Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says He Was "Bored" By Mayweather Bout

[SUBZER0ED]

Pacquiao's my boy and all, but watching Mayweather vs Berto was almost as boring as watching Mayweather vs Pacquiao. The big difference is, I expected the outcome of the former, but was terribly disappointed & utterly disgusted by the outcome of the latter.

This is such BS that it requires a response. Clowns like you want Floyd to risk losing instead of asking the other guy to risk winning. whoever is losing needs to do whatever they can to win.

If Floyd is behind on the cards (like he was Maidana 1 and Castillo 1) and doesn't fight to win, its not on whoever is ahead to try and KO Floyd its on Floyd to fight harder and take risks to get the win.

The reason Maidana 1 and Castillo 1 were exciting was the same reason the cotto and hatton fights were exciting-the guy losing on the cards kept fighting hard and stepped it up to try and win.

The reason the canelo, guerrero and Manny fights ****** is because the guy trailing never went balls out to win.

I understand your reasoning to some degree, Dunn, but let's not forget, it was a fight that these two men were in. When Floyd had Andre hurt in the last 15-20 seconds of the fight, then backed off and danced around after hearing the 10 second warning, didn't you feel at least a little disappointed that he didn't finish with a ****?

I see your point. But it's not like Floyd takes the fight to anyone. Fact is, there are still two people in there. To say that Floyd doesn't need to do anything is nonsense.

Now you can say well thats how Floyd fights and everyone who is watching should know that he's all defense. Personally I have never paid to watch him fight because he's boring. But I respect his talent and all hes done for boxing.

I didn't say that at all. You are avoiding the specific points made because in your heart you know I am correct-the loser stepping up to try and win when getting blown out makes a boring fight more exciting.

Floyd isn't all defense, he is just one of the 2 or 3 best ever at it. If you do not pay for his fights, ok. Another "fan" that illegally streams fights or doesn't watch them live.

Showboating in his last seconds of a win is something a lot of fighters do man, come on.

I do not base excitement on a KO finish. For me excitement is the drama of a comeback win or a close fight, regardless of how it ends. "closing the show" sounds good, except when "closing the show" requires risking losing.

Do some of Floyd's fights lack drama? yes. Is it on Floyd to make that drama? Yes, if he is losing the fight.

I get that a lot of people that do not like Floyd wish he fought in a wreckless style because him losing would be more likely.

Oh well Pacman has like 1 fight left himself. It's over. He had his shot.

The new era is dawning..

Agreed, Floyd fans are livid that Pacquiao said the fight was boring and they also mad and salty as fuq that Oscar said its finally the end to a horrible era of boxing
These Floyd fans are so incredibly upset.

^^LMAO.. The funny thing is that Berto actually came forward most of the fight, enticing Mayweather to throw combinations and provide some action, making the fight a better fight in my opinion.

The sad thing that people just can't seem to understand..Is that no matter who this guy fights, he turns them into what he wants them to be. He completely negates their unique ability in the ring, and makes them play Chess.

I'd love to see people stop being upset at Mayweather; we know what he is going to bring to the fight day in and day out...Start getting mad at his opposition. A lot could be learned from Robert Garcia's strategy with Marcos Maidana, although I strongly feel Floyd allowed it to go that way early in the fight and underestimated and didn't properly anticipate his Game plan.

It's hard to get mad @ Berto. He's @ least 2 inches shorter than Floyd, and has a reach that is @ least 3.5 inches shorter. Combine those stats with Floyd running around & it's easy to see how very hard it would be for Berto to reach him.

No lol, the fact Floyd ducked Amir Khan of all people is the problem!
Amir Khan is by far more entertaining than Andre Berto and you know Khan would have likely took the fight right to Floyd but obviously Floyd knows he can't knock out a chinny opponent haha, pathetic isn't it?

I don't think that Floyd finishing with a **** against Berto would have been reckless. In fact, I was surprised @ how easily he rocked him. We all know how Floyd can be there and yet not be there, so he could have still ended safely without running away @ the end. Showboating is better appreciated after a fighter has struggled at some point in the fight, then fought valiantly to take charge. Floyd's showboating disappointed me, not because I hoped Berto would catch him, but because I felt Floyd could have quieted his critics by ******* Berto up a bit, if not Ko'ing him. It would have stated for me that Floyd was toying with him & could kick his ass @ any time.
