Don't tell me there was another, clearly better fight out there. I don't believe you. We're pinned.shoeflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031396523894447965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130396615173181257.post-23774079958285865272011-05-09T12:58:57.707-07:002011-05-09T12:58:57.707-07:00I'm glad I skipped this one.

I was going to watch it, like I do all of the big fights, especially all of Pac's fights, but the closer I got to the fight, the less impressed I was with it. I don't really get the Pac hate, the man did what he could, and he did it better than Mayweather did. And he's actually fighting. But Shane looked really shot, and he's starting to sound worse and worse in interviews. The man better hope his girlfriend doesn't leave him when he retires, because picking between a hottie and long-term brain damage isn't always an easy decision to make.magnu231https://www.blogger.com/profile/16019733754401012265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130396615173181257.post-75018534091164973512011-05-09T12:03:55.099-07:002011-05-09T12:03:55.099-07:00shane saw the final bell too(and it wasnt because ...shane saw the final bell too(and it wasnt because of mannys mercy)...where are all the pac fans who swore, after watching what floyd did to shane, that pac would take mosley out easy...they were convinced and pretty sure of it.....shane was walked down by floyd....he was able to hang on and run to survive against pac....and you know pac wants to take him out...but he cant cut off a ring effectively enough....he can easily beat up guys who cant move and stand right in front of him....this fight stunk and was uninspiring...the whole thing sucked...shane had no biz getting this fight and payday in the first place...which is why this wreaked from the start...you had shane sucking mannys dick leading up to this fight and even throwing jabs in floyds direction at pressers...."hey guys i really appreciate this 5 mil payday i dont deserve....ill sprinkle in a knockdown for manny...then ill run...id really like to keep my streak of not being ko'd alive...appreciate it guys"......ricky roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797438136137587990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130396615173181257.post-57636321510387560102011-05-08T15:48:46.934-07:002011-05-08T15:48:46.934-07:00Great column as usual.

It pains me to admit that because Shane has always been one of my favorites. But after Mora how could anyone believe the fight would go otherwise? And this gets to the heart of my frustration with Pacquaio, and boxing in general. I can't really criticize his management for giving him lucrative and (often very) winnable fights; that is after all their job. But when I know the fix is in, fight after fight, no matter how spectacular his performance it leaves me cold. And while this charge could be leaved against any number of boxers for some reason for me it truly robs me of enjoying (though not appreciating) Pacquaio. I agree that if Manny were to fight any of his name opponents in their primes, with the exception of Morales, the result would likely have been the same but still he doesn't elicit the same feeling I have for other fighters. <br /><br />I think, like you, I am killing time. To really know Pacquaio, as I feel I know other boxers, I need him to fight Mayweather. Everything seems a prelude to that. His greatness to me feels counterfeit without that final seal, rightly or wrongly.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978817122027226235noreply@blogger.com
