    Yes let's change the scoring system so in your head you can make it feel like Pacquiao won.

    I think you missed his lip being busted

    I think a busted lip and having blood over you counts as being hurt

    But ESB told me before the fight Mayweather wouldn't be able to live with the pace and volume of punches Pacquiao threw.

    Oh wait compubox says Mayweather threw more.

    Moral of the story. Pacquaio fans chat ****.

    Aggression it self doesnt score key word is Effective.

    Would say Floyd was the better ring general keeping the fight in his preferred distance, and reducing Pacs punch out, Defence and clean punching are in his favour also.

    Manny seemed to care about those punches or why else throw so little punches? May not have hurt him but they kept him honest.

    Manny's best punches had slightly more of an affect on Floyd than Floyd's best punches had on Manny. Manny's best punches had more force on them then Floyd's best punches. You can tell via slow-mo replay. When Manny hit Floyd, it moved Floyd, it backed Floyd up and made him have to step back, and re-assess his running angles, whereas Floyd's best punches didn't back Manny up at all, Manny just ate the punches, slightly paused Manny, and he just kept doin what he was doin keeping Floyd in retreat mode.

    Manny's punches worried Floyd. Floyd's punches didn't worry Manny at all. He just gobbled em up like Skittles.

    Manny can't cut the ring off. So, whenever someone doesn't stand there and let him get off a 5 punch combo, then it's "running." Truth is Manny was NEVER prepared to win against a style like Mayweather's. He was in better condition 5 years ago. But, so was Floyd. It would have been the same strategies from both and the same outcome.

    Exactly. If Floyd doesn't want to sit down on his punches then he's not going to hurt Manny.

    As you said Pac just ate them like candy because there was nothing on them.

    At the end of the day. It's pro boxing. If you aren't trying to hurt your opponent then WTF? What is the objective at that point?

    According to this thread, Algeri and Bradley both lost to Ruslen.. They're punches never hurt him and he hurt both throughout the fights.. If you are not blessed with power, don't even become a boxer because you have no chance to win...:lol:

    Then again, this is the same site giving GGG **** for not getting a KO quick enough.

    If Mayweather punches had no power why did Pacquaio throw so little punches? Seems they had enough power to make Pac hesitate to throw as many punches as he usually does.:bbb
