    To begin their careers, Floyd was 5 divisions bigger than Pacquiao. Yet when they fought, Floyd ran like a coward all night from a former Flyweight champ 5 divisions smaller than himself in a fight many said Floyd lost.
    By "many", you mean 0%?

    As literally 0% of the media press row scored it for Pacquaio.

          Yeah, you know, that thing called Press Row that score the fight ringside.

          0% had Pacquaio winning.

          Naught. Zero. Zilch.

          I.e The opposite of your claim of "many".

              Makes no difference. Pacman was naturally 5 divisions smaller than Floyd. Floyd ran away from Manny all night like a *****, and the crowd Bood him for his cowardice.

                "....Mayweather climbed up each corner and thumped his chest and pointed at the crowd that booed him throughout Saturday. “I know I won!” he shouted. Then he thumped his chest. Then they booed him. Thump. Boo. Thump. Boo. “I know I won!” he shouted once again.

                The crowd booed and booed and booed. The crowd booed when the announcer proclaimed Mayweather the winner by unanimous decision, booed when broadcaster Jim Gray interviewed Mayweather in the ring, booed especially loudly when Mayweather turned his eyes toward history, and, more specifically, to his place in it. To the surprise of no one, he places himself at the top.

                Mayweather thanked God. Boo! Mayweather thanked his father. Boo! Mayweather thanked his team. Boo!....."

                Floyd Mayweather has defeated every fighter he has faced, including Manny Pacquiao on Saturday. But with his adoption of a villain persona, and his history of violence against women, he'll never win what he really wants: the public's approval.

                  Indeed, it doesn't.

                  I was just correcting your incorrect statement that "many" thought Pacquaio won, when in reality it was 0%.

                  Ehhh, nah.

                  Both were WW's at that point and had been for an extensive period, both walked around at 150 lbs.

                  Two men of the same size and it was Floyd who threw more punches (and of course landed more) in that fight.

                    Pacman won his 1st title at Flyweight (20yo)
                    Floyd won his first at super feather. (21yo)

                      Roberto Duran lightweight to Middleweight is 25 pounds, but if you include the divisions he debuted at without getting a title, it include Bantamweight (118). Super Featherweight (130) when it came to fighting a future world champion in Ernesto Marcel. Duran was 17-18 years old.

                      So it be 30 pounds at the top level which is quite impressive though less than the other fighters mentioned, if it including when it came to developing after his debut, it be 42 pounds though he didn't beat any notable fighters at 118-126, with his only good win at 130 being Marcel who then went to become a WBA featherweight champion who beat two other champions in Antonio Gomez and Alexis Arguello.
