Do you think Manny genuinely believes he won?

    My memories a little fuzzy but I think I had the fight even at 6 or 8. The commentators in the UK certainly didn't have it that way but as I expected, there was plenty of rounds where Floyd just wasn't active enough. I defo had it 3-1 to Mayweather in the first 4.

    Every round after that went to Floyd though. I found it to be a clean enough win, much to my dismay.

    He was mumbling that he won the fight and didn't say it like he actually believed it. His body language was that of a guy who knew he lost during and after the fight.

    no. he knew the fix was in and still polite but cant help but to tell the truth.

    i knew the fix was in when floyd raised his hands before the fight was over.

    seems like usada aint enough.

    The fight was uneventful and clearly did not live up to the hype. I can certainly see how manny could convince himself he might have edged it he was in the ring and of course wouldn't get the best perspective from a birds eye view. Floyd simply outclassed PAC and any fan of the sport can see this clear as day if you personally think PAC won I'd suggest you take up another passion.

    No. If you have a look at his reaction after round 10 or 11 he looked upset and frustrated.

    He only said he thought he won to save face

    Mayweather won round 1, 8, 9, 10, 11 clearly. Round 3 was close, but I gave it to Mayweather. Round 12 I had it a draw.

    He looked like he was about to cry in the post fight interview.

    Absolutely not. And I lost a little respect for him for going that route. But I also understand why he did it. He just got schooled in a mega fight against his chief rival.

    I think he was coached prior to the fight, that in the event he loses, to say he believed he won no matter what. This way the parasites leeching off him can potentially pave the way towards a rematch where they can exploit Pac some more.

    Only, Pac should have abandoned the script, because the fight wasn't close and he was thoroughly outclassed.

    He should have been gracious in defeat.
