I gave Manny huge respect until......

[Boxer4life]

Manny fought a great fight, I was shocked to see how well he was doing in the chess match(although it didn't workout in his favor). I think he showed in his fight that he does have great boxing IQ, he was able to time Floyd well and it took Floyd waaayyy longer to figure him out. The scorecards may have not been close, but each round was super competitive(outside of the 11th)

Overall it was a beautiful battle of the minds(i know i'm one of the very few who feels this way) and i thought it was an amazing fight from a pure boxing perspective.

HOWEVER....

Once Manny started being a sore loser with his shoulder and "i won" speeches, it just shitted on all the respect he earned during the fight imo. Huge mistake from the Pacqiou camp.

Yeah it's always a shame to see people be sore losers and make excuses.

It's a hard pill to swallow: this was the biggest fight of his career, he was carrying the hopes of MILLIONS of people to be the guy to finally give Mayweather the beating he deserves, and he let Mayweather cruise to another easy victory. This fight was for all the marbles and he came up short. He's not going to get another crack at it, they won't be able to sell a rematch because it was so anti climactic.

Yeah i agree, usually rematches get made when they think there is a possibility of a different result. Despite what everyone is saying, I don't think anyone thinks Pacqiou can actually beat Mayweather, Mayweather beats him better next time. No need for rematch.

[ruthless rocco]

While I agree that the result of a rematch would be similar to the first fight...

The "I think I won" claim and the "I was secretly injured" excuse combined with the Pactard cries of "Floyd ran all night" and Pac "deserved the win because he moved forward and hurt Floyd 3 times" are the ground work of a potential rematch.

I think many boxing neophytes believe Pac won the fight and that Floyd was gifted the win.
That was the feeling at the bar I watched the fight in.

[Manos de Piedra]

Agree with both of you.

But it seems like there are a lot of idiots out there who think pac won.

That includes Lomachenko

[Boxer4life]

Yeah unfortunately thats the world we live in. And because this fight was so mainstream we get even more dumb commentary from people who have never seen a boxing match in their lives. But I will tell you I cant believe any other fighter can say Pac won.

[Spicoli]

Think he was already forging for rematch with the shoulder and 'think I won talk' even though it was batshit looney talk. Unfortunately on such a massive level as this was it has served as a double edged sword for in the know fans vs casual Joe shmoe who can actually pay 5k for a seat. This might be one exception where frankly, they don't need 'us'.

[Beanflicker]

I just can't see a rematch happening, given the general unfavourable reactions to the fight.

Castillo and Maidana got rematches because they fought very close fights with Floyd and gave him a lot of problems. This wasn't a close fight and Pac really didn't give Floyd any problems. He landed a few good left hands but nothing that really shook Floyd.

Nobody is going to buy the rematch.

Many of those who watch the fight believe Manny won it including Lomachenko. No wonder Mayweather was booed. Shane Mosley think so too. They must be idiots for believing what they actually saw.

When does Shane Mosley say Pac won? I would like to see this, could you post a link to it.

I won't put it passed them to try to sell a rematch.

Yeah he did, but thats because he was throwing alot of punches to 1. See what pacs game plan to counter him is and 2. Keep him off, overall you could see it in Floyds body language, he was a lot more confused by Manny then most of the fighters he faced and didnt really get comfortable till really late.

Your talking shit. I just rewatched the first and Floyd just does as he pleases hes u der no pressure whatso ever.

Pacquiao looks like hes lost, thrown in at the deep end, hes never seen anything like afloyd and has no idea what the fuck to do.

This was an old 38 year old Floyd who likes to lay on the ropes. 5 years ago, Manyy gets a new asshole ripped in him.
