Mayweather-Pacquiao was 7 years ago.

Not gonna lie after Pacquiao was left for dead against Marquez I thought the Mayweather fight would never happen. Was it 6 years too late? Of course but I’m glad it happened. I threw a huge party and met my wife to be. And I’m grateful for that.

I remember my brother in law had just bought his first house and we threw a big party for the fight.
He had his TV set up and some couches delivered that day but not much else.
We had a great time even though the fight wasn’t great.
Went as I thought it would. Pacquiao had just been in too many wars. 2009/2011 PAC would have given Floyd a tough out.

Manny couldn't do anything because of his bum shoulder and Froids running and hugging.

Like I said, the fight was 5 years too late and Pac was already getting shopworn.

Excuse me, Pac won fight a draw at worst. Floyd was in survival mode should have lost rounds 10-8. You only see people that defensive in survival mode, haven been hurt and trying to get through round after being buzzed. That's the only time you should be allowed to be that defensive. And of course if you fight like you've been hurt, which is Floyd s default setting Floyd should be losing rounds 10-8

Floyd didn't "run", he fought the way he always has. Pacquiao just can't cut off the ring to save his life.

Naw, Floyds output dropped and was less efficient than normal, he worked extra hard to stay out of range. That 6 inch reach advantage was just too much, just showed that these two men naturally belonged separated by 1-2 weight classes.

“The best fighter I ever fought probably was Manny Pacquiao,” Mayweather said. “It's because of his movement. He's a hell of a fighter and I can see why he won so many fights and I can see why he's going down as a Hall of Famer. It's just certain moves he makes.”

I remember visiting my mum for the weekend at the time and watched it in her house on PPV

Even though the fight happened years too late, the buzz at the time was still crazy, east to forget that now.

It wasn’t a great fight, typical Floyd win from the back end of his career but it was quite surreal seeing them both in the ring fighting after years build up.

Im glad that era has gone, from around 2009-2015, this forum was crap, just flooded with Floyd and Manny threads. (Yeah I had an account before this one). You had to scrawl through pages just to find other decent topics sometimes.

You’re an idiot. Floyd won and won easily. I thought all of the Manny won idiots were gone. I stand corrected.

[Nash out]

The Great Nash watched it with the brother of the Great Nash. The Official Nash out scorecard read 118-110 Mayweather, with Pac taking Rounds 4-6. Then came all the ridiculous robbery calls and excuses, but that's boxing for you. Nash out. AKA, Dr. Boxing.

Fight week was amazing, the vibes both sides were just happy to be there from both fan bases in Vegas all week!

You knew after Round 4 or 5 when Pacquiao backed off pressure, it was over. Floyd controlled the pace opening round with his right.
We were all expecting Pacquiao to go out like Maidana did, but fought like a settled, paid not as hungry fighter.

Floyd should get more props for this though, he could have never fought Manny in the first place even if Manny was out of his prime. Just glad it happened so no what if.
Only what if is if he fought Pacquiao in 2010

It's funny reading some comments people keep talking about 09-10 Pac like Mayweather was not younger long story short Pac was never going to outbox Mayweather if he didn't catch him like Shane did he would get outclassed
