    Far from his best, Manny was a big disappointment.
    Personally, I think Manny is well past his best and it showed last night. He just didn't have it in him.

    I suppose you could say he started much too slow and paid Mayweather too much respect, but when he did let the punches go he just couldn't hit the guy. He couldn't just go windmilling in there and waste even more energy.

    Floyd was just too slippery and awkward for him and Manny no longer has enough speed to catch someone like that with any regularity.
    At 38 floyd is way past his best but still managing to do enough to beat the best around.

    5 years ago manny was a better fighter but let's not forget that so was floyd.

    That's purely down to style.

    Defensive counter punchers like Floyd who don't waste anything last longer than aggressive, come forward fighters like Manny.

    And that's the smart move.

    Smart but very, very boring.

    How is Floyd the highest paid athlete if he's so boring?

    It's amazing how far people will go to discredit Floyd. After doing exactly what I predicted he would do in the fight, people have to use the "boring" excuse. Seriously? That's all you got? Have you not seen Floyd fight before. I could have told you it would be boring for most people. Every sport has to have a variety of styles and not every style can be exciting. The point of a sport is to win first and foremost. Not to entertain. It's obviously entertaining enough though because Floyd got tons of cash for putting on a fight. So some people have to find entertainment in his fighting.

    Who's discrediting Floyd?

    No one can take away what he's achieved, but you can be of the opinion that his style is boring to watch. If you like aggressive fighters who are prepared to get involved in a good scrap, you probably won't find Floyd entertaining... which I don't. He bores me and his style is what made last night's "disappointment of the century" the boring, forgettable overhyped rip off that it was.

    In my opinion of course.

    Wait which is it give Floyd credit or be ddisappointed in Manny? With such a poor performance from Manny should have been all over him, bbut Floyd showed him way too much respect so they both deserve to be shit on.
