    I think we need to put this fight behind us now. These guys may fight each other again but it will only be for one more cash-out.

    Firstly, I'll admit I wanted Manny to win. I was disappointed with his gameplan and his lack of aggression cost him big time. But I had Floyd winning 116-112. No arguments over who was the better man.

    However, rewatch the referee instructions just before the first bell. Floyd's face was overcome with nerves, he couldn't stand still and his eyes were darting everywhere. He was breathing heavily. Manny makes/made him nervous.

    Obviously at the end of the day this doesn't really matter. But as confident as Floys likes to portray himself, I think there was some doubt in there.

    Then again manny has never looked that nervous during a fight either. Both looked petrified of what might come back at them.

    I vowed after the Guerrero fight never to buy another Floyd fight and I have stuck to it and never looked back. And what have I missed? Nothing. Not one good punch, not one memorable moment, nothing. A lot of leaning back while punching, running and holding. No thanks

    I agree. Pacquiao was also terrified to throw punches.

    Anyone who watches the fight could see how scared floyd was he always initiated the hold

    He even admitted he had to hold him and be smart

    No not really maybe it was to do with Floyd running and Pac knew he will just be hitting air?

    what about the shoulder as well though?

    I should note I'm mainly talking pre-fight mainly during ref's instructions

    Outclassed.

    Manny's camp were desperate before the fight. Maybe Floyd was more nervous than normal but Manny and his camp were brazenly relaxed and "trivial". They had an escapist attitude and put on an impressive bravado ladened front.

    Even when floyd was standing still manny wasn't throwing anything. Manny was scared of floyd and floyd was scared of manny, simple as that.

    No be fair man

    Mayweather always started the holding and you could see his piecing eyes fixated on manny never seen his eyes like that do you agree?

    Pac had a issue with the shoulder

    You think Manny won, don't you? Or you think with a "fully healthy shoulder" he'd KO Floyd in 1, yeah?

    Floyd looked like he saw a devil I HAVE NEVER SEEN MAYWEATHERS EYES LIKE THAT I THOUGHT THEY WAS GONNA COME OUT

    Floyd also held and grabbed and not let Pac go thats a scared fighter
