I don't think it's that Floyd cannot throw it. He can throw it, but he fights so cautiously these days. Floyd Sr gave him similar instructions versus Guerrero, to throw the right hand immediately followed by a left hook. But instead, Floyd would just throw the right hand, land it, and that's it. Doesn't want to risk the follow-up, doesn't want to risk throwing combinations.This was a pathetic effort, by Pacquaio. He was afraid of being countered and was being hit clean at will.
My sister thought Floyd got hurt buy the left in i believe round 2, but I "tried" to explain legs in boxing to her. When you are truly hurt, your legs wobble and you are slightly unsteady. Floyd put his high guard up with his legs straight and just calmly watched pac through his guard. From then on it seemed as if Floyd did not truly respect his power.
And I don't believe that Floyd can throw the left hook like floyd sr wanted anymore. That hook from the Corrales - Hatton days was truly lethal. This fight would have been much worse for pac back in 2009-2010.
If someone is upset about the "excitement" factor of the fight, blame the lesser skilled guy who refused to go out on his shield for your entertainment.Comment

Watch the fight with an unbiased eye, and you will see. Same with the Bradley fight. The 1st fight was legitimately close, people were drinking the Pac Koolaid, and label it one of the biggest robberies ever, and pretend Pacquiao shut tim out, but Tim was slick, and boxed half the fight, and stole rounds.Comment

B4 I read the comments^^^^^this! Take nothing from Pac & give credit to Floyd! All my in laws are asian (Hmong) and they showed respect to May. He fought the perfect boxing match vs Pac. NO EXCUSES 2NIGHT! HE totally outclassed a fighter that should've been his equal, no debating. Maidana gave him a better fight! Styles make fights#Comment

you are never the same after a ko like that,everyone said it and they were right.yea right.. thats why he blitzed three consecutive opponents after that.. two of which were undefeated champions. . look to me like he was on a dominant win streak.. and just ran into the greatest pure boxer ever and got schooled, no shame in that. But there is shame in making excuses.Comment

Even the rounds they gave to Pacquiao he only landed a few shots, the slow mo's were showing Pacquiao's combos hitting nothing but arms and air.

I scored it a draw, but if I did have to choose a winner I would choose Floyd, despite the holding and running. He still played within the rules although like a puzzy. He is the kind who would do anything to win. He admitted it in the press conference. Who else would "hire Alex Ariza just to make the other guy uncomfortable." Most boxing greats just fight.Comment
