Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Critics Said Pacquiao Was a God, I Beat Him

[DeadLikeMe]

Watching Manny's "superior footwork" amount to little more than ineffectively hopping in place was very satisfying.

Thanks mate, sorry I couldn't catch it straight away.

Floyd moved a lot, manny failed to cut the ring off. Floyd controlled the space, the pace, hit and moved. Some of these guys want Floyd to fight like Brandon rios or mike Alvarado and battle toe to toe. Paulie M moves a lot, lacks power to go toe to toe, blow for blow, but he is a boxer and won a title or two.

As I just started posting my opinions, I don't get it, I just don't understand how boxing fans want a guy to change his style and weaken his best skills?

I feel they can't separate their idealized fantasies of their favorite boxers, and see reality.

I am not just talking PAC fans.

I was in Santa Monica watching Floyd give de la Hoya a boxing lesson, at a big sports bar. There was a big crowd, everything de la Hoya did was greated by cheers. The crowd was obviously pro DLH. But as I said l, I love boxing, my gramps was a boxer. But Floyd won that fight easily. My buddy with me asked me what I thought, and I told him, "Floyd is winning and controlling the fight!" Many people got mad at me, but **** them. An old guy came up to me and thanked me for being objective. I have been a boxing fan for a long long time.

My question is, why is it so hard to reason with fanatics?

you forgot clinched and bent below the waist constantly during the fight in order to control the space and pace. you don't want him to change that? what do people do when they see a guy constantly cheating in order to avoid contact, slow their opponent down, and reset the action. do they just block it out of their minds, do they think it's a good thing? do they start saying things like that's part of boxing or going toe to toe is ******. yes they want him to change his style when it's cheating. sometimes they go overboard and complain for no good reason and sometimes floyd defenders go overboard and defend cheating.

Manny's footwork was quite good. It was clear when Floyd would come forward Manny had the advantage. The reason why Floyd resorted to what he does best, move and pot shot or clinch.

Floyd knew if he came forward Manny would counter, but again Manny went on to be the aggressor and try to make a fight out of it.

The aggressor that somehow managed to throw fewer punches? Yeah. That makes a lot of sense.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) is less than two weeks away from his scheduled defense of the WBC/WBA welterweight titles against Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The September 12th showdown will be carried by Showtime Pay-Per-View.

The bout has drawn a lot of heat on Mayweather, with Berto being such a huge underdog and coming in with a 3-3 ratio in his last six fights.

Mayweather, who says the fight will be the final one of his pro career, selected Berto for his exciting toe to toe performances.

[trainhard_187]

Youre an idiot that watched 2 minutes of the fight and never seen the rest of it you need to take your blinders off , I can show you plenty of times where Manny looked like a piece of crap that couldnt do anything and shouldnt have be in the ring with him , at one point he moved forward and Floyd stepped into him and Manny looked like a penguin in a shoe box , Floyd done things to him where Manny had no clue what to do .

Manny was a total disappointment , lots knew he was going to be outclassed because he was a WW hype job .

Floyd gave Oscar a boxing lesson, ey? My question to you would be, do you swallow or spit? For you to think that, tells me you are a Fanboy. Oscar was a part-time fighter, full-time promoter, and OLD! He still almost upset Floyd who was at his peak and in his PRIME. That fight proved that Floyd was overrated. A prime Hoya wins on points against Floyd, 10 out of 10 times! That's what that fight tells me. He gave Oscar a boxing lesson!?!? YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!
