"Floyd waited until Manny got old"

[DeadLikeMe]

he sucks in fighting?

you're misinformed, breh!

Compared to the fraud dancing coward you mentioned, Manny sucked at fighting on May 2nd. In fact, he was such an inferior fighter to Mayweather that he only managed to win 2 rounds out of 12 against a scared runner. Eventually losing a wide UD in the most watched and important fight of his career.

The greatness of Mayweather is his ability to pull the wool over the eyes of casuals everywhere. Dupe them into thinking he is fighting elites in their prime or prop up C-level fighters to appear better than they are. Only Floyd could claim he is the best ever and out the other side of his mouth call all of his opponents C or B rate fighters. So how are you the best if you didn't fight the best and only fought so-called C-level fighters. Great business man, I've give him that.

Damn don't make Larry cry man, but you right, hell of a con artist.

His ring entrances should be to the theme song of The Sting.

[johnm is...]

So basically.......

...it's Floyd's fault that Manny got hit too much.

Got it.

The two years age advantage Manny had was nullified by the 17 more fights that he had on his record. Those fights will age a boxer at a faster rate than just two birthdays. The fact that someone had to create this thread two years after the fight tells us that the Fraud fans are still trying to defend his five years of ducking and excuse making. I can list ten excuses Floyd pulled out of his ass from the "retirement" to avoid a rematch with DLH and the prime talent at 147 such as Pac, Cotto, Williams, Margo and a slightly younger Mosley, to his false drug accusations which cost him a couple of million in out of court settlements, all the way to Pac has to leave Arum, Pac's PPV numbers aren't as high as mine, he has to accept a $40M offer, he didn't beat anyone to deserve the fight, and it goes on. Once the lawsuit was settled, Pac agreed to random testing, then Floyd moved the goal post yet again. It wasn't until after Pac's KO loss to Marquez that he smelled blood in the water and watched as Pac slowed down in consequent fights. Then, with the aid of unauthorized IVs to flush his system and coming in considerably bigger, he was able to run and clinch his way to a victory against a one-armed, past his prime Pac. And people wonder why this fight was called the flop of the century. If Floyd was so great he should have been able to stop Pac inside the distance or at least make it look as though he was in a fight.

The greatness of Mayweather is his ability to pull the wool over the eyes of casuals everywhere. Dupe them into thinking he is fighting elites in their prime or prop up C-level fighters to appear better than they are. Only Floyd could claim he is the best ever and out the other side of his mouth call all of his opponents C or B rate fighters. So how are you the best if you didn't fight the best and only fought so-called C-level fighters. Great business man, I've give him that.

Stop blaming Floyd for Manny refusing to fight.

Hold on, WHAT??? You guys never believed Floyd when he told you a guy would be easy work. You only believed whatever Arum or SKip Bayless told you about Floyd being scared or a coward.

The only people you should blame is yourselves. Take Manny as the best example.

You'd watch Manny torch some over aged or over rated mid level fighter then let Lampley and Max sell you on his greatness. Cool. Yet everytime Floyd said he'd easily beat him, you'd use that boasting to criticize him.

The fight happens and then you guys will go with any excuse for the outcome except the most logical-that Floyd's length and boxing skill was always going to be a problem for Manny.

You went with your heart rather than your eyes or your head. Floyd capitalized on the anger and stupidity of people like you.

I do think Manny was much more dangerous in 2007-2010 where as Floyd didn't slip as much between that time.

Lmao....these floyd haters are losing their minds over the fact that floyd is the greatest fighter of the last 25 years and a top 15-20 atg. Pacquiao will always be well behind him in any logical ranking.

you can throw miguel oldo, and shame oldsley in there as well...

[Curt Henning]

the excuse holds no weight for either golovkin or pac....and reasonable people know this..its just a made up excuse by certain weak minded individuals who feel the need to explain why their hero lost...or in golovkins case why he might lose.....

[djtmal]

you know a fight is way past the expiration date, when cats need shoulder shots and iv's just to get in the ring...the primary care physician is the chief 2nd

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Manny never ducked him, he chased him for five years, and then he had to chase him around the ring. Manny didn't sign up for a foot race, he signed up for a fight. Your guy chose to stink out the joint and give boxing a black eye. He also CHEATED USING AN ILLEGAL IV...which is much more of a smoking gun that some phony accusation placed upon Pac in order for him to duck.

Ever since the Corrales fight he's been cherry-picking and convincing the simple-minded casuals such as yourself that he is the best ever. Despite his two year "retirement" in 2007 so he could avoid a rematch with DLH and all that prime talent waiting for him on the other end. He waited for them to eliminate one another and wear themselves down in tough battles before making a comeback to fight a much smaller Marquez, an older Mosley, cheap shot victory over Ortiz, a tough fight with a battle-worn pre-Roach Cotto, and B-rate Geurrero, Maidana and Berto. Hardly the stuff of legends.
