    Mayweather did what Mayweather does.

    If anyone is to blame for this fight not living up to the hype it's Manny.

    We all knew what Floyd was going to do. Same thing he's done his last 47 fights.

    Pacquiao's footwork looked slow, his strategy looked too simple, his attitude was too cautious.

    Floyd is not a fighter, he is a boxer. You can't expect him to make it a brawl.

    You can beat a fighter, but you can't beat Floyd by playing his game. You have to solve him. He is a puzzle that no one has cracked.

    If anyone is to blame for a disappointing showcase of the sport, it has to be Pacquiao.

            No, I've seen Floyd fight and this wasn't his usual win... He did one half of what he usually does but he couldn't flip the switch on Pac. He out pointed PAC but this wasn't impressive...

              Never said it was impressive.

              Floyd had trouble with Pac's timing and didn't adjust to it until the late rounds, but Pac was playing cautious and his footwork looked much slower than the Algieri fight.

              He should've been more willing to follow Maidana's game plan, but his relentless aggression is gone. His so called "killer instinct" was BS.

                Mayweather did what Mayweather does.
                By making sure he has every advantage in a bout? Would have been interesting to see this fight five years ago when it should have happened.

                  PAC was willing to engage, I thought Floyd was gonna pick him apart with counters but Floyd chose to clinch when PAC was throwing

                    I didn't see any active pressure from Pacquiao. It was passive pressure following Mayweather around, flurrying sometimes but never the constant relentlessness that was expected.

                    Pac was complacent and let Mayweather control the distance. He didn't use his footwork to make it uncomfortable for Floyd, he was too cautious and wasn't willing to eat a punch to give a punch. Pac's strategy was simpleminded. He was trying to work the right hook without first establishing the in-your-face relentless aggression that Maidana managed to do.
