    I kept telling wifey that Manny one of those check hooks was going to flatten Manny because he kept running into them. Just unimaginative with his attack when Floyd was on the defensive.

      Yup remember that look that Shane Mosley had on his face after Round 1 in the first Winky fight? When he knew that he was getting his ass out boxed the rest of the fight.

      Pac had the SAME look on his face. I knew it was over.

        Floyd had more problem with Zab speed and had to change gears; even Shane he he had to high guard and change gears. With Manny he never left his comfort zone. I had 118-110 with giving Manny benefit of the doubt in the 6th.

          Respect to Carl on that one. Wouldn't think he would be the type to appreciate like that.

            Oh shut the hell up. Disappointing for the Fraud, Manny, sure. Stop with this "both fighters" stuff. Only saying it to take heat off Manny's lackluster performance against a 38 year with fragile hands that doesn't even like boxing anymore.

              When you realize that ZABDANIEL JUDAH did BETTER against a prime Floyd than Manny did against a 38 year old, brittle handed Floyd doesn't even like boxing anymore.

                Roach admitted that Manny avoided slick fighters. I still question how he would have done if he didn't duck Zahir Raheem.

                  Like 85% of the check hooks served a purpose, whether to land or shift Pacquiaos weight to the right in order to escape going left, he may be past it but he's learned to compensate.

                      Mayweather-Corrales was a whooping/beatdown
                      Mayweather-Gatti was a whooping
                      Mayweather-Marquez, Mayweather-Canelo were schoolings
                      Mayweather-Pacquiao was like a clear relative easy decision

                      Idk how to state it. It wasn't as one sided as Marquez or Canelo, but it certainly wasn't as close as Castillo or Maidana I, and though the scores were fairly the same probably, it wasn't nearly as competitive physically as Mayweather-Cotto.
