Floyd should have done more.

[beenKOed]

He won. That's what he always does.
Look, I'm not falling for this BS of Floyd Sr. suddenly becoming critical of what Floyd does in the ring. The words were probably put in his mouth by Floyd.
Part of Floyd's exit strategy? Maybe? I don't take anything at face value that comes from Floyd's camp.

[ruthless rocco]

Floyd did EVERYTHING.

[g3org3]

Floyd total dominated manny I had it 9-3 and I only gave manny a 3rd round because I felt I needed too, really 1 sided fight not sure what else floyd could of done to be honest.

[mikeeod]

Floyd won the fight, without a doubt, and I can see a solid case for 9-3, or even 10-2. That being said, I feel that the fight and performance by both competitors was underwhelming. I know many will just say "that's just Floyd's style" and point to his defensive brilliance, and maybe they are right. For me, I compare his performance to Pernell Whitaker, another defensive whiz who took on his biggest threat in Julio Ceasar Chavez and Sweet Pea was much more impressive offensively. To put in perspective, Ehitaker was credited with landing 311 punches (and he stood right in front of Chavez and was so slick he shut down an offensive juggernaut) where Floyd landed 148. Floyd is extremely effective in the ring and a great boxer, but I don't see myself buying anymore of his fights or even caring much if he wins or loses, his last fight was enough for me.

I would have loved to have seen him get aggressive and close the show, but he's at a point now where he's going to take ZERO risk and just focus on retiring undefeated.

Maybe you would have 'loved' to see Floyd smash the little guy's face in, and dislodge his brain.

Is that what you're saying.

You're probably the type of guy who enjoyed watching Muhammad Ali getting his brain
'scrambled apart' by Larry Holmes.

Go make another useless thread with a fake quote, stupid.

Wasn't Parnell 10 years younger than floyd in that fight ? At floyds age pernell was getting stopped by Carlos bojorquez.

Yes, Pea was about ten years younger. That was just one example though. When Evander Holyfield was hyped to fight Tyson the first time, regardless of his actual age he was ancient in terms of wars n wear n tear. Despite those limitations he put on a hell of a performance and got the stoppage win. BHOP was close to Floyds age when he fought Tito, another big hype match up. Hop put on an ATG performance and destroyed Tito.

Look, Floyd is the best of his generation and a very skilled fighter. He is great at doing just enough to win rounds and "dominate" a fight. He is also very boring to watch and vs Pac could have stepped on the gas and taken some risks to give the fans their money's worth and he never did. So, I don't hate the guy or think he's a bum or coward, but I have zero interest in ever paying to watch him negate the other guys offense for 12 rounds again. If that is worth 50-100 bucks to U to see, knock urself out.

What you did not give Manny the 4th round where he rocked Floyd?

[Master]

Floyd should have done more!

I am unsure if he was unable to because Manny is good or that he could not be bothered since he does not fancy it any more.

Either way Floyd is not worth the money he is paid and he is laughing all the way to the bank because he is on a fat contract and getting away with his non-entertainment.

[brucelee]

At least, there is some sanity here now.

As I was trying to emphasize immediately after the fight, Floyd should have done more because he promised us that he will knock Manny and because this is the supposed to be the Fight of the Century. He is being booed everywhere he goes because he truly does not deserve the win in a fight billed as " THE FIGHT" of the century. Now, it has become the "NON-FIGHT of the Century".

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!

Yea I gave manny the 4th 6th and 10th but the 10th was close just saying manny only had two strong rounds

[ruthless rocco]

I think Floyd's injuries kept him from getting the KO. Riiiiight?
