    Do you agree with TJ here?
    He feels very strongly about this but I hear his other personality is seeing the fight a different way.

    I was salty after the Pacquaio loss because Pacquaio is my boy, but Floyd won. He didn't run, he just beat him.

    Was Pacquaio at his best? Probably not. But, even with Ariza in Pacquaio's corner, I still don't think he would be able to beat Mayweather.

    He could perhaps make it more competitive, but honestly, I don't know if anyone can beat a highly motivated Floyd Mayweather.

    Honestly, I don't even know if Hearns could beat him anymore. Floyd never fails to surprise me.

    I'm done betting against Floyd.

    It took me all day Saturday to recover. I was mad all day. I had a discussion with my boy though and he told me he was a big time Corrales fan and thought Corrales was unbeatable.

    He said, no way Floyd could beat Corrales. Then Floyd whupped Corrales and it hurt, but it makes you recognize greatness.

    Mayweather didn't run, he didn't hide. He did an excellent job.

    Love him or hate him, he may very well have the best skills of all time.

    Ran like a ***** evacuating the pocket as if were a fencing match. People envisioned a classic and got a ping pong match. Floyd is great, but please fight Kahn and retire.

    Damn man, you were betting against him? :patsch

    It should have been apparent even starting in 2005. He won't be losing.

    The dude's skills are insane. :deal

    I'm glad TJ has seen the light here, now he's a Mayweather believer.
    I heard gangster TJ thinks Mayweather ran.

    it's a 12round sprint medley, clearly Floyd won specially round 12. he's the usain bolt of boxing.

    I honestly thought it was a good fight, obviously not gatti v ward type fight but your insane if you thought it would be......and look what Floyd did to Gatti.

    Pacman is great he truly is just not anywhere near as great as Floyd. It was easy, from the first round pac was clueless he looked lost in there. Roach was nowhere to be seen, quite disappointing really, where and what was the game plan?

    Pac had no injury it was skill levels that defeated him aswell as size. This fight Floyd looked like a big welter, big and strong. I think the Pac camp thought Floyd lost a step after the Maidana fights but that was just due to Maidanas style. May 2nd Floyd looked excellent.

    Both still ATG fighters and I would watch a rematch. Casuals and fanboys hated the fight as most wanted pac to win a war but it was never going to end like that.

    I think he moved and used his feet for some that is considered running

    Floyd wasn't running from corner to corner and completely disengaged

    Floyd stayed just in or out of range and was usually in position to counter

    I wouldn't consider this running, running is more of what Lara did against Alvarez

    Floyd sat on the ropes on plenty of occasions and even then Manny didn't attack

    cant blame it all on Floyds fancy foot work pac was gun shy in moments of opportunity

    I didn't see Floyd run, and TJ makes some good points here.

    He may have not of "ran" every second of the fight but he did his fair share of back stepping, waiting, pivoting, shuffling, juking, and resetting all without throwing punches.

    (Not to mention clinching)
