Same as his fight with Bradley reacting to the crowd while Bradley is throwing ineffective punches and the judges counting them. If your not so selective in what you hear people saying you won't hear a double standard. Manny lost in the ring, and when he watches it he'll see clearly that he fucked up.
    If he really believed he won the fight he wouldn't look confused and baffled when he was being interviewed. Him and his team are making shit up to cover their embarrassing performance. Now switch their roles and think if Floyd did that what would we be saying? He would get executed publicly, so there definitely is a double standard. And there are many more examples through out his career. Not to mention the excuses he comes up with rather than give his opponent credit. He's the so called humble guy who can't give credit every time he's lost or even when he has won.

    Also you say they weren't self aware? Fighter of the decade and 7 time trainer of the year buy into the crowd and hype and lose touch with reality is what you're saying? What a joke. The fact that you're defending the sore loser shows a double standard in itself. No other fighter would get such leeway.
    That is exactly what would happen to you if you thought you won and other people told you lost. Confused. I'm not defending the guy. Not everyone has the presents of mind in the heat of the moment. Freddy has obvious issues. The crowd can influence you. You have to experience it to actually get it. I'm not saying he believes, is lying or otherwise. I'm just saying perception is subjective. I'm offering you an alternative to the double standard you think is going going on.

    Not only double standard but attitudes reflect how others will react to you. People like the Manny story and how he comes a cross. Floyd has done excellent selling tickets the way he comes a cross but people are less inclined to give him breaks because of it. It's simple mathematics, if I'm a prick to those around me, I'm going to get treated like a prick, deservedly so. May has nothing to complain about, he has been well rewarded throughout his career.

    Fair enough but watch the interview. He cleared looked like a defeated fighter.

    Pac is tad overrated really i mean he is atg and all but people pump the guy up to much. Look at his fights with Jmm through out his career he never really won them clearly and got knocked out. Yet Mayweather who makes Jmm defense look shit is a person that Pac going to own it is just nuts. If Mayweathers jabs have nothing on it why is it that he stops people in there trackes his movement made it look like pac was standing still. The speed difference was unreal like pac was in slow motion trying to hit a man going at the speed of light through 400 puches and landed at 19 percent. The fact that Pac gets all thsi credit for beating Oscar, Shane and Margarito when he did was bullshit because all of them were shot yet no one gives a shit and yea the double standard is kinda of annoying at times but o well.
