Mayweather vs Pacquiao is happening

[RonSpringsdaman20]

I don't see it that way. I think Manny on his best day would have looked the same against Floyd. Mayweather makes fighters look bad.

Both of these fighters are past their prime. It's not like Floyd is in his 20s.

Manny has been a shell of himself for several fights... So for what its worth, we didn't see Manny in his prime. Floyd is no longer in his prime either, but still fighting at an elite level. Again you may be right... but I would have like to see the two fight when Manny had that spring in his step, which he no longer has.

I really don't follow boxing but what has happened to the heavyweight class? I remember back in the day that's all you heard about but now you have these welterweights dominating the attention of everyone. I don't know what it is but its hard for me to watch these skinny guys go at it as it doesn't seem that they do much damage

They all moved on to football.

Hagler was my all-time favorite. Him Sweet Pea, and Aaron Pryor.....Ras-I bramble as well (mainly for what he did to Boom Boom)

The Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was alright but Mayweather is not taking any chances so he can get to 49-0. I give him credit for winning but he does just enough to win. That Ukrainian on the 1st undercard fight was awesome, I paln to keep track of his career.

They need to score boxing with a few rule tweaks regarding the # of clinches/hugs and ring control.

I just don't understand what people see in Floyd to cheer for him. He is well known for being a woman abusing, arrogant prick. His fighting style is about as boring as it comes. Hit and run, hit and clinch, hit and duck. Run, run, run.

They fought a 12 round fight and neither fighter had a blemish to show for it. Post fight, they looked like they just came back from a nail salon or something.

It may have been a different fight 5 years ago, instead it was just another reason to not watch boxing. The fight of the century was boring as hell.....

I heard a caller to a sports station say it best, "Floyd has it backwards, you are supposed to hug women and fight fighters."

Another caller: Floyd doesn't belong in the boxing hall of fame, he belongs with Jesse Owens with all the running he does.

Floyd is an excellent boxer, with great defensive technique, the ability to see punches that others can't, and great hand speed & footwork. Its sad that his overall narrative will taint his skill level narrative to the casual fan. The media often creates a high saddle for us to watch from.

 

[jrumann59]

All I saw all fight was a Mayweather that was scared to get hit. Now I can't wait for his next two fights where he "Strahan's" it and fights two cream puffs or two fighters that have one foot on beach somewhere thinking of retirement.

Now that this fight is over, boxing can go back to being irrelevant

This happened, but shouldn't have. Clearly they took note of Apple marketing as nobody should have even cared about this fight, yet the promoters marketed it like it was the fight of the century. It's not like Manny had a shot in hell and everyone knew this. Next, maybe they can serve up a kindergarten vs Mayweather and make $500M.

I wouldn't say manny was out classed in the fight. If anything I blame mayweather for ducking him for 5 years. But I guess he needed to drive the purse up and nothing does that like controversy

He's a technician. It wasn't a brawl, it was a boxing match.
