It's nice for you to re-join the conversation @
mikeeod. Here's my last post that you never addressed Pactard.
Floyd fought differently 15 years ago when he was younger. He is 39 years old now. and was fighting the fighter of the decade, the guy that was supposed to destroy him. The guy who 80% of the public thought was going to KO him. It's his prerogative to fight a defensive fight. As the highest paid boxer ever and the highest paid athlete in the world 3 years running his recent style must be enough to satisfy fans otherwise he wouldn't be the money maker that he is.
YES it's true, Manny has no shoulder injury. He has an ego injury. He has a public image injury. He has an I've been exposed injury, but not a shoulder injury.
Pacquiao reportedly reinjured his shoulder. The initial injury was from a skiing accident from 2008? Manny's strength and conditioning coach of 5 years, hired in 2008, has gone on record as saying that Manny
never had a shoulder injury. This is the man who helped Manny win titles from 130, 35, 140, 147 and 154 pounds. During this time he had fights against Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Mosely, JMM & Bradley. Where were the signs of an injury during any of those fights? Look at the timeline for these fights...Manny never took any time off. When did this alleged injury occur?
Surgery is a vague term. It can mean as little a a local anesthetic and a small incision and walkout 15 minutes later. So I'm sure Manny had some kind of surgery. I doubt it was invasive or had anything to do with a pre existing shoulder injury.
His "surgery" was to repair his damaged image in the Philippines and to the gullible public (that's you).
Bob Arum has a great quote that you may find shocking (since you seem so dim). "Yesterday I was lying, but today I'm telling the truth."
Ruthy, don't take every critique of Floyd as a personal attack on you. We know you hate Manny, it's all good.

"First I would like to say that my deputy commissioner and my commissioner did a diligent job that night. The rules are clear and fair. Mr.Trinidad did not violate the rules, that's why there was no suspension. Extra tape and gauze can be applied if the trainers agree and the commission approves, grounds for that will be protection only cause of injury. Under no circumstances can there be double layers of tape,which in this case there was none. The New York State bylaws say you cannot have tape on skin so the commission made them rewrap because of that fact alone." (NY State Athletic Commission Chair Melvina Lathan)
One of several quotes from authorities on the subject.
Of course, they may as well be written in Swahili as far as you're concerned, because it doesn't fit your crybaby agenda.
How sad it is to know that a fighter you hate so much is an ATG and HOF'er.
Must stick in your craw, huh?
So his hands were taped and the wraps were applied in a way that did not comply with the rules?
The rules weren't violated because Hopkins corner member saw the violation while they were applying the wraps and the commission ruled on it and made Papa Trinidad re-wrap the hands.
Rocco, take your A.D.D. meds n try n focus. Topic is Floyd doing more vs Manny two weeks ago, not the legalities of Titos hand wraps in New York back in 2001. Try and stay on topic.

A disgrace to boxing and what it stands for. That is how it will be remembered in history and it makes me frustrated coz I promised to tell this to my children and grandchildren supposedly as one of the best fights I have seen. Now, it has become a reason for many casual fans not to watch boxing anymore.
You wanted to tell your kids and grand kids about this fight? Manny doesn't show up and you blame Floyd? HAhahaha! Pactard losers!

Here's an excerpt from that article you might find interesting as well....
"Rules vary from state to state. In California, only gauze and surgical adhesive tape are allowed. In Nevada, trainers can apply only gauze, not tape, to skin. But some keys are universal, Roach said, like spreading the gauze evenly across the fingers, or protecting the knuckles with the right amount of padding".
Richardson himself defended Trinidad from undue criticism by stating as much.... and making a very pronounced distinction between the Trinidad hand wrapping issue and, say..... what Margacheato was convicted of after the Mosley fight.
Follow me so far?
Now, you're older than 10, so I presume you're following my train of thought here.
You mentioned Trinidad had used illegal hand wraps his entire career. Obviously..... you're wrong. I'm saying this for the second time, but again.... I'm being patient with you because you're a bit slow and I always go the extra mile for the mentally-disadvantaged.

Re: Floyd should have done more.
Talk about a bunch of donkeys that can't stay focused.
You Pactards blame everyone but Manny for his failure to perform and you blame everyone but yourselves for for being so blind as to not see how Floyd would completely dominate the limited PED user hype job.
You guys are pathetic!

