Comments Thread For: Breaking Down Kellerman's Speech on Manny Pacquiao

[SweetPbfAli]

Having been labeled both a 'flo**' and a 'Pac****'.......Kellerman is wrong. Either you have the injury and report it, possibly postponing the fight (nothing wrong with Sept or next May even)........or you fight through it and don't make excuses on the way out.

Can't have it both ways. Pacquiao won two rounds. Two judges were generous.

Mayweather CLEARLY won easily.......he made Manny look sub-par. The shoulder excuse, if valid, is all fine and good......but the only thing that would have given Pac a chance in this fight would have been using his footwork to apply pressure. That was nullified by Mayweather's own hand and foot-speed, which were at least on par with Manny's and were under-rated going in IMO.

He couldn't get inside, he coudln't get angles, he couldn't do much of anything..........and Floyd should get the credit for that.

I don't know which fanatical side of fans are worse. I have my own opinion. But in this case, Manny was clearly outboxed. I haven't seen a Pacquiao fan give Floyd any real props, for holding the offensive machine to under 7 punches per round landed, he's still being called a coward, and all because he did his job.

Pacquiao, on the other hand, if injured, decided to take the money and run, and made an excuse in the hopes of keeping 'rematch' talk alive when 1-He knows he won't take the 25-30% he'll be lucky if he's offered, 2-The result will be the same even if he were allowed 3 good arms.

He couldn't get inside. He buzzed Mayweather one time. That's it. I lost a lot of respect for the fighter and his fans disgust me (talking about Pacquiao only fans, not boxing fans who prefer Pacquiao).

Everyone knows what Floyd is going to do. As much as everyone complains, he still sells more PPV buys than anyone EVER. Why assume he would do something different?

He could have had KO's in several recent fights and I even believe if he'd really been into making statements, could have gotten one here. That's just not him.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE FLOYD FIGHT AN EXCITING FIGHT, FORCE HIM TO DO IT. THAT'S WHAT PAC WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING TO THE RING. INJURY OR NOT, HE FAILED. AND HE WAS THROWING HIS RH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE 12TH. IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, HE COULD HAVE USED IT MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH FEINTS AND TO SET TRAPS........HE WAS OUT-THOUGHT AND OUT-FOUGHT.........

FOR THE LOVE OF THE BOXING GODS, CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ON? FLOYD AND MANNY ARE DONE........THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT FIGHERS COMING UP......CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT THESE TWO? THERE WAS REASON BEFORE. THEY HADN'T FOUGHT. NOW THEY HAVE. BUY THE SHOULDER INJURY OR NOT, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE OUTCOME OR SCORING.......

PLEASE LET'S DISCUSS SOMETHING ELSE??

Well said.

Max got it right and Manny's career is all you need to look at for proof. He has, his entire career stepped up to fight bigger men. He's never ducked anybody and he's never made excuses. he's never insisted on favorable catch weights, he's never waited for somebody to get old, he's never waited until somebody was beat up,he's never insisted on moronic over the top testing and he's never insisted on specific apparel. In short he's never been Floyd. He's manned up his entire career. While Floyd hid in the corners like a rat waiting to steal something Manny has stood up and fought. If Floyd wants to see what a real fighter looks like he should watch the Canelo fight. All time greats take guys out! it makes it clear who is dominant. Not sissy punching and dancing and hugging in yet another snooze fest to rob the public of the price of admission yet again. All time greats take care of business, all time " aint's " dance and hug and hide for a decision from the opening bell. TBE???? I don't think so......

One catchweight fight with Margarito and a bunch of catchweight fights where he was calling out fighters from lower weights does not equal a career filled with "stepping up to fight bigger men". I know "you guys" like to fantasize about Bruce Lee but this is ridiculous..

All over the place with this #48 fan business.. clowns, all of them.

Read the whole article twice.. my conclusion: americans speak, read and write a different type of english.

I Seriously missed the point of the article. Is it a kellerman bash or praise?

Lylenfitzgerald talked and talked his way around the point failing to deliver the point on time i fell asleep

Although i understand the words used i cant understand what the **** he was saying.

Poorly written article.

[big_james10]

Will one of the fans of #48 please answer a question for me. Who was it who made the comment ater the fight in regards to the shoulder injury: "I was lying yesterday. Today I am telling the truth."

Was it Bob Arum, Michael Koncz, Manny Pacquaio or Freddie Roach?

Your are not taking no one sides but as you know the world consist of people with their idol's. Some other people are fans of a sport (say boxing) . Some people take it to the extreme some people are casual.

Max, let me introduce a new word to you. (incase you haven't heard of it) It's called

F L O M O! or F L O M O S

It basically refers to a one way, narrow minded, fan boy, ball licker in a nutshell. and of course s#it for Brains..

Why..

Because of the way Mayweather fans act when ever you say anything against thier idol. You are considered the enemy. Or because you acknowledge fact rather than exaggeration. You are a realist, none band wagon commentator.

I love what you do for the boxing world Max.
Have fun when you encounter a F L O M O (S)

Why do i get the feeling that you believe you are personally performing a service for manny pacquiao by responding to every post in this thread? it's not your job d1ckhead...log off.

Manny lost fair and square. But as for the bi.tching and complaining about his so called excuses.......well ive never heard him once complain about his losses before, even when he was robbed in the 1st Bradley fight. So ill give him a pass on the shoulder/rotator cuff.

Here's Manny Pacquiao "NOT" complaining about his loss to Morales. Not complaining at all or making excuses.......

Hey now, not ALL Americans mate, just Pro-Mayweather Lyle always goes all Shakespearean especially when it comes to defending Floyd...wow really? he made you fall asleep, huh? ...Guess that means he even has THAT in common with Mayweather!....

P.S., gotta hand it to you Brits, Elizabeth Hurley and Newcastle!

[livershot73]

Wow. You have one hell of an argument here!

Mayweather wouldn't stand still and let me hit him

That one made me literally laugh out loud....

Pacquiao and his team are pathetic and a disgrace to boxing. He was better off not mentioning the injury at all like he already did on his paper work anyway. His shoulder looked perfect fine during the fight. Didn't favor it one time. Didn't mention it one time in the post fight interview and even foolishly said he thought he won the fight. Then in the post fight conference claimed his performance was poor because of his shoulder. Now if he won the fight what's the need to explain a poor performance?

This man is a coward and he don't fly straight. He wanted to take that 80 mil and I wasn't mad at that. But his unwillingness to admit that Mayweather is just the better fighter at least on that night and his insistence on blaming his performance on his shoulder should lose him all respect of any boxing fan. I wouldve rather he said nothing about his shoulder and take the loss and ask for a rematch then. Instead he made it impossible by telling lies and making excuses. All while screwing the fans out of their money and laughing to the bank. This guy is a fraud and a scumbag. And his team is not far behind.

What did Roy Jones Jr. said after?????? Does anyone have the full interview?
