he played smart to win, he doesn't care if the fight was entertaining. there's a reason why he's called money

Smart? Not really. Guy played dirty and ran

He an pacq played tag the whole time

And some articles suckin' Floyd's dick like he's some kind of tactical genius or something, any morron in good physical shape can score body hits and run for 30mins, exploiting a broken sport during self-picked fights doesn't prove someone to be some kind of god of boxing.

And that dude interviewing Pacq at the end of the fight was a sold cunt as well, how can you say to Pacq "You didn't attack as much as you should have" or some shit like that ? That's some pretty fuckin poor analysis, If Pacquiao boxed like Mayweather there would have been no fight at all, if he tried to attack more he would have exposed himself for more points farming.

I'm not a boxing specialist, I watch the olympic games and some random fights on youtube from time to time, but that "fight" was just terrible. If it was an exhibition fight I wouldn't care at all, but giving Mayweather a title after that fight is just bullshit, he only deserves the pussy-ass title.

I don't even cheer for Pacquiao initially, I don't give 2 craps about supporting boxers. But that fight just made me despise Mayweather, and boxing in general. It felt like a scenarized political event, with "Money" winning in the end. Fuckin trash fight.

how is running and and stopping him when he gets close to get more points dirty?

i'm not a fan of either, but it's clear mayweather has found a way to win consistently with this tactic. i will say it's "cheap", but not dirty or cheating.

Because if a guy does everything what he can within the rules to win, and it isn't "exciting" or "exhibit style", you'll have people complaining.

People can find the fight uninteresting. People can call him a runner or a chicken. Straight up: Floyd knew his opponent, knew his advantage, and pressed it. People think he's such an illiterate idiot, well he read Pac-man's strategy and outplayed him.

If it works, it works. Mayweather ain't the first to do something like it, and he won't be the last. It's not easy to deliberately win by points, it requires a really large amount of stamina and concentration. You get rocked in a few too many rounds and your strategy is fucked.

I agree with mwah. Mayweather found a way to win in a broken sport. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

"Within the rules" is pretty blurry, the referee had to break em' up during the whole fight because Floyd was clinching like a motherfucker. He boxes like he just doesn't want to boxe, how is that showing good boxing skills and deserving titles ?

Pacquiao knew his opponent's strategy as well, everyone knows Floyd's strategy... but he also knew he had to take risks because Floyd's strategy is precisely not to take any on its own. With his shorter reach Pacquiao only had 2 choices : going in to get clinched and letting Floyd scoring weak body hits, or not going in and starring at each other for 36 mins. Great boxing.

Boxing rules are old and broken anyway, MMA and UFC is where things happen now.

Floyd is a good money-maker yeah, but he's a poor boxer. No other boxer boxes like him because they practice that sport out of passion and actually want to boxe... Floyd just want to make money, he doesn't care about boxing.

Plus, saying he's a genius for reading Pac-man's strategy isn't true. He's using the same fucking strategy against anyone, he doesn't even need to know his opponent's strategy, being a pussy-ass works against everyone if rules "allow" it.

> has reach advantage
> textbook reason to be an outfighter
> "he should switch to being an infighter when fighting an infighter because he's a pussy otherwise"
> wat


Welcome to the infighter v outfighter disadvantage. If Paq didn't have an answer for the oldest, solved, problem in boxing history, then the argument can be made that Paq deserves the loss.

Mwah, look at the fight. When may weather clinches, he' s like trying to choke poor Pacpac
