    Il watch it again but man besides maybe 3 rounds were pacqauio landed one or two good punches he was just hopelessy follwing mayweather around getting tagged. No urgency i was so dissapointed in him.

    Floyd can't help it Pac didnt want to come at him with volume punches, angles, endless stamina ... Hatton came at Floyd, Maidana came at Floyd, Guerrero came at Floyd ... why didn't Pac? He was afraid of the counters. Pac was so fing gun shy and clueless. If you were to watch any of those fights, would you think Pac was the #2 P4P fighter in the world? You just can't make an excuse for Pac's performance.

    Manny sat back and waited for God to deliver Floyd in his hands.

    The first second they stood in front of each other and manny was flat footed and not moving I knew something was seriously wrong. Manny beats people because of his amazing footwork, yet this fight he comes out basically trying to brawl? going straight in? WTF. Its very weird.

    or he was injured that's why? check how many times he used the right hand and his total punch output. floyd sensed that injured right arm so he went for it. pac went to the fight injured so he is still a warrior. fact is the fight was not made competitive to make it a good win.

    I agree. Roach should have been all over him in the corner.

    The game plan for Manny was simple. Throw more punches, keep the pressure on, and accept the fact you will be hit cleanly a few times.

    People really think that took the fight out of him? As if Pac hasn't taken hard shots before, includinv getting KO'd... Pac doesn't have it like he used to.
