    Thanks man, I was very impressed with Mayweather live and upon rewatching it, considerably more impressed. Only gave Pacquiao rounds 4,6 it wasn't the typical Mayweather doing whatever he wanted per say but it was close and it was against a legitimate great. I once said Hopkins at around this age was better, I'm questioning that now, just an impressive performance.

      Give it 10 years. He will be top 10 since WW2, top 20 all time. He's right there with Whitaker/Hagler/Monzon but probably slightly below Leonard & Duran.

        How many right hooks did he make Pacquiao miss?

          Yes. It was like Manny realized after the first straight right landed that he was going to lose. Very weak mentally. Floyd basically had to take off round 4 for Manny to actually mount the kind of offensive most of us thought we'd see.

            I think he's already top 20 at this point. Definitely higher than Hagler and Monzon. I'll have to think about Pea.

            Man! He had a counter or move for everything Manny did. And about countering the right hook with the left hook? Lord!

              ATG wise, Floyd is now up there in the Ali, SRR, SRL class.

                The way he kept his jab and hard right hand in Pac's face to make Pac keep his left hand back for defence was brilliant. Made him gun shy

The blame for that belongs in multiple peoples' hands but hopefully boxing will get it's act together and put the best up against the best when it is most relevant and most telling. Not to say this win doesn't matter of course.
                  You mean before the KO like Juan Manuel Marquez Vs Manny Pacquiao 3 when Manny was supposed to annihilate Marquez but rather looked like he got beaten?

                    I think he's the better fighter but doesn't have the greater resume
