    And another thing in this if you were to realise just how good these guys really are its easy to see how one can nullify the other it was high stakes chess and it takes a boxing eye to see the class that was in the ring.

      Floyd is risk adverse. He was too scared to fight the Manny who ko'd Cotto and Hatton, he wanted an easy fight the safety first version of Manny post Marquez ko.

      All Floyd did was clinch. It was about 10 punches landed for Foyd with about 150 clinches. There's nothing classy about that.

        how was manny shut down though? he landed the far better punches. where was your boxing eye? i think you were just expecting manny to do something super amazing but thats not how you judge boxing matches. you dont put the onus on one fighter to fight a certain way and when he doesnt well i guess he lost!

        its not like manny was fighting like loma did for the first 6 rounds against lopez. if anyone didnt show up i would say it was floyd. floyds usually known for being the more accurate precise fighter but he wasnt. he was hesitant to counter or throw power shots with leverage for most of the fight and his jab mostly fell short or barely grazed pac. pac was definitely throwing him off in some way. you can see floyd started effective in round 1 but manny adjusted and by round 2 was having some success limting floyd and getting home with his shots. by round 3 floyd only landed 1 clean connect, 2 at most(compubox said 13 where), and by round 4 pac was putting a hurting on floyd which im sure is what contributed to his hesitation in the rest of the fight.

        for example watch round 7. all the judges gave it to floyd. that is preposterous. he landed two quality clean jabs, and a couple other hair grazing jabs that made no impact and didnt move pac at all, and no clean power shots(pacs defense was tight and some people pretend the right hands early in the round landed when they hit all glove). manny landed 2 left hands to the head, one huge one, 2 left hands to the body, one huge one that doubled floyd over and forced him to hold on, a right hand power jab/jab hook hybrid that rocked floyd all around, another right that rocked him back and 2 more lil right hands that still landed with as much or more force than any floyd punch that round. he showed up but poor judging and preconceived notions cost him the fight or at least cost him the fair respect he deserves even if you thought floyd won.

          Manny was shut down to his lowest out put, that should tell you something about who was not willing to commit for fear of being countered, the scene was set early when Floyd timed a lovely sharp counter right hand and that was all it took to put Manny into this cat and mouse game which suited Floyd better because he has better footwork and anticipation, as soon as the fight was finished Manny response to losing was he couldnt hit him because he moved too much, same reason JMM said Floyd was the best fighter he has been in with because he is so hard to hit cleanly if at all.

          You are too busy trying to find fault in Floyd that you never see fault in Manny, they were the top two in the game and they played chess, in my eyes I can understand fully why that happened.

            He was shut down to his lowest out put ever,,, that is being shut down and its one of Floyds major asset to do that to great fighters.

                Mayweather wasn’t his lowest output. He threw much less vs Vargas according to compubox. Threw about the same vs Bradley.

                Now I’m wondering if that was Mayweather’s lowest output though. “Shut down”, an all that. He was relegated to almost only jabs landing almost nothing of worth while Pacquiao stunned him numerous times and actually landed heavy power.

                  You need a punch in the head for just being a sorry excuse for a human being.

                  What compels you to hate so much, is it immaturity, insecurity or both, are you down syndrome, unbalanced or just plain dirty on the world because of your poor existence.
