    Mayweather did what he needed to do... He beat the opponent in front him. No it wasn't pretty but a win is a win. At the same time it wasn't as bad as some people are pretending. He used his reach, movement, and had a better strategy to neutralize one of the most offensive fighters we've seen. If you can't appreciate what he did on May 2nd maybe you're the problem. I guarantee whoever Pacquiao fights next he'll be just as aggressive and just as effective as before Mayweather.

      He could walk and break Manny down but choose to fight safe too. Both fought a safe fight.

        Overall just a little too tactical for me and most.
        Yeah but they forced him to let his hands go. And no point in the fight did Manny push Floyd out of cruise control and thats his fault, Not Mayweather's.

          So you mean to tell me in a 36 minute fight, you could only find 15secs of good moments for team Pac, and most of it was Floyd's dad talking?

            Do you remember the Seahawks Broncos Superbowl; How far Seattle was ahead on Denver? What if they just start doing 2-point conversions after every touchdown, Onside kicks and Hail Mary passes? The backlash would be terrible.

            Its not the Winners job to give the loser an opportunity to win. Its the guy that's behind job to force the issue and get himself into a place for victory.

              Indeed, Pac let everybody down in a big way.

              Marcos Maidana was outclassed but even still he never stopped trying to take Floyd's head off. He kept throwing bombs and attempted to hit Mayweather anywhere he could, even in the balls! Since Chino put up such a spirited effort everyone was expecting the "great" Manny Pacquiao to do even better.

              But instead what we got was an anemic, lifeless performance out of the Pac Man. Once he realized the magnitude of the challenge in front of him it's like all the courage was drained out of him. Rather than go for broke and leave it all in the ring he instead tucked his tail between his legs and did the boxing equivalent of curling up into a ball.

              He actually performed WORSE than Maidana and to top it off he wasn't even man enough to accept his loss with grace and dignity. What a complete disappointment he turned out to be that night for the fans, it's no wonder many of them are suing him.

                Both of them let the fans down, Mayweather is just so used to doing it that he thinks that he is not responsible for providing a show anymore.

                  This wasn't supposed to happen, though. Pacquiqo was supposedly the guy who was going to go out and overwhelm him offensively. Instead he took a few flush right hands then became scared and stopped trying.
                  Yeah he really did stop trying. That moment in the eleventh where he jumps away from a phantom punch was cringeworthy. I don't wanna say he quit but he definitely wasn't trying to take risks.

                    Naah just a glimpse of what transpired.

                    Evidence is in the whole fight. That's a teaser trailer.

                    The best part was when his own dad was yelling at him and saying, "you're fighting scared son!"

                    Just shows who didn't show up to fight that night.

                      Knowing Pac was one armed and because of the pain your whole equilibrium was fouled ,,, why didn't killer Jr go for the kill instead of chicken running???

                      To be as plain as possible why didn't Jr go for the KO?
                      A. Because he was scared he would get ko'd
                      B. Because jr is only good at running and potshoting
                      C. Because a chicken is a chicken and you"ll NEVER get de chicken out da chicken
                      D. All the above.
                      Hooks. You're such an angry mang
