It's been well documented that Mayweathers counters make fighters think which in turn slows them down. I think Pac was surprised by Mayweathers speed of hand & foot. Throw a less mobile fighter in there and Pac would of beat them down aka Danny Garcia. Went Pac threw those combos in the 4th they were still blazing fast but hitting nothing. Discouraging to say the least. If they was Marquez not Mayweather 4 of the 8 punches would of landed. Its a shame Pac has a small reach he countered Mayweather nicely at times.
Ricky Hatton Should Get A Lot Of Credit

Were people so fixated on Mayweather having not seen that kind of speed in a while THAT...they forgot Mayweather was considerably faster than anyone Pacquiao has ever faced?It's been well documented that Mayweathers counters make fighters think which in turn slows them down.

Pac was limited from round 5 on and it was because he was hurt. Stop trying to make it like just got outclassed because he didn't.His chin had little to do with losing, if Manny was to make it closer it would have been his quicker feet and higher volume when he was younger.
Floyd beats any version of Manny 9/10. Manny doesn't do well against counter punchers especially not one like Floyd who won't exchange with him.Comment

i think pacquiao would have done better if floyd actually hit him hard
he's shown in the past that he usually fights harder after being tagged by a good shot
although maybe not, after the ko he let bradley get away with big shotsComment

Not by a long shot. When they got on the inside, Floyd made space by elbowing and bending over into the ropes with his back to Hatton. Then, the ref broke up the exchange asap. Don't even try that B#llsh@t.Comment

I'm sure he wanted to let his hands go but as you know, or should know, it's not easy with a torn rotator cuff. Just see how he was doing in rd. 4 when the tear worstened again. He had Floyd turtled up , scared to death.Comment

Could've sworn he said round 3. Anyway that doesn't explain the reason he used it without any indication of discomfort for the remainder of the fight.Comment

Yet he averaged around the same amount of punches landed before he was injured as when he did after. He won 1 of the first 5 rounds. Outclassed.Comment

Go watch round 6 where he did the same as round 4 when Mayweather was on the ropes. Throwing power punches with his right hand.Comment

Outclassed my a55. The rounds when Manny picks up the pace, he stayed the same and barely used the right hand. Stop being dumb. You know it was not his normal fight, it was easy to see. Hater.Comment
