Let's be honest. Floyd vs Pac was a lot closer than people made out

This was despite Floyd being a lot bigger and rangier than Pacman :o I watched the fight a second time a few months ago, couldn't decide whether it was 6-6 or 7-5 Floyd. Let's be honest, if we didn't have preconceived notions about who the 'boxer' and 'brawler' were, and how each of these respective combatants had to perform to win the fight, we would have been able to judge this fight more accurately. Also the bias commentary didn't help. Floyd mostly landed love taps, Pac landed the harder punches and did more damage throughout, also made Floyd miss a lot. Floyd landed a lot more 'iffy' punches in this fight. Starts at 1:00

I still get bored watching the second half of their fight, but I do agree with most experts that it was seven rounds for Mayweather to four for Pacquiao after 11 rounds. The final round could have gone either way.

Lmao, if Pacquiao would have been 5 years younger with a "healthy" shoulder, have judges watch the fight in slow motion and Floyd had stood still. Pacquiao would have won clearly. Nope. Pac injured his shoulder vs Oscar as per Bob Arum. That means he still wouldve needed toradol and gatorade.

Punch bags can't shake their heads though. That's how I knew Floyd wasn't a punch bag. Sure whatever you say Einstein.. :lol1::lol1:

If PAC didn't Injure his shoulder he'd have finished that punching bag off. Floyd was literally a punching bag offering no resistance and no counter punching You're absolutely right mate..

He shaked his head as in to said you didn't hurt me but he's right you can't hurt a punching bagweather. After that he stick at what he does best running and hugging.

I'm sure at the end of this sequence of Floyd resembling punch bag floyd shakes his head. That is the sign and cue the judgres can assume none of the punches hurt Floyd or landed therefore not scored for PAC?

Floyd won but Pac showed good boxing skills. OK he lost the fight but didnt do that bad. Mayweather was a heavy favorite I don't see how anyone can have Pac winning though. Most of them are either Filipino or passionately hate Floyd

A guy on another forum did a count, included the time of a punch in the round and what punch it was such as a jab, uppercut etc, he kept asking posters to prove him wrong but I don't think anyone did, he had it close I think the guy you are referring too is a legend in these forums. Yes, no one proved him wrong to this day. The guy proved Floyd's win was a fluke. And to this day it's one of the epic threads in NSB. It's now almost 200k views who know the truth that Floyd's win was a sham. Thanks to that guy. Here is the link of this legendary thread: https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=695333

Not when every other fighter had Mayweather winning. When Pacquiao's own trainer had Mayweather winning. :lol1: Don't waste your time. He is a flat earther. So he's either stupid, stubbornly retarded, or both. He also loves Manny in an unhealthy way.

No it wasn't. How many fighters thought Pacquiao won? I only can think of 1, Holyfield. :lol1: So lomachenko and Duran thinking PAC won don't count? SSM thinking it was a draw shoulkdnt count?

The fact you feel the need to replied on this thread suggests you poersonally think it was close. To those in boxing world it was close. To those outside PAC won easy it wasn't close You have no credibility so whatever retarded gibberish you post or ridiculous thoughts pop up in your head are meaningless.

The fight wasn't close. It was like a 100m race where Usain Bolt wins by half a second. Outside of track, that looks close. In the track world that is a blowout of mammoth proportions. To those In the boxing world, this fight wasn't close. To those outside the boxing world, it was, especially to posters on this board who hate Floyd or love Manny.
