      I think it hurt Pacquiao too. Everyone I talked to about the fight knew Floyd was going to fight his usual fight but were pissed at Pacquiao for doing jack shizz. Pacquiao didn't seem to have a sense of urgency and didn't go balls to wall when it was obvious he was down so much late in the fight.

        Roberto Duran. Beat 126 champ Ernesto Marcel, then 130 champ Hiroshi Kobayashi, all the way through to 160 title. While he didn't fight for the title at 130 or 126, he beat the best fighters who were the best champions in those divisions.

          When will people realise that Floyd is done?

          It's over, he's accomplished everything and will retire the best of his era.

            It's extremely difficult for anyone in the modern age to fight anywhere near the sheer volume of fights that people like Ray Robinson fought bitd.

              Either he is TBE now or he isn't. A fighter's place in history is mainly determined by all the fights he had in his prime. One huge win at 38 years old is not enough to make him TBE if he isn't already TBE. Buster Douglas had his huge win over Tyson but Douglas won't be remembered as one of history's best heavyweights. Tyson will be remembered as one of history's best heavyweights. A boxer is judged on his entire career and not just one big win.

                Canelo vs. Golovkin in Spring 2016 for undisputed 160lb Championship








































                Winner fights Floyd in September 2016 in his real retirement fight for undisputed 160lb title and win #50.

                Would be undisputed TBE if he became undisputed champ at 160. Might be possible if Cotto or Canelo come out as champ since he's beaten them already. No way he moves up to fight Golovkin tho.
                That's the Floyd way. Let them beat each other up and when Floyd faces the worn out version, gets credit for beating all of them.

                  Larry, you probably don't understand what a huge difference 8lbs can make to the outcome of a boxing match.

                  But trust me, it would make a difference. A BIG difference.
                  Yep it would make Canelo a much better boxer...

                      Roach and Pacquiao were saying running will not work in this fight, that they will cut off the ring and he has no where to hide. His sheep were were believing in them and saying Floyd has no legs and that he can't move away from punches like he used to. Pac fans were using the Maidana fights to claim how Pacquiao will do even better. But fast forward after the fight, "Mayweather ran". It's pathetic but I called it, I said it would happen.

                      The fight did not hurt Floyd more than Manny, many people came out and called Manny a sour loser and they were shocked to see how bitter he was at losing. He looked very bad in the publics eyes. Mayweather fought the way he always fights, there was no pressure on him to go out there be like Gatti. There was pressure on Pacquiao to get the upset KO on a seemingly aging, declining Mayweather and he didn't even get a win, forget the KO. Floyd was favored to win by decision and that's what he did. Your boy didn't do his part.

                      "If he just stood still, I could have hit him." no sht Pacquiao, it's how you gained your fame, vs people who stood still and came right at you, smh.
