    The best moments of the fight belonged to Pac but he just didn't have enough of them. I wouldn't call it easy by any means but I don't think it was Floyd's toughest fight. That was clearly Castillo I in my opinion.

    Maidana 2, DeLa Hoya, Castilo, Judah and Cotto were all tougher fights

    Yeah, those were the two that I was thinking of. Reason I think PAC was better was because Oscar faded terribly after the 6th round and same with Judah. It seemed their success only lasted halfway through the fight while Pacquiao remained competitive and still landed his big left hand all the way through.

    Yup.

    Pac falls under the Canelo/JMM/Guerrero level.

    Actually it was one of his easiest in recent years. The fight was over in the first round and pbf didn't even have to get out of first gear. Maidana hell even berto gave him a tougher fight.

    I agree they where tougher fights but I think Floyd made the fights toughher then they had to be. He didn't really tie up in Cotto or Maidana fights and just looked for trades on the rope.


    Pacquiao wasn't a tough fight at all I mean what did Pacquiao even do in that fight aside from having a good moment in 1-2 rounds?

    No clue, somehow Pac****s think just because Floyd landed 35% of his punches, he had a "tough" fight. :nut:lol:

    The fact is

    Floyd won 10 rounds

    Maidana actually gave a hell of a fight to Floyd, so did Cotto.

    Pac was easy pickings.

    mentally, floyd was scared fighting pac so he avoided engagement in their bout that it became boring. the avoidance of pac for how many years really got to floyd's head that he does not even have a valid reason for his retro IV. there are a lot of videos he made to defame pac before being forced to fight him when his promotional company is losing money on his absurd contracted money guarantee. that money guarantee was one suspect reason they have protected him to win in all his fights. they made all advantages in gloves, weight, and especially drug testing schedule to weaken his opponents. and he calls himself tbe. lol.

    Floyd likely expected Pac to be more aggressive but ended up discovering Manny was scared to get hit. Floyd's right hand lead and counter had Pac tamed.
