Pacquiao retires with a **** Floyd with a whimper

I definitely like going back and watching Pacquiao's fights.
Floyd's? I never watch his.
Mayweather will go down with his "0" and plenty of accomplishments and on paper, seems like it's easy to rank him higher in many regards.
However, as far as excitement and entertainment value, Pacquiao beats him ten fold.
I also have to say that, considering where they both came from, Pacquiao eclipsed him several times. Mayweather came from a family of boxing in the Unites States with lots of inside help in the business. Now, don't get me wrong. He did a tremendous job and we all know that second generation guys tend to disappoint and he accomplished way more than his dad and uncle.
But come on. Pacquaio came from absolutely nothing in the Phillippines all the way to the States and moved all the way up from flyweight for God's sake, blazing his way through the divisions against Barrera(was an underdog), Marquez(probably underdog or even) and Morales(even odds) and then I was certain De La Hoya would beat him and he didn't. Mayweather got a split decision over De La Hoya, but Pac dominated him. He beat the odds again and again and he went into his last fight where many thought he would lose as his opponent was coming off a big win and he was coming off a loss and an eleven month layoff. Now, that is impressive to say the least.
Mayweather was the favorite going into most of his fights and Pac was, too once he got established but Pac also had to come back from the Marquez loss which would have crushed many fighters' spirit and psyche. I think over all, Pac did prove more in the ring during his career.

Look at around 2:05
That was right after round 5 when he told Floyd that he was losing.
Sr. knew what was up. Says to Floyd jr: 'You are losing man!'

Here's Floyd reaction after the fight, not sure of winning. Before the official cards were announced.
Go to 8:40 on this video, Floyd says to Floyd senior after the fight, " no matter what I love you." Shows signs he felt he was going to lose.

TBE technically “retired” when he embarrassed #48. The Berto fight is him fulfilling his contractual obligation to Showtime. #48 fought a guy he beat twice already so he could “go out” on a winning note like TBE. Of course that “winning note” was manufactured just like his welterweight career.

All those retired undefeated fighters never even reached top 30 for the ATG list.
Boxing experts look at who the opponents were and whether the opponents were in their prime.

Not sure if beating Bradley for a 3rd time is a "****", but it's definitely a better final victory than fcking Berto lol. He should have fought Brook for #49. Not only would it have been a slap in Khan's face but he would have been the first ever welterweight to unify all 4 titles (correct me if I'm wrong).
Both Pac and Floyd are the 2 best this era no doubt. The fight's over, this petty fanboy war should be too.
