Yeah remember when Ortiz threw a flying headbutt at Mayweather that could have ended his career and all people cared about was Floyd's "sucker punch" that came after
For years on this very forum and throughout boxing media wasn't the word and agreed tactic to beat Floyd was fight him rough, dirty, bend the rules? Hit him in his arms, shoulders, try to get him to break his hands, foul, lowblows, headbutt if necessary, use elbows if necessary?
Stay in close, mug him, grab him, hit him with flying knees?? They even identified the fighters who could best do this to Floyd, guys like Margarito, prime Chavez, etc...and when Maidana fought Floyd and did precisely what the fans demanded, (foul, knee, rabbit punch, arms, legs, tackles, etc...) these fans celebrated the effort and argued for years that Maidana should of won the fight!!
Reality is Floyd took over that fight after the 5th but that was ignored in preference of Maidana's fouls! So this guy Jeff Horn does those exact tactics against Manny, Makes his life hell, and successfully earns the victory and now they want to protest, complain, and claim he should of been DQ'd! So dirty tactics are only acceptable against Floyd but if its done to Manny its wrong? This is why I have issues with extreme Pac fans, something is wrong with ya'll eyes and minds
I had no problem with maidanas tactics that time since I enjoyed watching floyd fight back, picking up the pace and digging deep offensively to win. Thats was either 9-3 or 8-4 to me.
I had no problem with horn either lol! But pac is just way to faded compare to floyd when he fought maidana.
Ward fought great as well, but the ending was just wrong..
Floyd's sucker punch is BS though, and he suffered more for it
Floyd doesn't hold, Floyd doesn't use his elbows, Floyd doesn't use his forearms to push opponents heads, you guys are clowns
So all you got to do is fight rough against Pac and u win! He'll cry to the ref, call for the ringside doctor, totally forget his game plan if he gets head butt, and won't do anything to protect himself from fouls?!
Sounds like a recipe for disaster for Pac, he might want to work on those weaknesses

Im cool with you larry but cmon, here we go again with this simple explanation, it doesn't take a genius to know that mayweather style ages well, and wins longevity each time ala hopkins.
pac's style is a young man's game. And yes he didnt try to evolve when he shouldve
