    Floyd Sr gave some great advice during the Big Fight.

    Alot of people question Floyd Sr as a trainer, his intelligence, and general competency.
    After watching the fight probably for the tenth time Big Floyd was telling Jr the right things.

    I cant question Jr IQ in the ring, he is one of the best ever. Pacman lost a lot of rounds waiting in the punching pocket waiting to counter. Big Floyd wanted Jr to follow up with the left hook or uppercut after he lands.

    If Money was able to execute the plan like I think he is capable of, there would have been no controversy. I personally think Floyd won convincingly but could have done more to close the show(not necessarily a ko).

    As far as Pac mans right shoulder: Watch the sixth round where he threw many killer right hooks and won that round clearly.

    Floyd apparently had hurt hands; whether the strategy was sound or not, it isn't all that easy to string combination after combination together when your hands aren't responding right.

        I noticed that too live during the fight. The right hand was there for him all nite. I can understand why casuals might be turned off by the fight. Without Floyd putting the exclamation point on the fight, he made it seem too easy.

        Pac man need to have more pride too. Floyd has made people look bad before but that didnt seem like an honest effort.

          Well, Floyd was ignoring his pleas to stop "fighting scared" and he still won. One should know that being scared is the greatest asset to avoid danger!

            Theres a big difference in being scared and running like a little girl. Mayweather had an injured opponent fighting in pain yet Mayweather STILL RAN!!!! Here Floyd supper time

              lol, if anything his dumbass was advising his son the opposite, to let his hands go and walk pac down, fortunately enough jr knew right away he wasn't fighting the same southpaws he's used to fighting. I mean he had to use his mma skills coz his boxing wouldn't have been enough to beat a ****ty version of pac.

              this crackhead will never win a trainer of the year award in his lifetime, he sucks

                There is no controversy. Well only in the minds of some really dense posters.

                  Sr knew that pac was outboxing floyd in rounds 6-10and landing the cleaner harder punches, that is until after the decision was announced and his confidence suddenly came flooding back.
