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

[IronDanHamza]

So in other words Floyd is saying him>>>God

[The Big Dunn]

Can we stop pretending Floyd won 12-0 and Pac gave him no trouble? It's starting to remind me how people have warped the Castillo rematch into this 12-0 outclassing that didn't actually happen.

Yes, Mayweather won. Yes, he won 9 rounds or so. No, it was not this pathetically easy fight where he looked great and Pac looked awful. Both looked awful. It was not easier than Alvarez. It was not easier than Guerrero. It was only easier than Mosley because of one punch by Mosley.

Also, Floyd's an idiot to try so hard to discredit what is easily the best win of his career. You beat Pacquiao. You have nothing left to prove. That's all you need to say. Stop trying to tear down your biggest win to make your last fight look better.

Other than that I didn't give Floyd 9 or so rounds I completely agree with this post. Including the bit on the Castillo rematch which I believe was way more competitive than posters on this forum seem to remember. People wanted to see something that just wasn't happening in the Pac fight I guess, because they came here afterwards acting like Mayweather pitched the sickest shutout.

It was and continues to be ridiculous what fan boys of both sides are saying lately.

With all due respect to both of you, Most Floyd fans are not acting like it was a shutout so please stop exaggerating. one judge had the fight 10-2. That is a blowout.

Some of us saw it that way and its reasonable given how the fight played out.I agree it wasn't a shutout as Manny clearly won 3 rounds IMO.

The outcome of the fight was never in doubt from very early on as Floyd nullified Manny's offense from round 1, except for round 4 where Manny did hurt him and round 6 and 9.

What most Floyd fans are saying is that the fight showed a clear, wide gap between the two. I think that is a reasonable opinion to have based on how this fight played out.

Like the guy above you who claims Pac only landed punches in round 4.

Holy hell Lmao.

To me there is little point in talking about the fight anymore, (EDIT: Not all, but many) people have decided to believe whatever they are going to believe. You have some acting like Pac got robbed blind and others acting like Pac landed one punch the whole fight. I've never seen another fight discussed in as embarrassingly dishonest or deluded a fashion on both sides as I've seen this one discussed.

It was not even a close fight and it was all Pacman's fault. You have to hold people accountable for their rhetoric. Pacman and Freddie were talking hand speed, footwork, and KO for years and he laid a historic egg. What fight were you watching? Floyd out threw AND out landed Pacman. Any nonsense about running is just that, nonsense. He was standing right in front of Pacquiao the whole night and Pacquiao couldn't hit a thing except for round 4. So much for the offensive powerhouse of Pacquiao... For all the talk about Pacman being able to challenge Floyd he was just flat and looked like an infant trying to solve a rubik's cube. It was easily one of Floyd's easiest fights.

Interesting point about rhetoric. Deveel916 and others are quick to chastise Floyd and his team for calling floyd "TBE" yet are spreading blame around for the May 2nd performance yet not holding Manny to what he and his team said.

Pac was God, and they said Mayweather was the Devil. Evil prevailed.

True. A couple posters here may still have their " May Devil and Pac God" sigs and avis still up

You mean like when Floyd claims in every fight that its going to be a toe to toe war and does the exact opposite?"

[Fook That BOY]

Floyd Jr had a nightmare everynight. Dreaming of Manny in front of him!

What does one judge having a wide card mean? I'm sure you can think of many competitive fights where one judge scored a blowout in the face of two judges that had competitive cards, along with most of the media scorers. (Or a blowout with one judge seeing a competitive fight) That isn't evidence of a whole lot on it's own.

I won't say most but many people, including posters in this thread, have said things like 118-110 or wider are the only accurate cards and everyone else is a nut hugger. That's an example of being deluded about the success that Mayweather had in the fight. (And he there was success, I'm not ignoring that completely) The posters that discuss things reasonably, even if they disagree with my opinion, I don't really have a problem with. It's the asinine **** that some posters seem to basically be copy and pasting into every May/Pac thread, about a master class or about a conspiracy theory, that annoys me.

I really can't wait till Cotto/Canelo so that this forum will hopefully have more active non-Mayweather threads.

Floyd Waited 6 Yrs To Catch Pacquiao Past His Prime

He waited until Mosley was 40, and well past his prime. He made Cotto wait more than ten years and too many wars to fight. Wouldn't fight Sergio Martinez in his prime at 160, as Leonard, Hearns and Duran all challnged Hagler. Floyd is a weasel; he's strategic about WHO he fights and WHEN. Gutless.
