Because none of those greats back peddled all night long and Floyd never did this in his other matches either. Floyd didn't just KO people from counter punching, he did it by shifting between aggressive and defense. People got use to his Technical side that they are forgetting this side of Mayweather but he was just happy to score in this match and never really looked to hurt Manny. This is why people are disappointed. I wanted to see the merciless Floyd. To make things worse, as you guys have mentioned Manny was also underwhelming in many levels. This is the reason there shouldn't be a rematch. Their combination is boring as hell! |
The merciless Floyd is long gone along with the Merciless Manny. Age along with wear and tear on the body plays a huge role on boxers eventually. Every boxer goes out of their prime eventually so you cant blame any of them for something they cant control. However you have give Mayweather his credit for always finding a way to win despite time being against him so late in his career.
