    i did, did you?

    Pac chased him for 12 rounds non-stop and attacked often. What did Floyd do every time Pac attacked? he often grabbed him or managed to escape.. I would've wanted Pac to take more risks but he was by far taking more risks than Floyd. So you are giving the fighter who took the more risks a hard time for not taking more risks? What about the other fighter? The problem with Pac is that he didn't want to step into a big right or check left hook from Mayweather, you can't blame him. He was trying to strategically attack, baiting Floyd to throw first so he could counter. The problem with this strategy is that he fought an inactive fighter so it didn't quite play out very well. Pacquiao should've taken more risks than he did but he still was the aggressor for 12 rounds, against the supposedly BIGGER man; he still took a lot more risks than Floyd.

    the bar has been set too high. Any inactive round, goes to Floyd. You can only beat Floyd if you do something special in any round, really almost impossible. Floyd knows ALL he has to do is run and land a few soft jabs, that;s it.

    Manny Pacquiao will always be a great fighter in my mind. But he lost to Floyd Mayweather and lost fair and square. If he had a shoulder injury that he and his people chose to keep quiet rather than addressing appropriately then that's their problem. Floyd answered a lot of questions the other night and he finally gave the boxing world what it wanted.. I'm done keeping him in trial..

    If running/defending was this easy, every boxer would do it. Fact is, there are very few boxers who are able to do it at the elite level.

    My exact words "running the clock out" That is exactly what Floyd does. Never seen a boxer do that before. Still can't believe all these people pay top dollar to see him when they know what they are going to get. Wake me up when he retires:happy

    Crying, whinging, moaning, hating, sobbing, pity-w*nking...

    Need to realise that boxing is a science.
    Boxing is an art. Boxing is an ism. Pugilism.
    If you don't respect the fact Mayweather has
    it down to a T. Then you don't respect boxing.
    Pac ruined the fight. Everybody knew what May
    would do and he has done it perfectly for a long time.
    You're all so embarrassing and pathetic it's sad to read.

    Yes, and 4 and 6 were the clearest rounds of the fight, there was the 3rd, 10th and 12th, close rounds that could have gone to Pacquiao also. I didn't give him the 7th, which goes to show how many close rounds there were and that Floyd never won one clear round, it was usually just enough or left you scratching your head a bit.

    Lederman also gave pacquiao round 2, one which I again, didn't. The cards are a little all over the place yet people are acting like it was a masterclass, Floyd neutralized a good amount of Pacquiao by just fighting extremely negative, but also neutralized alot of his own offense.

    you need to have the athleticism and speed. Floyd has it..

    Pacquiao can do it but he's a fighter and believe it or not, some fighters just naturally have a style they feel most comfortable with.

    If you look at the fight, there were rare moments where Floyd attacked and chased Pac, every time Pac easily outran him, making Floyd look inadequate. Pac used movement against attacking fighters like DLH and Marg in the past.

    What if Pacquiao would've used this strategy vs Floyd? Well, we wouldn't have had a fight. He at a least tried to attack but attacking is much more difficult than running and countering.

    Should be his new nickname as he can run as fast as Usain Bolt.

    "Mayweather just kept him off him with long shots and mmoved away from his attacks. He should have stood there and let his opponent punch him in the jaw repeatedly."

    No. Pacman should have tried his best to win and put it all on the line and gone out on his shield if he had to like Hatton did. The fact Pac was smiling after the fight says it all. The Great Filipino robbery.

    he never did, nothing of note, for the whole ****ing fight. what fight were you watching?

    lmao. pac initiated all the exchanges and provided all the action.

    all floyd's reaction was to move away from or stop the action by clinching.

    try again.
