    I wouldn't take it as far as to say that Floyd didn't win, but what I will say is that the fight wasn't as lopsided as many Floyd fans here claimed it was.

    I watched the reply without the distraction of the fight party going on in my house and without question Pac took rounds 3,4,6,9,10. I was baffled at how the judges and Harold Lederman were giving Floyd rounds for doing nothing but being elusive.

    exactly but with me I had Pac winning 7 rounds

    Pac was the aggressor and he had landed the better shots

    Conservatives just got a majority. President Bush jr was voted for a 2nd term; Just because something is popular does not make it a good (or credible) thing.

    I copy here some points from another thread.

    Lederman gave the 2nd for Pac. Rafael gave the 3rd and 5th to Pac. Two of the official cards gave him 9 and 10 too. Pugmire gave the 7th and 8th to Pac. Gareth Davies scored round 8 for Pac and after 10 wrote that "controversy is brewing". Bob Velin from Boxingjunkie gave Pac rounds 2, 3, 7, 10. Rounds 4 and 6 are not debatable. If you add that up (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) you already have a case for a 117-111 (!!!) Pacquiao victory and, needless to say, all these scorers are credible and in high regard. Even if you look around here on this forum, people making an argument for a clear Mayweather victory are very diverse in actual scoring round by round.

    It is of course artificial to combine the Pacquiao scores from separate scorecards, since approaches and perspectives are diverse, and you cannot cherrypick without disregarding their integrity. Still, the point is this: it was an extremely close fight, in which Floyd was slightly closer to victory than Manny in the eyes of most observers. He could fight at his pace most of the time, he kept ring generalship most of the time, he avoided Manny's attacks well, but NO WAY it was a 118-110 margin, nor a confident, "easy" work for Floyd.

    Why didn't the article mention whether Pac's cuts from the third Marquez fight healed?

    If you scored it 118-110 than you have bigger problems than your man crush for Floyd. You need new eyes.

    I think people are ****ed because Floridans are trying to discredit Pac and make him out to be some type of fraud when real boxing fans don't believe that for one second.

    Under the biggest stage and the brightest lights when the entire world was watching. Floyd Sr was the best trainer when it mattered the most. His intensity and passion in the fight plus he was giving updates and direction to Floyd Jr.

    Roach offered little to no direction and he wasn't motivating IMO... Roach, Arum and Manny all wilted vs Sr, Haymon & Jr.

    Floyd Sr should finally get trainer of the year.

    I think everyone got that impression not only his father i have never seen Mayweather fight that scared before ever his eyes were about to burst out

    As soon as Mayweather felt Pac's power he forgot about the game plan of walking him down and just ran and held on.

    His father wanted him to walk him down and put a beating on him but Mayweather knew couldn't so ran

    Mayweather trains himself

    That being said, Roach really dropped the ball

    Pac is far from a fraud, he's a great fighter. He just wasn't the better fighter that night. Plain and simple. We'll never know if he'd be the better fighter on another night, as with any other fight.

    Didnt see any running in the fight. At all. He outboxed him, and made him afraid to throw. He tamed Pac and made him afraid to throw anything.

    48-0

    Edit: didnt notice who OP was. I wasted a minute of my life on a troll.
