    Void had to cheat. Pac had a bad shoulder, boxing commission said they would allow him to take a pain shot, but they lied. They did allow Void to take pains shots and why the IV?

    Talk of Void fighting Golovkin in comeback fight.............Golovkin by knockout!!!

    Ortiz, Berto, Maidana all gave Floyd tougher fights. Not saying much because pacman was dominated like they were

    Floyd was very cautious in this fight but i would not say Pac was his toughest fight. Floyd didn't have to make any adjustments during the fight at all. After the first counter Manny was hesitant to throw and did not make any adjustments of his own. From a mental standpoint it was one of his easier fights. He used his length and distance to control the fight and Manny could really never figure Floyd out. That why you see the low punch output from Manny.

    The first Maidana and Castillo fight were exponentially tougher for him. I'd say the Judah and Augustus fights as well.

    TBH, his performance against Manny was pretty awful. i thought it was around a C level performance from Floyd. Had he fought a little less cautiously, he could've probably hurt Manny.

    I fully agree and have watched it 10++ x's due strictly to the level of technical skills on display.

    I feel far and away the most skill ever in a ring at once of all time.

    Only ggg v ward could rival that and possibly only be surpassee by ggg v kovalev

    That pac, you speak if can fight that way against only a much lower level of fighter, bever against a muxh superior fighter had pac e er fought that recklessly , even against jmm he was calculated.

    He tries that throw until one drops **** w I th fmj and he'll get tore to pieces and laid right in hus face

    Floyd made it look easy but his level of focus and concentration the whole fight had to be on. He didn't allow any room for error.

    If Pacquiao wasn't so gun shy it would of looked even easier as the right hand counter would of drilled Pacman all night.

    pac landed more harder effective punches. fact.

    pac had better defense and executed more and better counters than fluid. fact

    pac moved more forward on a reverse bicycle mode fluid, and fluids punches had little effect on that. fact

    pac beat fluid with one effective arm despite being denied painkiller, while fluid was allowed to numb himself up with xylocaine, pump himself full of peds masked by 750ml IV (for which he got a special TUE 21 days after the fight) with usada's blessings... fact.

    118-110.

    Your boy got dealt with. Deal with it. All it took was one sharp counter in round 1 and Pacquiao suddenly realised it was Game over.
