    Everyone apart from his fans wont give him credit because he was running from a one armed Pac

    Pac having issues with his shoulder makes it worse for mayweather he was clinching and running from a guy with a ****ed up shoulder

    Unfortunately it's not the general public who decide how great a fighter is, it's people who actually know about boxing, hated fighter yet somehow mangled to get a 60-40 split against the most beloved fighter ever, hilarious

    I dont care about the shoulder situation, everyone is supposed to be ready for the fight if they agree to step foot in the ring, but Floyd will not get love from anyone but from his immediate inner circle who benefits from his riches and perhaps from a few nut jobs over here and there who invested a lot into him. Anyone who loves the sport of boxing simply cannot appreciate his horrible style, constant dirty tactics along the rounds and his gift decisions in the end.

    the way mayweather won is bad for boxing, he ran and held
    no sane person wants to see that. he had the opportunity to show the world exciting boxing, take risks, but he only thought about his own short term gains

    Who gives a **** about general perception they don't know **** about boxing. Boxing fans know the real deal and that is PAC got that work and took that L which will be recorded in the history books for all time.:hi::deal

    The shoulder excuse is awful. Pacquiao is a terrible loser.

    The public associate boxing with toughness, toughness with toe to toe fighting and defensive mastery with running. His style just isn't what people want or associate with an ATG fighter.

    Floyd knew this from day one, that's why he developed the Ted Dibiase villain persona. It's a masterpiece really.

    i feel really bad for Mayweather. did he actually won the fight? cause when you go online (fb, twitter, everywhere except here on esb) everyone is still behind Manny.
