    People on here confuse scorecards with actual reality. Let's look at the facts.

    Floyds own trainer and FATHER accuses him of fighting scared.

    Floyd admits Pacquiao was difficult to deal with. An admission if ever there was one that he had a rough time.

    Floyd states that just because he made it easy doesn't mean Pacquiao was an easy fight.

    The simple fact is these boys need to get it on again. There is no mor difficult a fight for Floyd in boxing as of this moment.

    When asked the question who is P4P when he retires, Floyd responds Pacquiao. Yet you still have the Floyd fanboys on here saying Pacquiao was easy work.

    I actually enjoyed May-Pac in terms of boxing skill. They were both incredibly experienced boxers going for it. As a spectacle the fight was rubbish. But as a boxing fan I loved it.

    Pacquiao boxed (emphasize boxed) Floyd better than probably anyone I've seen. No, it wasn't 100+ punches a round Pacquiao, but who else consistently timed and countered Floyd and landed that cleanly through 12 rounds? Who?

    Maidana, DLH, Castillo, Judah, etc won more rounds than Pac, so NO to thread title.

    Exactly. Floyd won't fight Pacquiao again. Why would he?

    Throwing 100+ a round does not work against Floyd (Maidana)

    He won 2 rounds.

    Maidana won 4. Maidana worked him much much harder than Pacquiao.

    Pac sucked big time vs Floyd. One of Floyds easiest wins.

    I still expect a rematch, and Pacquiao definitely should have thrown that many punches. Don't get me wrong, Pac boxed Floyd better than I ever would have expected, but it was still the wrong gameplan. Pacquiao needed to be Pacquiao that night. The extremely awkward, southpaw who throws 5,6,7,8 punch combinations and swarms the opponent. He wasn't that fighter, and in all honesty, that fighter disappeared after 2012.

    Maidana 1 was his toughest fight since Cotto.

    Yep. Maidana actually was a tougher fight than Cotto, IMO.

    Not even close. Maidana I, Castillo I, Cotto - all tougher. I'm not sure that DLH, Judah, Chavez, Augustus, or Corley weren't as well.

    All those fights you name, we're tougher fights then Pacquaio was.
