IMO Floyd could've forced a stoppage but he chose to play safe and win rounds

    Brilliant game plan! Undoubtedly he could've stopped Pacquiao. Anyway he did well cos he leaved himself a door open for an eventually rematch. If he would've T/K.O'ed Pacquiao most people would've not be interesting to see a rematch.:good

    Pac's chin was shattered before and Floyd has respectable power in his hands. Floyd chose to outbox Pac.

    I was predicting a floyd KO, as I thought manny would walk into his acurate straight hard right, but if he ain't knocking an injured manny out then I don't know about a healthier one who might be able to throw a bit more

    I was surprised floyd didn't KO him tbh

    tbqh I thought what you describe here is one of the things that I thought Manny did well. Early on he had good movement, and he did not let Floyd hit him flush. He either blocked the jab or moved in a way to prevent Floyd from setting up the right. Floyd landed that right a few times later in the fight, but early on I thought it was actually smart strategy and well executed to make it hard for Floyd to land clean. To some extent, what Pac-Man was doing was working. And that's why I legit think Pac won 3 of the first 6 rounds. (2, 4, and 6) And 7 was very close too.

    he is not a warrior. he fears for his "o" and he lacks power so he hugs and runs

    Next to zero chance Floyd would have gotten a KO. Despite not landing much Pac was the one who hurt/wobbled Floyd a few times.
