    this fight was bashed to bits because it was so "boring" (which basically means pacroid couldn't touch floyd) but yet these same idiots wanna see it again ..

    pacroid has unfinished business with jeff horn

      I don’t see any reason for it not to happen.
      Because the first fight wasn't close. He left the sport on his terms. he fought on his terms. That's a success. No need to come back. We know why Manny wants the fight. He lost a wide decision

        pac landed the much cleaner harder punches. thats not really in dispute. you could say floyds amazing grazing jab won him the fight or something silly like that but pac had the quality. floyd had no leverage the whole fight. falling off balance push hooks that make no impact? please. pathetic. and from the greatest counter puncher ever?

          floyds own corner told him he was losing after 10 rounds but yeah maybe that was just to motivate him right? or maybe they could see floyd was coming up almost empty in the clean punching department while manny was snapping his head around and getting leverage on his shots unlike off balance floyd.

          floyd knows it was a hard fight in which he was very lucky to get the decision. he wasnt able to do anything he normally does well. lead punches? almost non existent. effective counter punches? almost non existent. slipping and rolling? almost non existent. basically all he did was throw an ineffective jab and try to tie up/bend over constanttly to prevent pac from overwhelming him which he did, but he didnt do much quality work in the process.

          you should wathc it again but pay attention to if floyds punches are even landing clean and how hard the clean ones do land. then when you compare his work to his opponents...well then you should get your conclusion but for some reason when the names pac and floyd are inserted into scoring a fight all that goes out the window.

              u cant have it both ways. if the fight was the most boring sh.it of all time why the demand to see it again?? if pacroid was supposedly washed up in 2015 is he now gonna be "prime" in 2020? i dont get it.

              as far as the fight itself we all know what "boring" really means.. It means floyd was cruising and not taking a beating. manny was taken to school. he won 2 rounds being generous. a one sided fight like that doesn't warrant a rematch.

              what you should be telling pacroid to do instead is to redeem himself against jeff horn.

                did pac take a beating from floyd? thats not how you score boxing. its based on punches. not one guy having to beat the other to a pulp or he auto loses on the cards. you cant tell me with a straight face floyd landed the cleaner harder shots so no he was not cruising.

                  If it's a easy payday then why not? This pac comeback will sell the fight.

                    Floyd's reflexes are shot.

                    It could end up like Hopkins vs. Kovalev.

                      The 3 judges, the ones that get paid to score the fight scored the fight as a clear win for Floyd. The men announcing the fight scored the fight for Floyd. HBO spent years besmirching Floyd's name scored the fight for Floyd by a wide margin. They hate Floyd!!! Freddy Roach Pac's training wants a rematch because he knows how Floyd foiled his game plan. The only people who had Manny winning are his fans. And I get it. You love Pac. Even Floyd fans love Pac. They hate his fans but they love Pac. He's like a boxing super hero. He seems to be a great guy, he fights in a fan friendly way, hes explosive. But Floyd is a scientist in the ring. He literally takes away what you do best. Manny's best attribute is his aggressiveness. That was taken away. Floyd was open to an immediate rematch. But Manny was not humble in defeat. He said Floyd did nothing and came up with the shoulder excuse. Now we know that was a BS excuse because Bob Arum is on the record as saying Manny's injury was sustained in the DeLaHoya fight. That means he creamed Hatton and Cotto with that same shoulder. Dominated Mosely Margarito with it. He threw damn near a million punches against Margarito. The point is it was an excuse. If he had said, Floyd was very defensive, didnt give me Manny opportunities, I shouldve been more aggressive I would like a rematch it would have bern him not Berto in fight 49. The media and fans allow Manny to get away with nonsense and it robbed us of seeing them fight vn their prime. If the media had called out Manny for refusing a blood test back in 2009. We would have had the fight then. But the media hates Floyd and loves Manny so they tried to paint Floyd as a coward, so we ended up getting the fight late. So to sum up we probably won't be getting the fight. Not because Floyd is scared but because he has nothing to prove and he's retired. Manny and his fans want a mulligan. Sometimes in life you get one shot. Manny had it and blew it. Floyd was the better man
