Comments Thread For: Calzaghe: Pacquiao Allowed Mayweather To Dictate Pace

[johnm is...]

Floyd did not win that fight, reason why everybody was booing and that's his boxing legacy.

A bunch of Pacquiao fans booing Mayweather means he didn't win.

A bunch of boxing trainers, current and former boxers saying that Mayweather won, means nothing.

Seems legit.

[Weebler I]

Joe's analysis is right; Floyd won the fight. I just cannot see how anybody had Manny winning (especially as Manny said his shoulder was injured early on in the fight). If we believe what Manny said about his shoulder, then those who believe that Manny won the fight must believe that Manny beat Floyd despite his (Manny) having a severe shoulder injury for two thirds of the fight which then required post fight surgery.

Calzaghe actually said it was close, just a couple of rounds in it.

Not sure if Rahim wrote this article, but Calzaghe said it to him in their interview together.

JC wasn't one of the people saying it was one-sided.

Floyd makes it hard to catch him, but then Floyd isnt really giving any punishment out, there is no commitment in the punches. A lot of his punches shouldnt score.

If a punch isnt thrown with bad intentions it is basically for show and no go.Because if a punch isnt going to hurt me, why would i even try stop it landing on me?

Not every punch that lands should have knock out written on it. That's ******. And only someone who's never been in the ring things 'pot shots' don't cause damage over a 12 round period. You don't see anybody just running at Floyd with their hands down do you? No, the guy can hit. He's not Thurman but he's got sting and everyone knows that.

I've always been a fan of giving close rounds to the aggressor.. because simply without that? there would of been a bigger snoozefest.. I mean I don't understand why some of these posters have Mayweather on some kind of pedestal, like he's really TBE?? just look at his style? it's easy to beat opponents backing up and forcing them into setting up punches, catch them with one and move.. I mean i bet if marquez would of just sat back it would of not been one sided.. it's easy to pot shot.. but that's not boxing.. clinching or "tactical holding" as mayweather fans say, is not boxing.. Boxing was built on skills, wills, thrills, best vs best, fan friendly fights... that's why people pay to see.. not some Olympian picking on overmatched opponents, putting everything in his favor, and to top off have a manager who has judges/commissions in his pockets.. not tha arum is any better doe...

what damage? i mean Floyd's opponents look just as clean as they did before the fights.. or am i wrong.. and when i talk about pot shotting.. i say it as in he's just given too much credit for so few pittty pat shots.. if like you say pot shots caused damage? where are the legitimate ko's? bruises? bumps? DAMAGE?

Manny still lost. Get over it people. The world is not going to end....maybe for some

[MrP4P]

Still? Fighter after fighter. Trainer after trainer all say the same thing. And there are still guys like you out there saying he didn't win. Do a quick scroll though the Boxing Scene archives, read the headlines and articles of opinions on that fight and then think about why anyone should believe you over these professional and reputable people in the sport. Not to mention our own eyes.

But Holyfield said Pacquiao won doe

Calzaghe said Pacquiao had a good fourth and fifth LOL...

5th round was Pacquiao's worst round in the entire fight..so much for his "expert" analysis...

Calzaghe is falling for the same propaganda that puts the burden on Manny to carry the fight...

Floyd isn't expected to have to fight..he just has to be able to NOT get dominated in the round to win...

It's actually not that hard to survive 12 rounds in boxing when you run and clinch the entire fight..**** Lacy got the 12 with Calzaghe and that was after taking a beating...

Think YOU fell for the propaganda that Pacquiao was ever a challenge for Floyd. The backlash Manny is getting is because people are upset that they believed in the hype, he was supposed to be the one.

Sorry but thats just ******

So whats the point of a fight? They should just determine at the weight in which fighter has more power and declare that fighter the winner ahead of time, of power is going to be the determining factor.

Sorry that was just ******
