Floyd should have done more.

Tito just bet the number 2 with LOADED GLOVES. Bernard made sure Tito had normal regulation wraps for their fight. So he knew he could go after him.

Also I'd argue that Manny is a more multidimensional fighter than Tito. You have to worry about Manny's movement, his angles, his speed his combos. Tito needed to be set up on the front foot to throw. Bernard put on a masterful performance never letting him set to throw but as I said before Bernard knew that there would be less power on Tito's punches because of the legal wraps.

Are you REALLY trying to argue this?!?!?!? Manny had recently been knocked out, was past his prime, much smaller and fighting with a TORN ROTATOR CUFF!!!! Tito was in his prime, just as big as Hop, undefeated and coming off the annihilation of #2 guy at 154 (Vargas) and 160 (Joppy) and was a HUGE favorite to blow Bernard out!!!!

Again, question was should Floyd have done more than land 148 punches (most insignificant) and the answer is YES!!!! Previous fight of the century was Ali vs Frazier 1. Watch that fight and compare to the Floyd vs Manny farce. Watch Taylor vs Chavez 1 and then compare to that farce. Watch Hearns vs Leonard/Hagler n compare those to that farce. Watch Evander vs Bowe/Tyson n compare. Carbajal vs Gonzalez. You get the idea. Floyd's great, but could care less about the fans. For almost $200m for the last fight, he should've cared and done more.

You seem to lack the ability to grasp the reality of THIS fight and the fighters involved and are instead comparing the words used in promoting the fight like "fight of the century" to past fights fought by different fighters. They chose "fight of the century" because it was going to generate the more money than any other fight this or last or any century(probably all combined). Floyd is not Hagler or Leonard. He is not Holyfield or Bowe. He is not anyone but himself. He fought exactly the same fight he always fights. So how can you say he should have done more? Pacquiao should have done more. Pacquiao is the one who threw 500 less punches. Pacquiao was the one who connected with less than 82 punches. Pacquiao was the one who made little to no effort to cut off the ring or attack recklessly to take his opponent down. Mayweather fought to the blueprint he always fights.

You look like a fool suggesting that Floyd be someone that he's not. Hes the highest paid athlete in the world 3 years running. He's the highest paid boxer ever. He's the reason everyone bough the fight. He must be doing everything just fine. It's chumps like you that are still trying to put the blame on him for dominating Pacquiao that are a fucking farce.

You're completely bat shit crazy Rocco. Watch Floyd's fights vs Judah, Hatton and Chico again and compare to the farce. He tried for the stoppage in every single one of those fights. Watch his fight vs Gatti n N'Dou. Same thing. He threw combinations n actually walked guys down.

Of course Manny threw less punches than usual, he had one arm working correctly and Floyd was 100% focused on lateral movement and perpetual motion of his feet. This isn't to let Manny off the hook, his performance was equally horrendous. Floyd was the superior fighter though, so he should've done more and closed the show like ATGs are supposed to. That being said, if you are looking for a critique of Manny to unbunch your panties, here it is: Manny didn't belong in the ring with Floyd, was clearly an inferior fighter and has been classless with his behavior/comments since losing fairly to Floyd.

Do you even watch boxing? Are you even a fan, or just an MMA guy on here trolling? To make some of the statements you make, it makes me wonder...

Also, just to help you out, Tito didn't have loaded gloves, his hands were wrapped in a manner that was legal in Vegas but illegal in New York so he had to re wrap them. Margarito had loaded gloves vs Mosely. You're welcome for the education.

FFS mikeeod..... quit trying to argue with Ruth using logic.

Ruth is well known here for getting an idea stuck somewhere between his thick skull and the half ounce of gray matter than passes for a brain..... and then beating the idea to DEATH. He once posted in 27 straight posts that Pac was a PED user. He actually posted that Floyd is TBE because his Lamborghinis are shinier than anyone else's..... and because he went back to chopping wood before the Pac fight. Oh..... that, and the fact that he owns his own promotional company. Ruth has been peddling the illegal handwrap argument for years, and is blind-deaf-and-dumb to any logic whatsoever.

He won't thank you for the education because he doesn't believe in that concept. He'd rather peddle the same regurgitated shit over and over hoping that the one-millionth time he says it..... it becomes true. Do what the rest of the forum does....... LAUGH AT HIM.

Fact is Tito just wasn't very good without his illegal wraps.

Just like Manny isn't that good without his PEDs.
