Forget the shoulder operation, laser eye surgery should be his first priority...

When I watched the fight live I thought Mayweather might of taken it given all the commentators admiring not him hitting but his dancing and avoiding punches. Meanwhile I've see the fight several times again... there is on youtube a slow motion version and Floyd was really missing a lot of punches (compubox not that reliable) and Manny was missing too but pressing the action all the time. After rewatching the fight like 4 times and seeing it on slow motion I realized Floyd was really doing nothing except posing for the judges to look good and seems like Pacquiao really beat him with one hand. Skip Bayless was right with his assessment of the fight on first take.
I scored it several times after rewatching it 115-113 based on real punches not dancing around, please rewatch it with no commentary and maybe look at the slow motion version and you'll see Pacquiao really was able to beat him with one hand.

cut it out..8 rounds to 3 after 11 on my card for floyd..if a jab was not a real punch your right manny would have a case for a close score..but this is not he ams..u score more than clean punches and jabs do count even though u dont want them tool
4,6, 10 for manny..9 was close but floyd really owned the round and fought the full round not just for 30 seconds like pac...even if i do give manny 9 and 12 (which i havent watch) he still only wins 5 rounds

After rewatching the fight,it was a close fight. people are acting like it was a whitewash. There were a lot of rounds where both guys were inactive. I score rounds based on who is doing damage.Mayweather didn't do shyt to pac,if anyone was hurt in that fight it was mayweather.

no doubt its a close fight but still give the win to floyd coz he was able to impose his type of fight.

Floyd won clearly , I gave Pac two possibly three , having watched it many times I could only possibly give him one more if forced but he didn't win the fight by two points . I think the whole Pac v Mayweather fight in some ways would have been best left alone , although it put our sport in the spot light it's pointless debates like this that have such a negative effect.

Floyd took his dignity. The loss has him looking like a mad man walking around with a prop.

9 rounds to 3 can look like a close fight i truly agree..rounds can be very close and the final score could be 11-1....floyd dominated his style and that will always make fights look close..imo he dominated ortiz but other ppl felt it was close...here he respect that manny is odd and good..but he still got the job done in a fashion that made manny look on a much lower level...

i gave manny 4, 6, 10....round 9 was close but floyd had the harder shots off of mistakes and more power punches..

cant believe manny's body was not worked much more than it was..that would have made it domination beyond question imo..i guess he felt the head was easy to find on the shorter man

Watching it live it seemed he jabbed a lot, but after rewatching it's clear his jab was missing the target most of the times. He was using it more to measure the distance but a lot of the jabs were blocked or missed. Watch closely and you'll see it.
It seemed only Floyd's posturing and making it seem that he was in control won him the fight not the punches thrown.
The slow motion version of the fight will clarify it for you.
But anyways very boring fight, after watching this I rewatched 3 of Ali's legendary fights to have a glimpse again of real boxing from the greatest of all times.

Manny Pacquiao is the boxer of century.

The Greatest Fighter of this ERA.... Pacquiao no doubt

I am currently vacationing in the Philippines and none of the people I tlked to believe Pacquiao won. The general consensus is that there is nothing he cn do to beat Mayweather. In fact, people are saying that there is no welterweight who can beat FMJ.
