Comments Thread For: Trout: Maidana Did Better Than Pacquiao With Floyd

[b00g13man]

Its a different fight. Floyd exchanges with Maidana I fight but moves alot against Pacquiao. People *****ing about Pacquiao Performance and forgot what actually Floyd do to warrant his win (almost nothing)

After rewatching the fight without the bias commentating. Most of Floyd's best punch were actually blocked by Pacquiao and the high percentage of his jab were actually evaded. And there are so many clean punches by Pacquiao that the commentary didn't even mention at all.

"Almost nothing" was enough to outclass #48. What does that tell you?

Mayweather said himself, "Maidana is an A-level fighter."

I thought pacquiao vs mayweather was very close..much more so than any floyd fight except Castillo 1 ,Oscar delanhoya, and cotto.
I don't know what trout saw but then again he got whooped by Canelo who floyd washed.

Yeah, alright we hear you Spoon.

As the big Floyd fan, that's what you want to emphasize. Not that Mayweather also had a career low output all across the board. He was content with just doing enough to secure his usual points decision victory. His Dad wanted him to press the action, the crowd wanted him to press the action. Yet somehow it's all Pacquiao's fault right? The fault lies on both boxers. They both robbed us of a good fight. Not just Pacquiao. Floyd fans need to own up to this. Yes, you guys got the W but at least admit Floyd could have also done more for the fans.

If Mayweather sat down and ran combinations on Pac, he would have gotten slumped. Every time Mayweather stood in the pocket Pacquiao chin checked him.

If. An exercise in futility.

Obviously, credit to roberto garcia who implement a very very good game plan. Maidana followed it perfectly not so much the 2nd fight doe because he came in too big.

Maidana came in lighter in the rematch.

True. Pacquiao did much better than most people think and arguably won the fight too. His defence were superb (bobbing and weaving, parrying punches, and how well he used his high guard when Floyd opens up and attack him). There are so many subtle things that Pacquiao did in the fight that we didn't saw in live. I suggest you rewatch the fight in slow motion.

Unfortunately for Pacquiao the commentary that night was biased. Add the imcompetent referee (lol no point deduction at all) and the blind judges who scored too wide.

Trout saying Pacquiao gave up in the middle rounds is off-base, he won rounds 9 & 10 (confirmed by the Vegas judges).

All these guys backing Floyd like automated zombies when Floyd's out there betting on them to get KO'd then posting it publicly with no thought for them at all. They're being sycophants for someone who wouldn't pi$$ on them if they were on fire.

What else are you gonna do with your time when you're a 30-year-old living with your mom in the hood on foodstamps but live vicariously through another man. And celebrate another man's victories as if they were your own.

Mayweather ballin, we ballin. Mayweather made 275 million, we made 275 mil. Get that money champ.

I think the fans, and Pacquiao would have both preferred Floyd fight a Maidana 1 type fight. But he chose not to, and with good reason. Worked out for him.

I don't think anyone questioned who the better boxer is/was. No one was banking on Manny to outbox Floyd.

Freddie Roach claimed that they were going to out-point Mayweather every round. He truly believed Pacquiao was capable of this. Many "fans" were too.
