Comments Thread For: Mayweather Vows 'A lot More Excitement' Than Pacquiao Fight

[H-Tok]

In 49 fights he's never delivered anything exciting, can't see how this one will be any different. I anticipate a lot of boos from the restless crowd who will once again be duped.

You're obviously not a fan of boxing if that's what you believe.

Floyd wins on points or Conor sparks him out early as he has predicted. They both talked a lot of trash but the actions will speak louder.

False comments you have there....SMH....goes to show....

Floyd is a boring fighter. I'm not the first one to point this out. Many other boxing and sports journalists have made the same claim, many other boxers and fans as well. Not my fault you are easily entertained.

skill level of conor is the difference here. his last 49 fights were against ALL pro boxers.

i dont care how good of a fighter conor is in the ufc, he is not beating floyd in a boxing match. you guys will see the difference in the skill level between the 2.

Well, that proves my point even further. Conor has no business being in the ring with Floyd, outside of the business of boxing, which is not exciting. This will be a joke of a mismatch and anyone who purchases it will have buyers remorse soon after. Some people never learn.

Actually, I am a fan of boxing. This is not boxing, this is a circus event for casuals such as yourself. Enjoy the "show".

The problem with the Pac fight was that nobody wanted to see a chess match. People wanted a the "fight of the century" to be one of those legendary bouts that we still talk about today. Instead we got a play it safe fight from Floyd and a cautious unsure Manny which in turn produced an absolute undeniable dud.

Manny tried to make it a fight but Floyd wouldnt engage. -And thats not a knock on Floyd but it just didnt make for an entertaining night. Floyd could have reverted back to his Pretty Boy Floyd days took more risks and still in my opinion would have won the fight simply because he had all the physical advantages besides maybe punching power.

Manny could have thrown caution to the wind and just go out swinging but that is much easier said than done. Floyd makes it damn near impossible to cut off the ring and Manny has always had a bad habit of chasing instead of cutting off the ring. The times he was able to Floyd tied him up.

Manny was also very unsure of himself. He was anticipating counters when there were none and would give floyd enough time to time him coming in. His best successes came when he punched WITH Floyd as floyd was unable to defend and throw simultaneously. Ill never forget when he buzzed Floyd in the 4th with a hard left, threw a good combo on the ropes and then just completely backed off.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Before floyd went up to 147 and 154 and before he started breaking his hands he used to let his hands go. He turned into a defense first fighter after he went up in weight. Go check out floyd vs gatti or vs corrales. You should not talk if you dont know what you are talking about clown.

Gatti and Corrales...thanks for making my point. Two, flat-footed brawlers whose styles were tailor made for Floyd. Floyd himself said Gatti was a C-rate fighter before fighting him, yet his fans want to brag about that win. It doesn't take a defensive genius to outbox either of those two. And, to further prove my point, neither Gatti or Corrales were elite level fighters.

Floyd is saying he's lost a few steps so we'll just have to wait and see.......knowing full well this is the easiest money he will EVER earn in a boxing ring.

Take it for what it is .....a joke.

[johnnyblazz]

The fight vs. #48 was a good tactical match up, especially when Floyd hit him clean in the 1st round & made manny think twice about rushing in which is why we had the fight we had. Only haters talk that ish....It was a good fight not the best that's all but all the haters keep bashing it. No respect.

I actually agree that it was a more competitive fight than the average casual fan could see. Floyd clearly won, but Pacq gave him fits with his awkwardness and his straight left counters, and he even caught him with a good right that made Floyd reset until he got his feet back. There was never really a period in the fight where Floyd looked comfortable and was getting into grove as he usually does against other fighters.
