    Manny wasn't Manny, because he wasn't allowed to be Manny. Floyd snuffed out his attack, simple as that. Manny wants his fighters to run in to him head first, he pretty much said that in his interview. Floyd being on the back foot and moving meant Manny had to reset often and couldn't get going. We've seen this many times with high volume punchers getting shut down by better moving technical boxers. Manny couldn't get off, because his inferior footwork didn't get him in a position to throw his combinations without leaving himself exposed to the counters. He would also end out badly out of range due to his lack of height and reach. No one controls distance as good as Floyd does. Basically if Manny was throwing combos in the centre of the ring, he would be out of range. If he tries to rush Mayweather to the ropes, he would get countered or shut down again by Floyd's shoulder roll and picked off with right hands,which is what happened.

    Floyd shut him down, simple as that. If Manny goes on to face a lesser fighter after this fight, you will see the usual aggressive Manny again.

    Anyways, I had it 8-4 for Floyd.

    It's a 50/50 fight which is why I voted "Draw".

    Floyd won the fight, Pac won the event.

    Pac will go down as the better/ more entertaining fighter while most will see Floyd as an excellent technical fighter that they won't re-watch the fights of.

    Pac won the weigh-in :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Pac's will be remembered as a sore loser. GUARANTEED. I don't see how any professional boxer or writer can condone Manny whining that he won.

    There are 41 IDIOTS on this board as of now voting draw or win.

    Why are such threads even necessary ,seriously? Money,dominated do thoroughly it wasn't even close! At best maybe it was Manny 9-3 and I'm being generous. The stats say he threw over 800 punches and landed 80 while Money threw 435 landing 140.
    Who was more successful? This always happens! I remember all the way back to de la Hoya and everyone else in between Cotto,Hatton,Maidana and Marquez ,Floyds haters would jump up after the inevitable whining "B-bu-but....he wasn't at his best/he couldn' follow his gameplan."
    Now the latest-apparently Fanny hurt his shoulder! Newsflash! Money is just too good for mortals at his class! Deal with it-he's the GOAT.

    115-113 Pacquiao.

    I gave the 12th round to Pac cause Mayweather refused to engage.

    Lederman 117-111
    Farhood 118-110

    You act like it was out of the norm. 3 out 5 knowledgeable people had it as close to 118-110 as 116-112. If you throw out one high an one low from the five of them, you get 117-111. That's 9-3. A dominant performance.
