    Just all around a pretty predictable and mildly disappointing fight. You always hope for something unexpected, but we can go ahead and say that Floyd is a level above Manny and it's unlikely that we'd have a different outcome even if both were in their primes.

    I scored it 9 rounds to 3, but of the 3 rounds I gave Manny I only thought 1 of them (the 4th) was clearly in his favor.

      lol this presser is hilarious. floyd admitted he wasn't ready for the fight and it was him and only him who was stopping the fight. he wants everyone to eat their words because of what they wrote 5 years ago? did you fight pac 5 years ago? no. you fought him now. how does that excuse your ducking back then?

          Why did Pacquiao weigh so much?

          152 lbs? That was too heavy for him, even when he fought Margarito he didn't weigh that much. Also does anyone know how much floyd weighed, i would guess 160.

            from floyd the strategy was to tie him up whenever he got close. cheating always pays off

                You know I watched this fight, and Manny's chance to get back into it came in the fourth round when he landed a pretty good left that knocked Floyd back into the ropes. I thought to myself that "this is his moment." Then Floyd dominated the next round and I pretty much figured that Manny wasn't going to win.

                For the life of me I cannot figure out why Manny didn't at least try to throw his left after Floyd's jab, and he completely abandoned his own double jab which seemed to work for him the few times that he did try it.

                Floyd did what he had to do to win, and while it wasn't exciting it was effective.

                There's zero reason for a rematch. Manny should just retire.
                I can answer that question for you no problem. Manny cracked Floyd with a left counter of Floyd's jab in the 4th right? So immediately Floyd started bending all the way down at the waist pretty much everytime he threw his jab out. He would also try to counter Manny's jab so Manny was never able to adapt to it. Adjust baby. ADJUST.

                      Manny lost to a guy that doesn't even like boxing anymore.
