    The build up/wait and amount of money spent and the expectations is what made it bad.

          Floyd Fanboys be like Floyd dominated but highlights showing Pacquaio was the one landing better shots. You can't make this up. XD

          I have said this before that this Forum is filled with Floyd Mafia living their own bubble. If Floyd says "I am god", his blind followers will all believe him.

          Other sports uses slow motion, not sure why some fans thinks this is not a valid argument to use. The slow motion video on this fight showed us how inaccurate these clowns at Compubox (More like HumanBox errors!), that is why i never use this when discussing fights. I do think Floyd won by a margin and his rounds were very close too.

            All Floyd did was clinch and run.
            Usually the greatness of a fighter in a fight can be summarized through highlights
            Highlights reinforce a fighter's greatness to new generations

            Till this day, they can never show any decent highlights for Floyd in that fight
            And I'm still waiting

            peace out

              It was. Even worse when you know Mayweather was roided up and still ran from the smaller guy

                I had nightmares looking at Pac fight with his arm dangling like that
                It really was about to fall off !

                Pacquiao's Perspective ( ) :
                • A torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder was suffered.
                • The shoulder was reportedly injured during training camp, after mid-March.
                • The injury significantly limited Pacquiao's ability to perform at his best against Mayweather. It was believed the pain returned in the third round.
                • Regret was expressed about not postponing the fight. It was thought the injury would get better on its own, but it worsened during the bout. Pacquiao felt he had to "fight one-handed".
                • Surgery was undergone to repair the torn rotator cuff following the fight

                  he never had the style to trouble Floyd

                  if not an infighter, need a great jab and a great looping right to bring it to Floyd

                  manny has neither

                    Pac waited May out until the taxman came a calling.
                    May would have ended him if Pac accepted random blood testing.
