    That's what people don't understand. Pac style-wise matches up well with Mexicans who stand in front of him and trade toe-to-toe. Uneducated boxing fans get carried away quickly.

    They mistake a toe-to-toe war for true display of boxing skill. If that was true then Gatti should have mopped the floor with Floyd and we all know how that went.

    Pacquiao didn't throw any punches because he would have been countered immediately and knocked out.

    This sort of....not that i think he would've been knocked out, but everyone knocks mayweathers power, SOMETHING keeps most guys he fights from just charging him. He doesn';t have real KO power but when he counters guys with the right hand, they don't like it, and they stop pressing him as much.
