

This was no "technical mastery" or schooling. This was one fighter using a physical advantage and the opponent unable to deal with it.

Does it make it less of a victory? Of course not. It's all part of the game. Floyd used an advantage to win. Any fighter would have done the same if they are going for the win.

i dont know what people expected

ive been saying this would be a boring disappointing fight every couple posts since i made my account

you can write a zillion tmz articles about a pair of fighters and have all these old cigar/fedora guys talk about all time greatness

it doesn't mean it isn't a deathly boring fight... it's a mayweather fight
