SO ACCORDING TO U ALL WOMEN DONT ENJOY SPORTSangry
U BETTER COMOT FOR MY SIGHT WITH UR MYOPIC REASONING.AM NOT IN A GOOD MOOD THIS MORNINGangryangryangry


D guy just dey joke ni, u know...Oya no vex...But it's got some elements of truth in it (Now hear me out before u start bashing me too).

Though women's passion 4 sports is growing at a rapid rate due to d fact dat more women now participate in various sports, but violent sports (that most times lead to bloodshed), like boxing, still lacks the followership that other sports attracts among womenfolk (Nigerians).

Maybe dat's wat he wanted to say.

But this one wey u no dey gud mood, hope say u no put ur money on top Pacquiao ooo.

If that's d case, pele, shit happens.

Oya put a smile on ur face, no matter condition, feyin e grin grin grin grin

Foot work, Quick thinking, economy of strenght, Floyd has got all that. I believe the best fighters are not normally the most aggresive but them with courage and can persever. Pac is good but "MONEY" is it.

Floyd says last match should be september-is Khan the opponent?

Floyd is wiser than tyson in terms of saving for age 58! Assests everywhere. But seriously the hype is killing boxing. Seems its slowly tilting towards bad times.

If Khan is the one, i want him to KO floyd, but mock Floyd with the same tactics of running round grin

This isn't boxing but hide & seek

@ SirShymmex this isn't a fight, only one person was fighting.

I'm going to sleep, I can't believe I stayed up for this child's play.

~ Boxing has evolved.. what do you know?

Manny was offensive... May was defensive.
They are both still fighting...
You know nowt about fighting

Hmmmm

If the jabs were so good, it should have ended as a KO.

Floyd was more defensive. Sometimes I wonder where all his points came from. Lol

Brev, you have to apply power for jabs to knock anyone out - it is the welter weight division, not heavy weight. The aim of jabs is to score points and keep the opponent at bay. And Mayweather used his jabs effectively to score point, while keep Pacman at bay.

He was scared to come forward cos the jabs were hitting him - and every time he got open, the straight right was there to tell him what time it's.

They both threw similar number of punches (heck, compubox gave Money more punches), and Money landed far more. 34% compared to Manny's 18%. 148 vs. 81.

Money man has always been a cheat, Manny is the real deal.

Real deal, or awkward and overrated fighter.

Why was he scared to come forward and throw shiit load of punches like he does most times? grin

God saved his ar.se he fought conservatively, else his midget ar.se would've been knocked out with that straight right.

You lot don't understand the ring genius of Mayweather, and his ability to always impose himself on a fight. Thus making his opponents look like bums.

That fight was one-sided like I predicted. grin

where is mike tyson,the second greatest boxer after ali?

Tyson was great - arguably the one of the most interesting/entertaining boxers ever.

But he isn't anywhere near the Mount Rushmore.

Heck, George Foreman was greater than Mike Tyson - even Larry Holmes. And that's the heavyweight division alone.

It wasn't quite a master class or a clinic. But it wasn't that far off. Before the fight I said that deciding the winner was close but that the fight wouldn't be. I stick to that view. Pacquiao had a few rounds of success but that was it… a few rounds. Mayweather outboxed him. He came close to giving him a boxing lesson. Pacquiao had no way to consistently land offence, no way to pin Mayweather down and no way to stop Mayweather picking him off. There was no controversy, no real drama, nothing that would demand an immediate rematch. Mayweather simply did what he has done to so many other boxers who came in with dreams of winning. He crushed their dreams and outboxed them.This was the Hagler/Leonard of this generation… but Mayweather never let it be as close as that classic. This was a classic performance by Mayweather. It was not a classic bout to remember through the ages. That, perhaps more than anything, sums up Mayweather's brilliance. He's so good that he takes the drama out of bouts. He's so good that even landing a single punch on him gets a roar from the crowd as it's such a rare event.

You must be a mayweather fan

as in......after watching Cinderella Man, I realised boxing isn't about being aggressive, but patient and calculating.....

A lot of people mistake boxing for a street fight or even MMA. That's why they're not the judges grin

Don't mind them. It's called the sweet science for a reason - the ability to hit and impose yourself on an opponent, while being able to tactically avoid not being hit.

Muhammed Ali, the greatest, was hailed for the genius of rope-a-dope against George Foreman in Zaire (rumble in the jungle). Else George Foreman and that phantom right hand would have killed him in the ring. But hey, Mayweather isn't allowed to do what he does best and what the sport is about cos of haters. grin

Apart from round 4 and 6 (maybe 8 and 10 - debatable) - which other round did Pacman win?
Re: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by ToyinDipo(m): 1:46pm On May 03, 2015
You do whatever you have to win, that's why Mayweather remains unbeaten and Manny just had 1 added to his loss count. Even Ali as exciting as he was, knew when to be defensive in the ring.@ Ali - Fraizer 2 and Ali - Foreman

First rule of boxing is hit and avoid being hit.

You need to appreciate his skills and techniques.


Man fuc*k that rule! I wanna see guys trade punches not duck and throw few punches.

I'm not against having good defences but it should be balanced with a decent offensive as well. People pay to watch one guy knock out the other guy or at least try to, not play it safe all day long.

Why is Mayweather proclaimed the best Pound for Pound in the world? I didn't see any evidence of that in him jumping around,holding down the other guy and always on the defense. I wont pay a dime to see the re-match if there will be any. The only thing I got from that fight is that Mayweather is an entertainer in Boxing while Pacquiao is a genuine fighter. Anyway the fighter was not as great as it was billed most partly down to tactics of Mayweather.

If I may add, that match was like Chelsea(Mayweather) and Barcelona(Pacquiao) and I'm a Chelsea fan. Mayweather is NOT a great boxer,only a good one at finding ways to win no matter how it makes the sport of boxing look bad. No wonder interest in boxing had dwindle since Tyson,Holyfield and Lennox Lewis era. I wont bother watching another boxing match again - Kolawole Ali

Pound for pound means best boxer in boxing - all weight classes included, not brawling. grin

So, who in boxing is better than Mayweather?

Nah, Mayweather isn't just Chelsea - he fought like Chelsea and Barca in one, while Pacman fought like Man City. grin

But Ali was never one to shy away from punches all day as a matter of fact he allowed opponents to punch him at times just to prove they had no power.

As for that Zaire fight, he got hit a lot, infact he allowed Foreman punch himself out and then finished with with a devastating combo.

That's the kind of fight I love.
