    Now they keep saying "fight should of happened 5 years ago" over and over again, trying their best to tarnish the victory

    Pac was always overated.
    Without the juice, he cant break an egg.
    And now he is walking on his heels.
    He actually thinks he was robbed.

    Teddy is obviously anything but a Pact*rd, but I have heard him criticise Mayweather for being too defensive and doing just enough to win rounds.

    It's a fair criticism, quite honestly. Wlad gets trashed for it, so I see no reason why Mayweather should be immune.

    What's the point though, why can't they just talk about the fight, ****yze what happened in the ring. They are clearly trying to not give Floyd credit for making history, he has proven he is the best of his era, that is the top story of the night!

    Some guy on ESPN just asked Floyd if his criminal history someone affected his legacy as the best fighter of this era...wth..I guess they should ask Tyson and others the same question...

    Greb while you are most likely right how can you predict a knock out win when you have never seen him fight?

    Tessitore predicted a draw and Atlas predicted Pacquiao would win. That's pretty disgraceful they would make such predictions and then say Mayweather cherry picked Pacquiao. This has been typical of the entire saga between Mayweather and Pacquiao. The media just sides with Pacquiao and trashes Mayweather no matter what. Mayweather's job is to go out there and win and that's what he did. Pacquiao is the one who was well behind on the scorecards and still wouldn't let his hands go for fear of being put to sleep again. Shouldn't he be the one that gets criticized?

    Who cares? They thought PAC was going to throw 80 punches a round it doesn't work that way this was a boxing match and I knew PAC was done after round 2.

    It's bullsh-t ain't it, but we knew this would happen, by tomorrow there will be a new boogeyman, and it will start all over again.

    Anyone that ever tries to compare Floyd to B-Hop is a ****ing idiot. Hopkins KO'd DLH and Trinidad AND he's the only one to win a major title @ 46 years of age.

    Tessatore said Floyd is a top 5 manager. Does that qualify as a compliment?

    For one, I have read enough about him and if you had too, you would know too why I bolded him. Besides, Greb was a middleweight. Imagine you throw Floyd in there with Golovkin...Now imagine a much better version of Golovkin, one who is capable of going 46-0 and 45-0 back to back yearly, beating 18 hall of famers along the way. Just no.
