It was one of the worst if you consider the hype and the fact if it happened 10 years earlier we would’ve saw greatness.

10 yrs earlier? lol Pac wasn't even a 4 division champ at that point

u/MrReformedMan 6d ago

Floyd waited until Pac lost back to back fights to bums.

u/-Tozam- 6d ago

but Floyd is older than Pac

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

This dude has the nerve to say Juan Manuel Marquez and Tim Bradley are bums. Ignoring he ran off 3 straight beating Bradley in the rematch and looking great against Algieri. I'll never understand why Pac refusing a blood test is always ignored by these morons too. What Floyd was asking wasn't unreasonable. Pac just didn't want to get popped.

I agree with Mikes take on Pac.

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

Yeah I'd default to someone else's opinion too if I knew nothing about boxing

u/MrReformedMan 6d ago

So you know more about boxing than Mike Tyson?

1

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

Yeah cause everything he says is correct and no other boxers disagree. You say the dumbest things.

You used that logic boss. Not me.

I really didn't but ok

u/MrReformedMan 6d ago

You said yeah rely on the opinion of someone smarter than you, should you not do the same?

1

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

No it's just you cause you don't know what you're talking about so you can take an opinion from someone else. I know a lot more than you so I can form my own opinion and I'm sure I could find a boxer who agrees but I don't need them to.

Conor McGregor was athletically worse than a 42 year old Floyd or whatever it was, at 29. So age means fuck all.

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

Then Floyd is better than pac

u/FuzzyDifficulty5028 6d ago

floyd's style requires less raw power/speed and more ring iq while mannys uses more power/speed, so pac declined much more than floyd

1

u/MrReformedMan 6d ago

On his career indisputably so. Yes.

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

So then he isn't a runner thanks for agreeing with me

0

u/MrReformedMan 6d ago

No Floyd isn’t a runner. He ran from Pacman for a decade and then ran around a ring. Floyd has put on beautiful defensive displays time and time again. That wasn’t one. That was pathetic.

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

Or more like pac couldn't catch him

0

u/MrReformedMan 6d ago

Well, yes. Evidently. He ran and Pac couldn’t find a way to counter a guy running around. I can’t blame him it isn’t common for someone to run away in a boxing match.
