Pac won that fight easily but the fight was on vegas and all the judges including the referee are under floyd payroll so it's obvious that they will give floyd the gift win..

[pasawayako]

Pacquiao won the fight, so it doesn't matter. I mean Wilder lost 10 rounds to Wilder and goofballs said Wilder won, so people will just see what they want. Objectively, Pacquiao beat Floyd - he was the aggressor and landed the cleaner punches.

Lol. That's was so true. Imagine how this floyd/wilder fans way of thinking.

[pasawayako]

Imagine if the fight was happened 2009-2010 it could have been a massacre. Pac would have surely ko floyd in less than 10 rounds.

Manny only landed 19% (9% of jabs) of his punches

Floyd landed 34% of his punches.

Defense has to be counted in scoring.

Just admit it, Floyd put the wet blanket on Manny's offense, that's why he won 8 rounds.

That's true, also ssm having toothache so he couldn't fight Floyd so Floyd has to fight past prime versions, ruining Floyd s legacy. Ss m was nearly 39 when he fought floyd. Floyd around same age was fighting kick boxers

Floyd should then have been pro active if his legacy meant anything to him. He shouldn't have fought nelo at cw, or should have rematched nelo and fought at 160, or sergio, or ggg.
Floyd cherry picked many fighters at end of their careers himself, and many of them in hindsight weren't even that good in first place or overated, so there's lots going against floyd he has to claw a lot back to catch Pac up and be alongside histories best.

Why would a natural junior lightweight need to fight at 160?

I've never understood the obsession of making a guy who started his career at 130 fight at 160, unless he was seriously weight bullying, which he wasn't. Floyd's not a big welter at all.

Fact is, both Floyd & Manny are superhuman having been as dominant as they were in the number of weight classes they were. There's no need for either to have fought at 160

Now, if you want to criticize Floyd for never fighting outside of America or fighting guys past their sell by date, I'm with you.

Imagine if the fight was happened 2009-2010 it could have been a massacre. Pac would have surely ko floyd in less than 10 rounds.

Floyd wouldnt have been drained so we would have the same result with Manny doing nothing, he only looks good against injured or drained guys, he cant even stop B graders if they not drained lol. Manny resume is full of smoke and mirrors.

Manny could never beat Floyd, at 130-135 Manny gets put to sleep by PBF.

Goodness gracious me you are so ******, it defies belief.

You keep going on about Pac being a flyweight, what does that have to do with anything? At the time GGG and Martinez were around the lower weight classes, Floyd and Pac were in the same weight class, too. If you are so hot on Floyd not fighting them, again I ask, why didn't Pac fight them? It really is a simple question.

Floyd schooled Canelo for 12 easy rounds and I didn't hear Canelo desperately requesting a rematch.

If you are going to keep insisting that Floyd should have rematched Canelo at a higher weight, equally, Pac should've rematched Clottey, Margarito, Cotto and De La Hoya at their natural weights. Can you not see the simple logic in that or are you too simple yourself?



Me?

Ok. I'm getting what you are saying now. Pac s so great and the Standards are so high that he should have fought Ggg at middleweight and be a 9 weight champ. He could have did it I guess but weren't that ambitious. But I don't think Pac wanted to do it as he has a long career ahead of him. He might not be beating the young lions Floyd ducked like thurman now if hed stepped up to beat ggg 5 years ago. Might have taken too much out of pac.

Don't you get it yet, the kid who thinks he's cleverer than me, and I'm not claiming I'm smart btw?. People ask Floyd to fight so and so because that's who they think Floyd needs to beat to be considered as great as pac. To have achieved as much as Pac pfp.
.
Floyd just ducked Ggg though and sergio in most opinions simply because he didn't want to be considered as great as Pac is. Floyd said he could beat them.

Floyd was dishonest, claiming he can do things he cant. Like ggg got ripped for making claims he didn't back up.
But your such a fanboy you don't acknowledge anything. Why cannot you allow people call Floyd out on things fanboy?
And before you respond don't ask why people don't ask Pac to do what people ask Floyd to do again. You claim your clever? Floyd s got to do more to be as be as great as pac. Floyd s got to rematch nelo, he needed to beat ggg at 160, he needed to beat young lions in thurman, spence etc. Don't ask the guy who's already greater than floyd to do it, it don't work like that
Let that be final thought!

Hugh, get off pacs package already

[just the facts]

I don't know what would have happened in 2009. I don't know who's largely responsible for the fight not happening before it did. I don't know if either were juicing in their careers. I don't know if Manny was truly injured or not.

What I do know is that when the fight did happen, Floyd got the decision and justifiably so. The biggest Floyd hater/Manny lover on this board (Pac-Boy) had Floyd winning. The biggest Floyd hater/Manny lover on HBO (Lampley) had Floyd winning. After the fight, we never heard Arum or Roach screaming robbery and you know if there was even a sliver of truth to it they would have.

It is what it is, Floyd won. Get the fuccke over it already.

I thought the mods would ban your troll self already.

Did you (the guy who creates a new alt every time his rep goes red) really just call someone else a troll?

[pasawayako]

It's no wonder Floyd s legacy isn't very strong, every fighter ducking floyd according to Floyd s fans ie Smm toothache, Pac scared of needles. So Floyd could only beat past prime versions like 39 year old Sam and nearly 70 fights pac, recently koed by jmm.

Similar to Ggg opponents ducking him until they thought Ggg was there for the taking. Ggg could only get a draw and loss v nel o and looking like mere mortals v jacobs.
Now Ggg resume is a laughing stock similar to Floyd s resume. Floyd could have used initiative and addressed it by fighting at 160 and beating young lions like thurman, spence and Rematching nel o

I think even floyd own fans doesn't want to watch floyd fights because it's so much boring and he don't have a single fight that can make them feel proud of floyd performance....
