    Does anyone else feel like neither Floyd or Manny looked that good last night?

    I mean all Floyd did was run constantly throughout the fight & didn't do much at all to hurt Manny. And Manny didn't throw enough punches & just had a lackluster performance. It almost feels like the fight is just "there" & neither fighter looked good coming out of it no matter who got the decision. Just a very weird fight to me.

    Neither look good but Floyd did enough to show that he was the better man which is what everyone wanted to see

      Floyd made Pacquiao look bad. Floyd isn't the Floyd of old, but he's still an extremely smart fighter and did exactly what he needed to do to comfortably beat a Pacquiao that had absolutely no answers for Mayweather's defense.

        One guy admits he doesn't love the sport. The other one is taking selfies during his ring walk. Both made over 100 million. We got played lol.

          I completely agree. Mayweather won but it was closer than that 118-110 piece of garbage scorecard. It did feel weird. Both were gun shy. I loved how mayweather ****** his gloves together as if he wanted to fight...then when manny came in, may took off hahaha. Crazy man...and most times when manny would come in, he wouldn't throw. This was a real head scratcher. Fortunately, next week we have a bombs away type fight

            Both were extremely tentative. Weird fight indeed. Only fuels me into thinking that the fight 5 years ago would've a been much better fight.

              Mayweather looked great defensively, not so much when he let his hands go. He was still good enough to hit the counters he needed to. Pacquiao looked pretty bad, which is a combination of his decline and Mayweather's continued defensive brilliance.

              Both looked old, and the fight wasn't very good.

                I don't understand how people didn't see it going in. Of course they were playing people. They spent 5 years playing the boxing world. I'm glad this **** is done so we can move the hell on. The sooner they're gone, the sooner boxing can move on.

                  mayweather was efficient but he was missing flair. he looked like the same mayweather who struggled with maidana to me

                    People were hoping for Ali/Frazier 3 and got Leonard/duran 3 instead. It's a myth that you will get better action as guys get older. Look how bad Roy/hop 2 was. These guys don't want to take a beating.
