    Maidana Broner dancing.

    If Khan fought Brook this summer is would have totally overshadowed Pac May...

    I thought the 6th round was excellent myself. Nice back and forth, and I felt Floyd did a number psychologically on Pac that round. Pac really saw he couldn't break through Floyd's guard with his flurries as Mayweather shook his head confidently, and then Floyd fired back 2 hard right hands down the pipe. Not clean, but hard punches that got Pac's attention. (You can start the fight at round 6, with about 1:20 to go in the round to see the sequence I just described)

    The way Floyd came out in the 11th was great, and he was brilliant all around.

    round 4 when pac actually tried to get down. then every round after that when Mayweather just controlled him like hes an avagre fighter. its crazy how Mayweather does that to everybody! I really like round 11, a young Mayweather would've KO pacquiao. he went in there and strarted whooping Pac's ass! didnt really get down because hes older now. young Floyd would;ve Gatti Pacquiao

    I thought Pac was toast after round 3 and was just going to get white washed the rest of the fight. I think it was round 4 when Pac stunned May and backed him into the ropes. I was surprised he caught him with a counter and thought he may have got his timing down. It looked like he briefly had a chance of turning things around.

    Yea that was great i also loved the 4th round when Pac kind of stunned Mayweather and landed some flurries most them blocked though by Mayweather high guard the crowd went crazy at that time.

    Excellent punch. Almost caught him. Floyd saw it at the last moment and started moving back away from the punch but it was too late. Floyd still had his legs and wits about him, and as you said, the flurry was blocked for the most part.

    Even though he landed that punch, I didn't think it was a good sign for Pac. Even when he had Floyd in position to flurry, he couldn't break the guard.

    Yea man to be honest i didn't really expect Pac to stun Mayweather at that moment me and my mates thought we had a fight but of course Mayweather took control.

    Yea he couldn't get through the guard at all Pac went crazy at that moment i think that left got Mayweather attention the 4th round was very good for Pac to bad he couldn't keep it up me and my mates thought Pac had a chance at that moment.

    I also feel Roach has a part to play in this its part of his master plan he has been working on the problem is you can not out think mayweather.

    Round 4 when I fooled myself into thinking Pac had Floyd seriously hurt.

    It seemed like Pac was expecting to be able to time Floyd more often to setup those flurries to win rounds. Foolish strategy in my view, which had Pac trying to counter punch the master boxer and counter puncher.

    That's why I said 'fooled myself'. It was hoping more than anything.
