This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]480743[/split]
The problem with Mayweather and Manny was Manny. He was suppose to press, to bring tension. Instead he proved he wasn't even a top 10 opponent for Floyd. It is ridiculous to complain about Floyd being like Floyd, while Manny fought like a scared fighter.

Then Manny shouldn't have fought. He did, so he has no excuses. Also, Bayless didn't cause him to miss 350 punches.Manny was hurt and Bayless allowed Floyd to run and hug at will.
Floyd's fights with Maidana and Cotto were great. Why? Because his opponent's fought their nuts off. Manny was a kitten.It's true but seems like a similar issue with Klitschko. A boring guy to watch due to his style, but part of the reason for most of his matches being boring was his division being full of bums for a decade who were no threat. Pacquiao didn't turn up here for whatever reason and others who have in the past resulted in better shows in Floyd matches, but I'd be interested to see how good to watch a Floyd vs Floyd fight would be. t:
I said exactly that. Floyd is the best of the modern era, no question, and has some great fights to his name too. But there are & were other top guys who were better to watch regardless of opponent. If someone doesn't turn up against them they get beaten up rather than picked off. They are exciting to watch in the super-fights but also when they are up against bums.Floyd's fights with Maidana and Cotto were great. Why? Because his opponent's fought their nuts off.

A few things.
1. Floyd has some bad hands. They break from a bad look.
2. Floyd is arguably still a 140 guy, and yet he is the legit 147 and 154 champion. Guys has been fighting dude bigger then him for 8 years now. Coupled with the brittle hands, yeah, he fights safe.
3. Floyd is pushing 40 now.
4. When is the last time Floyd fought a bum? Gatti? Mitchell? He has had a decade of very good to great opponents. Floyd use to blast people out all the time under 140, and not all chumps. Look what he did to Corrales.
They both fought like *****es. Manny hurt or not should've gone for broke, he should've fought like he did with JMM, what he did in the 4th, he should've done all night or at least attempt it. And Mayweather had a one armed timid guy in front of him asking to get KO'd and still fought cautious as F-.
It takes two to make an exciting fight and NEITHER did anything to give the public their money's worth.

You will be labeled a flomo for saying that. See how it feels to try and speak the truth about Floyd because some people see it one sided? With some people you can't win!A few things.

One guy. Not saying any names but you know who he is.I haven't a clue why or how this debate crept back in here.

Wilder feels like hype to me. Let him fight some relevant, then we will talk.
