Floyd's fights against Maidana and Cotto were more competitive.

    Styles make fights. Remember when Ali lost to Frazier and Norton?, then came Foreman who made quick work out of both. What happened when Ali fought Foreman again?. How did Cotto look against Pacquiao compared to Mayweather?. How did Hatton look against Pacquiao compared to Mayweather?... and the examples are literally endless.

    But most viewed them as significantly easier fights for Floyd.

    Zab quit after the 5th round nose bloodied and was looking for a way out. Lol. Not a mark on Pacquiao's face.

    Because Floyd's defence was really on point against Pacquiao. Manny struggled to get in range to throw shots. Manny has struggled with counter punchers before and had a big reach disadvantage. Also ring I.Q disadvantage.

    As far as scoring goes I saw Manny win 2/3 RDS just off recent fights I gave Cotto 3, Canelo 2-4, Maidana I 3-6, this was one of Mayweather's easiest fight's

    The only reas0n Maidana and C0tt0 did better cuz they could pin him on the ropes. As s00n as pac g0t close Fl0yd run the **** out of there. C0tt0 and Madana grabbed Fl0yd bef0re he c0uld flee.He can't just run, höld and pot shot.He was able to tonight.

    Zab won more rounds than PAC did pac**** and was the harder fight due to styles. Maidana would beat PAC and was a harder fight.

    Yup, and if Maidana from first Floyd fight who threw nearly 1000 punches would beat Pacquiao.

    Face the facts. All of Floyd's recent fights have been competative. Cotto, Canelo, Maidana I and II. Including this, all have been close. Not one of these fights has Floyd been dominant.

    To show that I am being real, Floyd was dominant vs Guerrero and dominant vs Mosley (after the 2nd round).