Papa Trinidad said he wrapped Tito's hands that way for POWER. Without his usual hand wraps he said Tito lacked his power.
The wraps were illegal in NY every time he fought there. So all his middleweight fights in NY were illegal.

Bob Arum has a great quote that you may find shocking (since you seem so dim). "Yesterday I was lying, but today I'm telling the truth."
You've just lost even more credibility with me and solidified/confirmed that you are a troll. I have been equally critical of Manny and Floyd, yet you continue to become frustrated and whine like a child and resort to name calling because I don't gush over Floyd like you do. I've already addressed everything in this post numerous times, so what difference will one more make? You will just regurgitate more nonsense and argue a different set of semantics/nuances. Floyd should've done more in that fight than limit Mannys offense, he should've stepped on the gas for the stoppage. Manny was outclassed, there wasn't really any more he could as Floyd is the larger and better fighter.
-
Floyd dominated the fight.
He won almost every round.
He kept Manny to under 82 connects and less than 500 punches thrown.
He made Manny look pathetic over 12 rounds.
I know it would be easier for you Pactards to accept the loss if he had been KO'd -- you're used to seeing him stretched out... but instead Floyd just showed his ultimate superiority by taking Manny the distance and shutting him down every round.
Sorry you can't accept that.

You know that is Pac Fans. Stop citing stats you know are irrelevant. Floyd was the favourite and he won the fight. Floyd did his usual non entertaining boxing. Floyd will never knock anyone out, what BS he was saying about swimming and cutting wood increasing his power is crap.

Ali looked good in his last 2 fights huh?!??!
And he looks to be in good health now too!
Pactards... So stupid!
Ali may have YOUR respect but he can't wipe his own ass.
I think Floyd's happy with his place in life. He's TBE and rich and self managed and still has his brains and health intact.
Morons!!!

Correct el doctore'.
Nobody is walking around 'now' saying that what a wonderful fighter Floyd Mayweather is.
Even in the Gym, nobody is talking about him.
He's already forgotten. .......... 'Old News'

I'm huge Mayweather fan but I wouldn't say he's T.B.E. I do think he's overly cautious, almost on a paranoid level. Even his father in the corner was saying that he was fighting almost scared at times.
But that's his style.
To hit and not get hit and he's mastered that art down to a fine science. "Pop, pop, tie him up, pop, tie him up, if he get's close", put the rounds in the bag, rinse n repeat and remember if was that easy everyone would be doing it.
Funny thing is. I think if Floyd would have stood toe 2 toe with Manny his accuracy and power and timing. He still would have won. He's the much bigger and stronger man.

You are not going to get toe to toe out of Floyd in the ring. It's not who he is, he doesn't do 'extra' to keep the fans happy.
Like you said, Floyd does enough to put the rounds in the bag, if he thinks he's losing a round then he steps it up. He does what he has to to win, nothing more.
It's puzzling in a way, outside the ring Floyd is a real risk taker in my opinion (breaking with Arum, promoting, switching his bad boy image to the businessman, saying what he wants, and helping friends out with loans and cash gifts), but inside the ring he'll always be that cautious control freak. Interesting person!

I agree 100%. I feel like Floyd had all the advantages (skill, size, strength...etc.) to take over late and push for the stoppage by walking Manny down. That would've been worth the money and the fact that he didn't push himself at all on that stage is why I will never consider him TBE and why I won't buy another PPV with Floyd as the headliner.

Re: Floyd should have done more.
Does it really pay to pander to the fans and fight stupidly? What does it get you in the end?
Meldrick Taylor had world class boxing skills but chose to brawl to pander to the fans, and look what happened to him. These guys end up taking too many punches to the head and they're punch drunk and have no quality of life after boxing. People love excitement and risks... but we hate losers. As soon as you lose, everyone says you were exposed, overrated, and people lose interest.
Floyd played it perfectly in the end, at least inside the ring.

Don't ever expect anything more than what you already know.
Floyd wont risk it at this stage of his career.
It's up to the opponent to rough him up like maidana to get some sort of a rise out of him...if you don't do that he will potshot you all night!
I love floyds style but have to get over the fact that no matter how much I want him to do more...it's not going to happen..why will/should he risk it at this late stage.
Bring on an easy underrated and undefeated Garcia...then Garcia creates the biggest upset in all of boxing by knocking floyd out in the 11th round!!!
(It could happen?!)
