    No I thought it was 2 (4 and 6) but I can see a case for 3. I originally wrote just '3 at best'.

    from the fans perspective, it would be pac -bradley since bradley fought him. floyd did not fight pac, he prevented a fight from happening which upset the fans for the supposed fight of the century and they called it a schooling.lol

    Look at these two threads to gauge an average score, 2 or 3 rounds to Pac is the most recurrent score.

    Or this excellent ****ysis. I'm a big fan of both fighters and was neutral but I believe he won 4,6 and potentially 10 but Mayweather had a good case for that round too, rounds are scored over THREE minutes.

    Dos de Mayo was a landslide

    Pac-Bradley was actually a close fight that I though Pac edged. Mayweather-Pacquiao wasn't close at all and only people who literally worship Pacquiao are trying to pretend it was.

    #48-Bradley was much closer. PBF-#48 was one of PBF's easiest fights and not close at all.

    What do you mean closer?

    The problem with boxing and MMA scoring, is the rounds are scored 10-9. So A can beat B 120-108 by barely nicking every round. A good example is Ward-Bika. Dirty fight but it was close yet Ward was barely winning most rounds.

    Pacquiao-Bradley both times was competitive regardless of the score, but Pac cleanly won twice. Pac won 8-4 both times for me.

    Pacquiao-Mayweather was just a bad fight altogether where neither guy landed much. Mayweather won a close but clean fight. I scored it 7-5/8-4.
