    Floyd was pretty classy in victory, and Pacquiao sounded outright delusional. I was totally expecting Pac to give Floyd his due credit.

    A bit disappointing on Pac's part. The weird thing is I don't think he even believed it.

    Pac would certainly give Floyd the credit had he deserved any. He told the truth and is well received. Everyone saw what happened there.

    I too was expecting Pac to show a bit more grace. A shame really..Roach must be crying in a corner somewhere, with Manny telling him "its ok I know I won the fight"

    When you believe the things Manny believes it's not much of a leap to claim you won a fight you lost.

    Saw what? Pacquiao being a totally one dimensional fighter who can't box? 19% accuracy isn't gonna get it done against someone who can box.

    Pac came off a bit as a douchebag in the post fight. He should have praised Floyd and apologized to his own fans. Not a word of that. Just whining and blaming Floyd lol Pretty classless.

    I can see how it's frustrating from his perspective. He was bringing the action, Mayweather just sat back and ran - from that logic I can see him expecting more rounds. When he watches the tape he'll realize that Floyd was in his comfort zone, dictated the pace and rarely got tagged.

    i wasnt surprised pac thought he won. he won the exchanges, had floyd backing up. floyd keep missing with those right hands when pac fainted him. no body shots, virtually non, that floyd fans would say the difference.

    it looked like pac's sparring was harder. pac\s was barely hit.
    flick a jab to your opponents gloves, win the rounds. thats not boxing.

    never in the fight floyd backed pac down, like people say he would figure out after few rounds.

    floyd never timed pac when pac fainted his ass for the whole fight. maybe 2-3 landed for the whole fight.

    virtually no body shots.

    no pull counters, no clear straight hands that you see in floyd highlights.

    accdg to compubox, floyd won by flicking his jab to pac's gloves.

    He should have had the intelligence to mentally prepared himself for this situation, and planned to have the discipline to not lower himself to that type of response. In some ways, it's fair enough to be emotional and speak your mind, but an intelligent person would've considered this scenario beforehand and realized that you have to keep it classy. Interviewer was a *****.
