Lessons I Learned From Manny Pacquiao And Floyd Mayweather's Fight. by Touchey: 1:26pm On May 04, 2015
Lessons I learned from Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather's fight.

1. Choose your fights wisely. Manny has been asking for this fight for 5 years now but Floyd kept turning it down because he was studying his style. Manny has fought 57 matches in this category and lost or drew 5 of them. Floyd has fought 48 matches (today's own inclusive) in this category and won all. That's because he chooses his fights wisely. Life's lesson: don't be everywhere doing everything. Be tactful. Prepare well and give it a go when you are ready. Don't hustle, strategize instead. Don't beat the air, study to show yourself approved.

2. Do what matters. Floyd threw very few punches but they were clean punches that hit the right points. Manny was busy throwing plenty many punches. I watched that closely. Life's lesson: Don't just get busy, get busy doing what counts. Success in life is not about activities, it is about doing what is required.

3. Don't be in a hurry to succeed. When you meet a tough challenge, be determined to overcome it and concentrate throughout. Manny is a tough hustler throwing plenty punches from first round. Floyd, from time is known to use his first 9 rounds to study his opponent and the last 3 to finish that opponent. This was exactly what played out again. Life's lesson: to succeed, you need to take your time. There's no prize for being the youngest achiever. Professor at 32 years of age and professor at 67 years of age are both professors.

4. God is not partial. He gives success to the best person either you are arrogant or not, either you profess Jesus or not. Floyd is arrogant but he's an excellent boxer. Pac is humble, evangelizes from the ring and professes Jesus countless times but that wasn't enough to win. It wasn't a fight of Jesus against the devil, its just a sport competition between two humans. Dangote is the richest man in Africa, he's not a christian but he's good at his business. Life's lesson: being a christian doesn't mean God will circumvent and disregard natural laws of success for you to be the best. Being the best is a personal effort, God's part is to crown your efforts and make it easier for you.

5. Don't respond to critics, just do your thing! Don't worry if people don't like your style, just continue to succeed. That's all that matters anyway. A lot of people didn't support Mayweather because he's arrogant but he didn't let it bother him. Even when he raised his hands as winner, he didn't get the desired accolades. Manny on the other hand is loved by all because he's humble but that didn't translate to winning the match. Life's lesson: Do your thing, either you win or lose people will talk anyways, so why don't you just win and let them talk? Critics don't amount to anything in life, ignore them

1.Floyd did not turn him down, he asked Manny to subject himself to stringent blood testing, Pacquaio refused. if this fight has happened five years ago, the outcome will still be the same. lots of folks dont know boxing, its still the science and art of hit and dont be hit. its what Ali did in rope a d.ope. people who want to see other people bashing their faces and brain should go start a bar fight. Mayweather Jr, is the preeminent defensive fighter of his generation, the only person that come close is Winky Wright in the defensive art. Manny is fast but Jr, controlled the fight, he neutralized Manny strength, that tells you all you need to know.

2.of course God is not partial, some of the most brilliant minds have been Jews, muslims, atheist etc...its just Nigeria pastors that have made religion into what it is.,. races of the world all have smart, dumb etc

3. Critics have their purpose but you have to know people motive before you take them serious.
happy you have learned this lessons.

When will Mayweather progress to Heavyweight category?
Re: Lessons I Learned From Manny Pacquiao And Floyd Mayweather's Fight. by Eggcelent(m): 2:23pm On May 04, 2015
barcanista. I chuckled when I read your question. Boxers are categorised according to their body weights. A boxer may decide to add/lose weight in order to move up/down a classification. However, there are (dis)advantages to either move. To your question; Mayweather's natural body frame makes it unadvisable for him to go up to the heavyweight class as the extra weight needed to do so will make him too slow to be effective in the ring.

This your number 4 is one of the ironies of this world, one of the most painful and yet one of the most truthful. Its applications are too numerous to mention here. Example of which, a corrupt official will somehow be richer than his honest counterpart and nothing will happen.
