    So you believe the 118-110 of Dave Moretti 's was a true result thenj. Mayweather won on ALL his fight scorecards but he didn't really win all his fights

    He won the scorecards fighting in his hometown, the same exact town he lives in.

    IMO he won 8-4 or 7-5, but that doesn't mean he didnt cheat his way there. Man grabbed for dear life, ran around the ring, and bent over below the belt all night. It was his most cautious fight in a long time. Pulling all the tricks in the book.

    The way he fought Mosley or Maidana 1, or Cotto 1 or even ODLH was much different. He fought Pac like, how do I minimise the amount of actual boxing in this ring, get my potshots in, and run.

    It becomes a point tag game, not a fight.

    I personally don't care where he won at. The fact is that he won going away and would do the same thing if they fought again.

    That's a matter of opinion and be applied to every fighter out there.

    Well he wouldn't win if they fought in Manila.

    I'm just saying, people saying, thinking it was an easy fight, I personally scored it 8-4 and maybe 7-5 so it was close enough, in Floyds hometown. Put it in Manila, a lot of things changes, Pac gets the cortisol injection on his shoulder, the ref doesn't allow Floyd to keep bending below the belt and hug his way out of exchanges. And when they exchanged Floyd risked getting tagged, and we saw Pac hurt Floyd twice when he tagged him. That's 2-3 rounds only that needs to swing, you think it couldn't go Pac's way?

    I wish Floyd just fought Pac honestly, just boxed him, counterpunch him, then we will really know who's boxing skills were the best. But he corrupted the game with legal illegal moves, like a Ruiz or Ward victory. Which is why I can't say anything bad about Morales victory over Pac, that was legit, and JMM IMO beating Pac fairly in the 3rd fight. 4th fight is suspect because we all know he had the best PED man in the business for that fight.

    Floyd only fought in Vegas where he knew the State Commission & Vegas boxing would ensure he kept his 0
    He could have really been one of TBE he had the talents but lacked the cojones of an ATG

    Can't take anything away from Floyd, he is one of TBE IMO.

    SRL, Hearns - the only 2 fighters in history I would favour over him. Duran, Pryor, ODLH, Pac all prime would all be 50/50.

    SRR - no idea how to rate this man. He fought in an era where from just using the eye test, the talent wasn't as good, he was possibly 2-3 levels above the rest of the fighters for that time.

    Well I'm not a Mayweather or Pacquiao fan, actually when they fought I wanted Pacquiao to win but I also believe Mayweather has been the better fighter over the last 10 years.

    So who's fan am I? Who's "side" do I take?

    I have zero agenda, it's just my opinion, if some believe I'm wrong then so be it, is just opinions.

    I have to tell you, I wanted Pacquaio to beat Mayweather, I was supporting Pacquaio.

    But the fac is he lost, I scored it to Mayweather, I didn't want to but I had to.

    The rights and wrongs of that fight happen in lots of other fights, there are different levels of unfairness, advantages gained and lost from a terrible referees to shocking judges and also to things outside the ring, things that happened before fights..

    I can only judge the 36 minutes they fought for and Mayweather beat Pacquiao over those 36 minutes.

    And there was not a damn thing Pac could do about.

    In summary a master taking a grasshopper to school.

    Very impressive performance by Pac but the fact is Matthysse's lost every time he's stepped up.

    So beating a shot Lucas proves it. I guess him getting schooled when they actually fought has nothing to do with it or him losing to a guy like Horn right? You *******s are delusional.

    Whitaker most likely outworks Floyd. The thing about FMJ is we never actually saw him beat a high level opponent in their prime.
