    The fact that Mayweather dominates his opponents over the course of a fight, rather than knocking them out, doesn't mean it's any less dominating.

    Sure, a knockout is nice. But what Mayweather does, is domination in every sense of the word.
    ok genius. destruction means domination

      Pacquiao wants to fight him at a time where he's coming off of a loss, and a draw.
      No he wasnt. He was coming off a long layoff.

        As opposed to Floyd, who had one fight in three years.

          That doesnt make his statement any more true though. When you havent fought in 1 1/2 years you're not coming off a big win, you're coming off a layoff.

By a stylistic nightmare. A slugger VS a defensive genius. He was dominated after putting Floyd through the scariest moment of his pro career. He wasn't destroyed. Or do you think he was in fact "destroyed"? Please. Enlighten me, grand intelligent being calling me dumb.
            Show me where "destroy" means "to be knocked out".

            "to demolish; ruin; annihilate"

            "to render ineffective or useless; nullify; neutralize; invalidate"

            "to defeat completely"

            Sounds a lot like he got "destroyed" to me.

                When you're facing an opponent who hasn't fought a welter in four years, I think that's the far more important factor.

                  Now all of sudden Pac steps up and wants to fight him? You seriously have to be kidding me.

                  Are you kidding No Ceilings?

                  [Sarcasm]This is going to be the best Pacquiao fight since Pacquiao vs Clottey a.k.a. The Event![/Sarcasm]

                    You're right. I used the wrong choice of words.

                    Coming off a 1 1/2 year layoff, after knocking out the number 1 WW in the world > Getting dominated by Mayweather, and fighting Mora to a draw.

                    In my opinion, of course.
