    Pac should be at least as embarrassed as Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones are for losing in the olympics.

    Horn fouled and size bullied his way through that fight and most view it as an egregious robbery, so no.

    Obviously an unpopular opinion but I’ve never understood why Pac doesn’t get more **** for this performance. Irrespective of your thoughts on judging or refereeing, it was a really really poor performance by Pac against an opponent he should’ve beaten with his eyes closed.

    Pacman did fight a poor fight early on but can you ignore the part where Horn was fouling throughout the fight without getting penalized and the hometown judges who had it for their man?

    Horn didn't land clean punches, he was worse than Porter in this regard , he was wildly inaccurate with his punches and more accurate with headbutts and elbows.

    Blaming Pacquiao for this loss is like blaming Lomachenko for the Salido loss, you're ignoring a very big component of what caused them to lose and it's a long list.

    He was 38. Losses can tend to happen at that age when fighting larger 'prime' ultra motivated maulers.

    Ali's loss to Larry Holmes is worse. There were talks about withholding his purse for acting like a mere heavy bag.

    It would have been more embarrassing if it was against Ben Horn.
