    No, believe me, I know Mayweather negated his offense. I felt Mayweather did a great job defensively, but I do believe Pacquiao's shoulder was a factor as well. How much? I don't know, but enough to make a difference in Pacquiao's approach. Overall, Pacquiao's strange unaggressiveness had to do with a combination of Mayweather and his shoulder.

    Don't know if that's a dig at him, but considering he just fought the best BOXER in the world, Floyd Mayweather Jr., it does appear he wants to continue fighting the best available.

    There. Fixed it for you:good

    'I told my team made a mistake. We were focusing our training on a boxing match when we should've been focusing on a marathon. So, next time in the rematch, we'll focus on boxing and marathon."

    Now I'm a massive Pacquiao fan if I ignore the post-Mayweather **** he's spewed out but this is just pure cringeworthy pulp... you had five years to prepare to fight Floyd's never changing, infuriating but impressive style of boxing and you still continue ''He ran and didn't let me punch him in the face'... it's boxing and if he stood toe to toe only one man wins, that's Manny. And only one man wins if Pacquiao decides to be a cautious terrier dog nipping away but doing nothing to change the situation except some excellent head movement and still getting countered to hell at range, that isn't manny pacquiao's strength.

    That's a fair opinion I believe his shoulder was as much a factor as Floyd's well documented hand problems that Roger said were hurting. Sometimes I think Floyd gets embarrassed he doesn't go for the kill, he has enough power to back people up but no killer instinct so he blames his hands but they do factor in, he wouldn't go for the KO anyway though. Manny wouldn't beat floyd with three shoulders crafted of onyx if that was his strategy, no speed advantage, controlled at range so can't get to the middle where he only really is effective, too cautious and underestimated floyd's power and accuracy.

    Honestly, we'll never know if a part of Manny's unaggressiveness/lack of killer instinct was partly due his injury. We'll never know if Mayweather's lack of risks/offense was because his hands. We'll never know if that was a shadow of the fight that would have been if there was a healthy Floyd and Pac.


    Unless there's a rematch of course, lol.

    I thought Pacquiao fought a very good fight against Mayweather actually. Had he gone in all guns blazing then he would have undoubtedly got knocked out. He was trying to catch Mayweather on the counter

    If Pac showed that feistiness/disrespect when talking about Mayweather in his actual fighting, then we may have seen a better fight.

    Yes, what you saw on may 2, was the absolute best effort that pac could put forth. He and roach both knew too reckless and mayweather eats him alive, too reserved mayweather picks him apart. Pac lost this fight the minute the contract was signed.
    Mark my words,

    prostitutes will give the vaj away for free before pac could beat mayweather.

    It will never happen

    Yea people think Pac was clueless in the ring against Mayweather. His strategy was pretty clear to me. He just didn't win so people assume he never had one.
