God-fearing Pacquiao should have been fearing Mayweather instead

1-IMG_8362By Sizzle JKD: I’m going to call it like I see it. Here’s the thing, no God in this entire universe could have saved Manny Pacquiao last night. Not Jesus Christ, not Buddha, not even Allah. The fact of the matter is, religion has made Pacquiao soft and because of this Pacquiao has no business fighting. In the hurt business, nice guys in the ring will NEVER finish first.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll give a ton of credit to Floyd Mayweather Jr. for doing what he needed to do, which was out-think and out-punch Pacquiao in the ring. This is what makes Mayweather so difficult to contend with, let alone defeat.

Ariza still thinks Pacquiao can excel if he gets a new team behind him

1-01-1By Chris Williams: Alex Ariza, the strength and conditioning coach for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs), saw how Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) struggled last Saturday night in his one-sided defeat at the hands of Mayweather.

Ariza noticed that things were in a state of chaos in Pacquiao’s corner with his trainer Freddie Roach trying to come up with some kind of solution for what Mayweather was doing inside the ring. Ariza thinks that Pacquiao needs to get a new team behind him that can help him out so that he can bounce back and still be a top fighter.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Is it time to move on and leave this fight in the past?

1-09-3By Gerardo Granados: At a post-fight interview on ESPN the Undisputed Welterweight Champion of the World Floyd Money Mayweather W48 (26)-L0-D0 stated he would vacate his entire welter and light middle WBA – WBC and also his welter WBO championship belts; meanwhile Manny Pacquiao hurried to make excuses for his loss saying he had a shoulder injury.

Which was a surprise that not many could have expected, but if the reader was surprised with Floyd´s Unanimous Decision victory then it could be because you didn’t bet on Mayweather to win on an easy bet.

What now Floyd Haters?

1-02By Robert “Big Moe” Elmore: As bad as several of the media tried to discredit Floyd Mayweather Jr’s victory over Mannt Pacquiao; even to the point where an ESPN analysts asked him “does he think he can be great outside the ring with his criminal history”; NOTHING will take the victory away.

This was the ONE fighter that would give Mayweather trouble. This was the ONE fighter whose volume punching, punching from different angles, and work rate would force Mayweather out his comfort zone. And most of all, according to haters, this was the ONE and ONLY fight he needed to cement his legacy.

Pacquiao full of excuses: Two weeks I didn’t train, tear in my shoulder, I skipped couple of days

1-01-3By Dan Ambrose: For some reason one excuse wasn’t enough for Manny Pacquiao in trying to explain what went wrong with his game last Saturday in losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. by a 12 round unanimous decision. Pacquiao used the scattergun approach to making excuses for his defeat to Mawyeather, blaming it on him missing a couple of weeks of training camp because of a shoulder problem, as well as him missing a couple of other days of training for unknown reasons.

Pacquiao apparently sees the combination of missed training time and his shoulder injury as a factor in what happened last Saturday in his loss to Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mayweather-Pacquiao and why some fans shows their ignorance

1-01-1By Michael Byrne: The judges gave Floyd Mayweather Jr. the fight last night in his fight against Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. You probably gave it to Pacquiao, like all of the other overnight armchair heavily opinionated fans.

You’re welcome to say Pacquiao won the fight, because that is your opinion and your forefathers fought for your right to free speech. Further, boxing is scored on an ultimately subjective scale, so choosing the victor is all about opinion anyway.

Roach had no plan-B; should Pacquiao dump him?

1-11-6By Chris Williams: If you purchased last Saturday night’s mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) and Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) on PPV or were lucky enough to see it live, you’ll have noticed how lost Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach was in the corner between rounds.

As the fight become increasingly more one-sided with things become desperate, Roach had no answers, no plan-B, and no advice for the 36-year-old Pacquiao to help him adapt to what Mayweather was doing inside the ring. In a word, Roach was lost.

Mayweather: I knew I had him from round one

1-04-4By Allan Fox: Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he already had Manny Pacquiao analyzed and figured out by round one last night in his 12 round unanimous decision win over the Filipino fighter in their expensive fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

While two of the judges scored the fight close by the scores of 116-112 and 116-112, the other judge had it by a lopsided score of 118-110, and a lot of boxing fans agreed with that score. But Mayweather says he already knew what Pacquiao had after the 1st round and he saw the fight as basically won at that point.

How Mayweather won the battle, but both lost the war

1-05-6By EH: On May 3rd, the fight billed as ‘The Fight of the Century’ witnessed Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeating Manny Pacquiao by a 12 round unanimous decision last night. Whilst Mayweather and Pacquiao have broken all fight records by earning an extra $120mil and $80mil respectively (technically $40mil or Pacquiao, as half of his fight purse is being donated to charity), it is a fair assertion that both fighters ultimately lost the war.

Why Floyd Mayweather Lost the War

Love him or hate him, there is no doubt whatsoever that Floyd is a once-in-a-generation boxing genius.
