    Yes, I did have pac winning at the night of the fight. I could understand a 116 - 112 score for Floyd, since as I said many rounds were close, so not a big deal if you flip a couple of rounds.

    The fight wasnt between PAC and Maidana, remember?
    Floyd had better punches landed against Maidana..

    How could people have Pac winning that fight is beyond me, it's just completely incomprehensible to me how anyone could come to that conclusion.

    Pacquiao fans must have been watching some other fight, maybe they were watching the Bradley fight.

    I like Pac, but I knew Floyd was going to win (and called it on here multiple times).

    Floyd should have fought several guys including:

    1) Winky Wright
    2) Paul Williams
    3) Antonio Margarito

    They are all long rangy fighters that would give him a good fight, because he wouldn't have his normal reach advantage and couldn't run as much.

    116-112.

    Paul Williams was long and rangy. The problem is, he didn't know how to use that reach. And he could be outboxed. Look at the Martinez I, Lara, and Cintron I fights.

    Pbf is pad this prime his last prime fight was jmm. He wasn't great with his right hand he was great with his jab defense and ring generalship. Which all came into play.

    Pbf is faster if you want to say better reflexes fine I already knew that going in and have said as much. He has the more useful speed combo punching is overrated.

    The fights with jmm were the main reason why I knew pbf would always beat any version of PAC easily. Pbf is like jmm x10 because he's longer has better defense and the better athlete. Size wasn't really a factor like PAC said he's fought and beat bigger guys than pbf. The only size in this fight that would be key was reach because pbf knows how to use it.

    "I told people for years that pbf was faster and had better footwork than PAC"

    and you were proven wrong. Self-criticism is a nice thing though.

    What an idiot. Maidana landed many more significant punches than #48 against Floyd. Not even close.

    Well what I saw was PAC getting the better of Floyd when it looked like a boxing match, both out punching and out manuvouring Floyd. Truth be told I also saw May get better and resorting to mostly not box. One guy was pushing the other and it was not Floyd who pushed PAC.
    If there ever was a rematch I think Floyd would win convincingly though, because it was clear to see he was getting smarter.
