That's MMA. Sorry to inform you but dodging, dancing, juking, slipping punches, and being evasive
especially when your opponent is heavy handed is a part of boxing. Mayweather would be an
utter fool to stand toe-to-toe in the center of the ring with Pacquiao. People who want to see
athletes/boxers "duke it out" don't know how important defense is in boxing. Mayweather is a
boxer - he's not a fighter; there is a difference between the two.

Don't let what happens in the MMA cloud your perspective of what boxing is.

What did Oscar call it, the new American Way of Boxing, nail on head.

now he's the one to talk after running from Trinidad in the last 3 rounds

Ali, Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Pernel Whitaker (and his uncles), ect all fought a similar style to Mayweather. Why Mayweather get's hated on for doing the same thing others did berfore him is mind boggling.

Make up your mind.

Does he "almost never" his right hand, or does he "almost never" use his right hand to throw
jabs? Either way, I can easily find footage where your "almost never" claim goes right out of
the window. And again, proof that Pacquiao does utilize a jab is witnessed last Saturday night
when Compubox scored him throwing 193 jabs. I've given you proof of the credibilty of Compu-
box. You, on the other hand, have done nothing to back up your claims.

You're the one who said every fighter uses a jab to set up a power punch, I said not Pacquiao, you disagreed.

We just won't agree on this, you see things your way, I see things my way, no big deal.

It seems like the hate picked up double once he called himself TBE, especially from the boxing historians.

LOL, that's the first thing I thought when I saw his tweet about the fight, he got some nerve.

So you guys don't think a rematch is going to happen? Especially with all the money made?

Nah, he can go back to his political day job.

Chancellor said:

Very interesting that most of you enjoyed the fight...The Rich Folks that saw it up-close-&-personal say it wasn't all that and they want their money back...

You think?!?

This fight proved just how easy it is 2 dupe the public with Hype.

If you want to watch the art, the beauty, and yes sometimes brutal boxing... no-name boxers in the lower weight classes are the ticket. Two men get in the middle of the ring, stand toe to toe, and duke it out.

I stongly agree with you right THERE^. Floyd Mayweather is NOT a great fighter because he has NEVER been a true fighter. He a point scorer and a conservative boxer.

4 those that have EVER stepped into an actual ring.

Rule number 1: AVOID getting hit as much as POSSIBLE.

Rule number 2: See rule number 1

Pro Boxing has never been the same since the generation tha gave us Tyson/Holyfield/Lewis left the sport.

These days, sport fans with blood thrist satisfied from watching MMA. At least in that sport, there will always be potential KOs.

But does a boxing match have to end via split decisons? Whatever happen to setting up your opponent for a KO punch?

Having spent considerable time in the ring, I'd suggest that Mayweather had ZERO intentions of a KO. He didn't through a single combination, hook or uppercut during that fight although there were several chances 2 do so. There nothing more than a steady diet of jabs and right crosses.

As I predicted.....:

Pacquiao reportedly also interested in rematch with Mayweather

A day after Floyd Mayweather Jr. reportedly offered Manny Pacquiao a rematch to their much-hyped bout, Pacquiao also appears interested.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN on Wednesday that Pacquiao would be up for a second fight with Mayweather, who won by unanimous decision Saturday.

Mayweather told ESPN on Tuesday that he "will fight him in a year after his surgery."

After the fight, Pacquiao was diagnosed with a torn right rotator cuff injury, which requires surgery and an expected 9-12 month recovery period. Pacquiao complained about a shoulder injury in post-fight interviews.

Though the fighters appear willing for a rematch, Arum warned that there could be many hurdles outside the ring.

"I think we now know what the pitfalls were," Arum told ESPN. "And, ultimately, with all the aggravation and trouble, look at the pot of gold that we both produced. I think there will probably be less aggravation in a rematch. We understand each other better now. There's a real possibility it could work even better."

Arum added that it's best for Mayweather to wait for Pacquiao in a potential bout in April, when the MGM Grand in Las Vegas plans to open a new 20,000-seat arena, instead of fighting someone else in September.

"I think the wisest course of action is for Floyd to wait," Arum said.

Umm but Floyd isn't going to wait. Isn't he trying to get to 50-0 to beat Marciano's record???

He really had a chance to finish Manny

I'd say he had at least 9 rounds where a series of the above ends that fight early.

There was no intent.

You don't go looking for a KO but if it comes, get it. It never came. May last KO was in 11. Before that, 07.

KO isn't his game so i get that. my point is, he was not even trying 2 do anything beside play defense. Great 4 him.......not so much 4 the viewing fan. Fans don't understand that.

Pacquiao uses his right hand jab to set up his power punches. You claimed that Manny "almost
never" uses his right hand, which is just fucking absurd.

More video of Manny using his jab (right hand) to set himself up:



You're talking outta yer arsehole, Abdul!

I agree with you too.

Mayweather takes full advantage of boxing's scoring system. He's not a brawler or a fighter, but
he's a great boxer. And great boxers are those who use defense and know how to strategize
and make adjustments to win. Mayweather will never be exciting because he's not going to go
toe-to-toe with his opponent as he does not possess punching power.

Have you not seen the Pretty Boy Floyd version of Maywather? A very differnt fighter than the Money Mayweather version.

The fight was free in Mexico, which is where I was.

I got what I paid for, LOL.
