Floyd versus Manny wasn't close. Every time Manny had some success he would just cease to preserve his own energy. He didn't fight at the high octane level he needed to. Floyd landed the cleaner shots, he controlled the pace (which is a scoring criteria), he had the better defense, and neither guy was really effective with their aggression. Yes Manny did land the heavier blows when he was able to land but the man himself said he thought he only hurt Floyd 3 times. And those three times were in the rounds that the judges gave him which were rounds 4, 6, and 9.
You keep referring to Marquez's quote but Marquez has always maintained Floyd would beat Manny regardless. In the HBO documentary before the fight Marquez said "Mayweather is more intelligent than Pacquiao." And I'm sure Marquez didn't thank Manny won that fight on May 2nd.
Clinching is not really a foul per se but when you do it excessively like Broner did against Porter it IS a foul. And like I said to you in the last post even if Floyd was deducted two points he would have STILL won the fight! That is just the simple math.
And fouling would be like Manny hitting Marquez while he was on the canvas in their first fight. That kind of move can get you disqualified ala Roy Jones but Manny wasn't. I also thought Manny lost their third fight but got given a gift decision. But I didn't see the same uproar from Pacquiao fans.
