Scores were wide was a lot closer than the cards, I had Mayweather decision but this fight overhyped, probably didn't do much good for boxing.

I had it 117-111 for floyd and was rooting for pac. he wasnt taking any risks. didnt roach watch the maidana 1 fight? lol. joke coach roach.

Terrible performance by both. Mayweather slap boxed his way to a win while Manny did nothing and threw rounds away. Worst Ppv ever glad i didnt pay it.

Floyd mayweather is the best fighter of this generation. Nobody can deny that now.

Its still highly debatable, mainly because of the way he acquired all of the names on his resume. At the end of their primes. His is a story of careful management, great skills, and good timing.

Its like Leonard vs Duran 2, where Leonard is on record as saying they waited until it was clear Duran was so far out of shape that he wouldn't be able to prepare by the time of the fight before they made it.

He has made a career of moves like that.

Its a shame because maybe he would have still come out on top if he fought all of these fighters when the fights were relevant.

Maybe if he would have fought Margarito, Cotto, Mosley, Kostya Tszyu, etc he would have beaten them all.

Greatest fighter of their generation still goes to Pacquiao, just as greatest fighter of their Generation still goes to Duran, even though he went on to lose to Hagler, Hearns, and Leonard 2 times.

Pacquiao Did Barrera, Morales, Cotto, Margarito, Marquez etc... He fought the tough fights when they were relevant, instead of fake retiring several times to wait for all of the legitimate threats to fight each other and then to come back and fight the left overs.

Although I do give Floyd credit for the win over Canelo, that was good win, but he should have followed that up with other top competition. Not Guerrero, not Maidana, not Ortiz, not moving Marquez up from 135 to 147.

He created a career full of asterisk for himself, like Roy Jones did, but unline Roy, he doesn't have wins over the other two best fighters of his generation in their prime.

Its really sad, and Floyd is going to regret it after he has retired.

Too easy,

What happen to bad ass Pacquiao, nothing!!!!!!!! Lol dude couldnt land *****

Easy too easy, easy Money for Money

[Weltschmerz]

That was honestly a pretty easy win for Floyd. He did a lot of holding, maybe he watched some Vladimir fights.

I thought it was a very exciting fight. I don't know about everyone else, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Was it the fight of the century? Maybe. All i know is I'm happy to have paid for the PPV. Good quality entertainment and production through and through.

Cong**** to Floyd for staying undefeated. Also Manny is still a legend and has nothing to be sad about. Both guys are certified hall of fame legends.

I gave Pacquiao ONE round. Some thought a shutout.

All this fight confirmed is what I said from the beginning, Floyd is TBE at picking the exact moment when a formerly great fighter no longer has it.

I said before the fight, this story of this fight would be Mannys lack of legs and his inability to create angles like he made his name doing.

Thats all we saw. A guy that couldn't move around anymore. More than that, Manny was having trouble pulling the trigger, another sign of old fighter syndrome.

Its really disgraceful that we as fans were treated to a fight between this version of Pacquiao who as I said before, isn't even a shell of himself, and Floyd.

Floyd for his part did excellent, and showed why he is a legitimate great, but it was on show for the entire world how badly fadded Pacquiao is.

Also disgraceful was Kenny Bayless...

He didn't issue a single warning to Floyd for holding, even though he was not just holding, he was refusing to let go even as he tried to pry them apart.

What we did find out is that Pacquiao has the power to hurt Floyd. 5 years ago, I am now convinced that Pacquiao would have won.

Its a shame that we didn't get to see that fight, biggest travesty in the sports history.

What we have is excuses he had angles foot speed hand speed against his last three opponents but since Floyd made him look like an amateur the fight should of happen 5 years ago when Floyd reflexes hand speed foot speed and power was better
