    Fear is not real and once a person realizes it they actually see how great they truly are in life, but as a fan and as the year ends i thought i would make this post just to clear the air. God bless you all and happy holidays
    Are you ****ing ******ed? Fear is not real?

    Actually, this whole post is ******ed and the reason behind it is as well. Get Floyd's d!ck outta your throat already, dawg.

      This...he was tight and he fought scared and that is exactly what I was telling my friends when watching the fight. I actually had the fight closer than a lot of people did, for me Floyd pulled away after 8. Before the fight I thought Floyd would eventually show to be the puncher and start taking Pacquiao apart...I was wrong. He couldn't manage that, Manny was too dangerous and actually hurt Floyd with shots which were not particular hard Manny Pacquiao punches. I think Floyd fought the right fight in the end and I actually thought Manny fought a really good fight for 8 rounds (I know I am in the minority).

      People for some reason tried to cast Pacquiao in the role of volume pressure fighter with awesome power, speed, and aggressiveness...this is not Manny Pacquiao. He is a boxer puncher with awesome speed, power, and extremely underrated boxing ability, can he be aggressive? Yes in patches, and if you stand still or come at him he will also throw extreme volume without getting tired. Floyd was never going to do either, so it was always a moot point. People have tried to bum rush Floyd and it doesn't work because when you stay in range he will start slipping and sliding and outscoring you, so I am not sure why everyone thought that is what Manny would do, he is a long range fighter who jumps in and out of range. The most impressive thing Manny did in this fight was actually get the better of Floyd in some rounds boxing FROM THE OUTSIDE. I think in years to come people will realise that Manny didn't fight all that badly, Floyd was just better and maybe one natural weight class bigger too.

        The lengths people go to discredit Floyd are just embarrassing.

        He fought him and he won. Many still can't deal with that. Calling a professional boxer who's been in with some of the scariest dudes on the planet a coward is remarkably ******.

        There's a degree of fear in every boxer for almost every fight. It's a pretty dangerous sport.

          I dont think he was scared. I think he was smart, marketing wise and health wise. I was the only guy in our circle who said Manny could never beat Floyd even when he was knocking everyone out.

            And why does everyone just assume Manny would win a brawl. The one thing i learned from watching FMJ fights is that if you force him to fight he will. Maybe people should start questioning how scared Manny was on fight night. I didnt see him attacking with wreckless abandon.

                  the only reason Floyd was able to face his fears(of pac) was because of what jmm did to pac, real talk!

                    True. Manny had already been knocked out. But lets not forget how people were still saying Floyd wouldnt fight him and he was still scared. If I'm not mistaken Floyd is the reason the fight got made in the end.
