Former champion Austin Trout felt Floyd Mayweather Jr. completely dominated Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Trout was left with a bad taste in his mouth, because afterwards Pacquiao refused to admit defeat and claimed his performance was affected by a right shoulder injury. Trout says Marcos Maidana, who lost two twelve round decisions to Mayweather last year, did faired better against the pound-for-pound king.
Mayweather is looking to return a final time on September 12th. He claims the upcoming return will be the final fight of his pro career.
Pacquiao will be out of the ring until next, after having shoulder surgery two weeks ago.
"Absolutely [ Pacquiao didn't give him credit]. He made the guy who people thought was the number two pound-for-pound great look like an amateur. I thought Maidana gave a better fight. It shows you how great Floyd was, and again, my disappointment is in Pacquiao because not only did he not lay it on the line, it looked like he was either tired or gave up around the middle rounds and that’s not normal of Pacquiao," Trout told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.
