Joe was dismissing Mayweather's notion that McGregor doesn't hit hard when he said this.
Joe, who is generally a rational guy, would be more credible stating that Connor simply doesn't have the power of a Maidana, Cotto, Canelo, or even a Mayweather.
Yet he chose to say this, which clearly shows his refusal to acknowledge the reality of the situation.
No he didn't. He, more than anyone else, knew he was losing that fight. He was the one eating right hands. He was getting caught with counters rushing in and he was the one hitting thin air. Classy Pacquiao actually turned out to be a sore loser.
