The pot calling the kettle black! Floyd could be correct, but he's the absolute last person in the boxing industry to make this claim! Imagine Mike Tyson or Osar De La Hoya criticizing Tyson Fury for substance abuse.

well, tyson did criticize pac for making that gay statement, and tyson has been on record saying some **** shit during his time.

Tyson endorsed Donald Trump! Need I say more?

I forgot how ****** people on this forum were.

Don't make boxing complicated buddy. It's not. It's to hit and not get hit.

Too much holding over an injured asian. it only shows his lack of confidence. And skill to oneself.

You find one round Floyd wasn't running and hugging that much makes it concrete lmao.. Pac still tagged him good for 12 rounds and landed the clear and effective punches.

It's not just about the clinching. Is the nature of the clinching that is very foul and not allowed in boxing. (Queens-berry rules) clinching is foul in boxing, but what is even worse is the the nature of a clinching were in..

I respect a guy with a great defense and excellent footwork, but all too often, fans try to say a guy who runs and holds is great at both, when he just isn't. He's holding because he can't fight on the inside. He'd running and leaping away from shots because he has no fundamentals as far as footwork and feinting to put the opponent where he wants them. A lack of knowledge and skill overall, which is annoying to say the least. Derrick Gainer is a prime example of this. Just watch his fight with Marquez. Gainer showed speed but not really any skills or heart for that matter.

A boxer is holding coz his skill is limited. Holding is a desperate act of survival. It's the easiest way to get away from a tight fix. Refs that allow this are either paid off or just plain ****** not to notice this isn't allowed in boxing.

A boxer should try to get away from a pickle by boxing, bobbing, weaving, slip, sliding, rolling with the punches, feinting, countering, while holding is a form of desperation and is very amateur given they are suppose to be Pros. Boxers are expected to fight/punch and block punches with their ability to evade punches through defense and not by lame holding.

Well if you ask most of us who has a rational mind, this hugging contest that Floyd showcased the whole night killed the super fight. I can even call this day light robbery for playing it too safe and turning the match into a zumo match. To some nutt huggers this hugging by Floyd is an atg skill lol It is a High level stuff, that they fool themselves into thinking it's part of the ring IQ to hold your opponent over and over and turn it into a hugging contest lol

Hugging has no business in a super fight. It's about proving your the best and putting a show, sadly FLoyd like a businessman that he is and didn't care about the fans hard earned money and played it too safe. That it left us all with a bad taste in our mouth.



The boos in the arena can be heard from all that hugfest Froid roid had to undertake in the biggest fight of his life.. Pffffft pathetic..

Mayweather Hugging & Running Away from Pacquiao

"A boxer is holding because his skill is limited" hahahahaha , floyd is proly the most skilled boxer alive, next to rigondeaux, a guy with the level of manny pacquiao should have known and been able to fight through the clinches, even green fighters can do that, whether that means roughing up your opponent or fighting dirty, manny and freddie said they had the perfect game plan to beat floyd, because they knew what floyd would do which was "run and hold" , "not engache in a fight" according to freddie roach, so they knew what they were going to face and work with on fight night. It doesnt matter if fans are mad, and it was a waste of money and if "it killed the super fight" , everybody knew that floyd was all about his money, that floyd doesnt care about giving the fans a fight, that floyd only wants to get the win no matter how, and thats exactly what happened, floyd beat manny pacquiao easy, "by clinching and holding" but he beat him, an elite fighter like pacquiao who "had the perfect game plan" should have been able to deal with mayweather's tactics because he was "ready" his "kiler instinct was bacc" "Pac landed the clear and effective punches " hahahahahaha oh' man, you got some boxing to learn, you gotta watch the fight again with your mind not with your heart. the only thing you got right is that "boxing is hit and not get hit", which is exactly what happened may 2, floyd didnt even have to use his full arsenal, with just lefts and rights and effective agression he beat manny, manny was a sitting duck for floyd's right hand all night. but i see what's happening, you're in denial, that's all it is, floyd beat manny easy and everybody saw that, even freddie roach saw it that way,theres only a handfull of people out of the millions that saw the fight that think manny won. Even boxing experts that dont even like floyd gave him the fight, everybody did, "don't make boxing more complicated than it is" , its not , its simple , do whatever you have to, forget about putting on a performance for the fans, dominate and be boring how they call you because in the end you still get the win, which is the only thing that matters. "To much holding over an injured asian" hahahahahaha bro please, dont eat that excuse up, it makes me sad, everybody knew that was manny's excuse for his shetty performance, when you have a "severe tear" a fighter cannot even hold up his arm, let alone fire it with a punch, but then again, its ok, youre in denial,

