    You kept telling us that the outcome of this fight was personal to you.

    How are you coping with your loss?

    Did you get the help you need yet?

      You CANNOT honestly say all these guys supposedly "did better" than PAC when they were hit with combos and Floyd could barely land!

      Maidana, Cotto, Alvarez, Guerrero were all tagged with thudding right hands and left hooks! Floyd's best punches vs Pac were jabs!

      People say Pac lost because of what he didn't do without asking what Floyd did! Floyd barely did anything! he was missing a lot!

      These are the facts!

      Pacquiao's offensive and defensive output was more impressive throughout the fight!

        Now the argument is about who's loss was better?

        Fascinating.

          Didn't say that, I said Mayweather exchanged with those guys because they will at least stay in the pocket, Pacquiao is only looking to get off then get out...normally from mid range. Where is the logic in staying in there when he already had Pacquiao measured within the first min of the fight and maintaining distance was too easy?
          No. Floyd exchanged with those guys because he could beat them to the punch and was able to dodge or block their counter. With Pacquiao, Floyd knew that if he doesn't hightail it out of there after throwing one, he will eat 6! Hence, tap and sprint, or tap and hug. And if he stays put too long, HE gets beat to the punch!

          Pacquiao is a tiny guy fighting outside his natural weight. To compensate for limited reach, he adopted an in and out style. Why stay put within reach? Pacquiao never shies away from exchanging. Not even against dangerous guys like Cotto, Margarito, Mosely, Morales, Barrera, Marquez... He gives you a chance!

            You remember what happened when Pac would get his combos off while Floyd was in the corner?

            Floyd just dodged and rolled everything.

            Floyd made Manny look like a regular inaccurate volume puncher.

              What lie? The truth is right up on boxrec FLOYD Mayweather W over Manny Pacquiao.... But how come you can't answer a simple question? You broke the whole fight down and said it could've gone either way... Where is all the outrage? Pacquiao was the guy the people identified with, he's who they were rooting for. How come there was no outrage over the fact that he lost a fight that he should've won?

              No calls for an immediate rematch ... Nothing... Why is that?

                In all honesty, all that is irrelevant, I hope you understand that yourself. Fact of the matter is, Mayweather hasn't always had that much control over range, against Maidana, Cotto, DLH, Castillo...it was never the case, simply because those guys possessed a jab, can cut off the ring and aren't reluctant to stay in the pocket.

                Mayweather found his range within the first minute of the fight, you do understand that right? You do understand that straying away from whats working, especially in your biggest fight up to date is about as ****** as it gets, right?

                  I suppose this is pretty fair. I feel like Pac landed more clean, telling blows than people credit him for, especially in comparison to other fighters. Sure Mosley's 2nd round is still the best individual round but that was far from a competitive fight from the moment that round ended.

                  Also this is missing ODLH.
                  yea relatively speaking, pacquiao wasn't the worst performer. the fight by itself only looks bad because pacquiao didn't do what he was supposed to do, what many people expected him to do. it was a lackluster performance.

                  i only mentioned fights post-retirement, that's why oscar isn't listed.

                    No I did not read someone say that Floyd should have compromised his range to give Pac a chance.

                    Are you kidding me right now?

                      How did Floyd get hit with so many clean counters then?
