Let's face it guys...Floyd won the fight but he didn't school Pacquiao

I guess people were expecting Rocky, I must admit I got caught in the hype of a late KO, but from the actual fight I found it quite entertaining. Maybe because you realize every shot is magnified.

People are talking about hard punches Mayweather almost doubled Pacquiao in landed shot's, I can't really blame Floyd it seemed to me he was looking for one good counter and unexpectedly Manny wouldn't attack. I gave Manny 2rds maybe 3 at most, Floyd landed the harder shot's in every rd, Manny's we're so few and far between it's hard not to notice them.
End the end Manny got dominated

Because he was running and clinching, yes and because unlike Algieri, Floyd is definitely more dangereous on counter punches. You can't just jump on him like that. - Well according to Pacturd Nation, Manny was going to walk through Mayweather's weak punches.

Pacquiao failed to cut the distance and engage with Floyd but don't make this sound like Manny was scared or something. NO, Floyd was EXCESSIVELY CAUTIOUS in this fight. - Floyd is the counter puncher, that wasn't his role in this fight. Manny Pacquiao was the guy who was supposed to come with the aggression, the angles, the speed, the power.... HYPE!!!!! Never have been like that. NEVER. Every attack from Pacquiao was being avoided and not even countered as he knows to do. Indeed he was a poor counter puncher last night. Exactly. He was scoring mainly with jab and some light right hands -So light Manny Pacquiao decided not to charge in with reckless abandon? And isn't this a complete contradiction to what you said in your first statement? It is. (not many of them clear shots). Actually Pacquiao managed to counter him in a better fashion (4th and 6th round moments were from counter punches). - Sure he did.Pointing to a couple instances in a 12 round fight is proving what we're saying. Where was the consistency?

Unfortunatelly Manny couldn't do that in every round and that's why he lost. - Why was he trying to counter punch in the first place? Wasn't he role to be the aggressor? All you Pac fans keep ducking this question. FLOYD IS THE COUNTER PUNCHER, NOT MANNY. Why was Manny looking to counter punch? Counter puncher vs counter puncher = dull fight.

Come on, a part from the 1st and the 11th round which were all great Mayweather rounds, he just did the bare minimum to win the others.
That's schooling for you ??? That's sad really if you feel that way.

You're just telling me that Manny lost the fight. I don't dispute that.
So just because Manny didn't jump on him too often, somehow Floyd is justified for his poor offensive match ? No way. He speculated, got the win; congratulations to him. Let the schooling to be something else. - The man was winning practically every round. Why does he need to take more risks simply to impress you offensively? That was the job of Manny Pacquiao to force the issue, both in regard to his role in the fight, and by the fact he was clearly down on the cards. If Manny would have pressed, more action would have happened. Floyd would have had more countering opportunities and we could have seen a fight. Manny was scared bro, deal with it.

So you're admitting that Mayweather didn't do much on the offence; just barely enough to win rounds (not all clearly). - I have never disputed this. Again: That is Manny's fault. Clearly, he either wasn't good enough, or wasn't willing to take the damage necessary, to bring the fight to Mayweather and make him take more risks. It's that simple, and I'll let you decide which it is. Floyd was able to dictate the action so much, that he visibly said "I'm beating him easy" before heading out for the 12th round.

He didn't do **** to Pacquiao dude. You don't recall nothing from Floyd's performance. Just scorring and scorring little punches to win rounds. Sure, he had a wonderful defence and that's about it.
NO SCHOOLING OK ?

Let's get boxing to its fundamentals. PUNCHING. The harder, clearer and sharper you do it, the better it is. Floyd failed to put on a masterpiece from this point of view. Didn't do it. Just pointing out obvious facts here, ok ? As I told you already, he had lots and lots of matches where he landed hard punches on his oppponents. Not today. Sorry. That's why Pacquiao thought he won. He was barely hit hard by Floyd.

It was a schooling. Pacquiao looked lost and frustrated. Manny literally had "no clue what to do" in that ring with Floyd.

From a mental aspect: Manny was absolutely taken to boxing school.