Retired former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) is not happy with the recent events in boxing. He believes fighters are asking for too much money to step in the ring.

Says he is gonna go to Al Haymon and tell him he is paying fighters too much.

Are Floyd fans in sync with what Mayweather is saying here? What say you?

[al-Xander]

Is Mayweather right or wrong?

[cupcrazy01]

Interesting from Floyd, but he did call HBO's pay "slave wages" 2 or so years before the Gatti fight...

Mayweather, HBO fight over opponent

Interesting quote from Arum in that article though, acknowledging Mayweather would beat Margarito.

[al-Xander]

We need a yes or no poll on this one. Do you agree with Floyd or not?

Mayweather Hugging & Running Away from Pacquiao booed in every hug all documented to the end of time. ***** st?



Lol I give you hard copies of truth in a form of videos and I'm in denial?? Why not open your eyes and see the truth that is obviously is infront you?

It will only get worse as time goes by. Truth is out. Pac connected more punches and not only that the cleaner punches too for 12 rounds.

Hit and not get hit my friend.

Essence of boxing.

Floyd ran and hugged and still was outpointed by Pacquiao.

# truth is out!

TBE?! The Bestrunner Ever!!!Hugging and running is called boxing?!How can you hit Mayweather when he is running fast like a ferrari?!LOL!!! Nothing to be proud of really. All that was an exercise of how to rip of boxing fans of their hard earned money.*

Enjoy you running man boxer.

One thing you can't deny. The consensus about this fight is that it was a stinker of a fight.

DO you blame the guy who came in tried to chase a guy and tried to make the fight exciting as he pushed the action as he chase Floyd from pillar to post? Or the guy who wanted to run, hug, and hide for 12 rounds for an energy diffusing borefest?

What I'm saying is if there is one guy wo needs to redeem himself for his *****ness. It's Floyd. It will always will be. The world felt ripped off for such a low key energy diffusing marathon event. Were in one wanted to fight, and one wanted to escape and went on survival mode in the biggest night of his life.

TO close, I leave you With Nachos thoughts. This should give you perspective of Floyd's actions that night that left us with a stinker of a fight.

Nacho about Floyd: The kid caved. Over defensive on the most important fight of his life.

"He knew he was supported by the judges to give a luck luster fight."

"He (floyd) lost so much credibility"

"the only one throwing punches was Pacquiao"

"how can they gave the rounds to a guy who even looks ridiculous running away scared?"

"or giving hugs to turn off the fight?"




# rematch written all over the place. Floyd needs to redeem himself with this poor display of boxing.


Pacquiao landed MORE punches overall than Mayweather. That alone would probably win most fights BUT Mayweather isn't an offensive fighter (at all) and nobody cares...it's all about his defensive qualities and how he constantly makes guys miss. In this fight, Mayweather only landed 68 of 471 punches thrown which means Pacquaio MADE Mayweather miss ALLLLL night long, while landing 30 more punches than Mayweather. That CAN'T be right...i've missed something right??

May Pac was the worst thing that could happen to boxing, every casual bought that PPV and they realized boxing is Trash, boxing is horrible. You have one small, old guy who tried, and you have one bigger old guy who ran and won one of the worst stinkers in boxing history.
