Most analysts from around the world? This from the BBC:Don't talk like it's even possible Pac. You've won around the world anyway no need for a rematch. Post fight vids confirms it.
Most analysts around the world....spain, argentina, mexico, Germany, france, England, eastern Europe, Russia, Japan and most of asia...thought pac won in their fight even with one arm...
Dont talk Pac as if a ***** boxer will ever go back when he already escaped a perfect con. don't hope that a rematch with froid gayweather will not use 750 ml OF IV this time and don't pay judges to win this time and hope he has enough balls to fight outside Las Vegas. It won't happen Pac. Floyd has gotten away with the biggest sports heist in history of all sports. 200 million prize money for dancing in the ring in a marathon boxing event if you can call that boxing for crying out loud. Don't be silly Pac he ain't gonna risk getting exposed. Floyd can't con the public twice. He just can't.
Mayweather's head had cleared by the start of the fifth and he proceeded to win the round courtesy of his trusty right cross, with Pacquiao not applying enough pressure or displaying the aggression many felt he needed.
Pacquiao rocked Mayweather again in the sixth, before Mayweather got on his bike in the seventh, slipping and sliding out of reach and frustrating Pacquiao as he looked to engage.
In the eighth it was Mayweather's left that did most of the damage and although he did ship another sneaky left, by now it was apparent that Pacquiao, naturally the smaller man, did not have the necessary power.
It was more of the same in the ninth, during which there were definite signs that Pacquiao was tiring and the fight was beginning to get away from him.
By the 10th, Mayweather had made all the adjustments he needed to make and continually made Pacquiao miss, like a matador with an ailing bull, while doing enough on the counter to win the round.
In the 11th, Pacquiao had gone from bull to mouse, getting snapped on the nose time and time again by Mayweather's jab as he tried to get inside.
Pacquiao's expected late rally did not transpire and the air of resignation in the arena at the final bell told you everything you needed to know - that Mayweather had won an intriguing rather than thrilling fight with plenty to spare.
Reaction from BBC Radio 5 live team
"They said this was the biggest test of his career. How he rose to the challenge. Floyd Mayweather endorses his status as an all-time great"
- commentator Mike Costello
"He has broken Manny Pacquiao's heart"
- pundit Steve Bunce
And while many observers who paid to watch would have been disappointed with the action, the fact that Mayweather won so handily was more proof of his unparalleled genius.

MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao would have won against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Sunday (Manila time) if the vintage version of the Filipino boxer showed up, according to a local boxing analyst.
Veteran boxing commentator Ed Tolentino felt that the Filipino superstar wasn’t his usual old fighting self when he squared off against counterpunching Mayweather at the MGM Grand Arena.
“Hindi natin nakita ang vintage Manny Pacquiao,” Tolentino said in an interview on DZMM.
Tolentino said Pacquiao should have pressed the action at the early stages of the fight when Mayweather was still “feeling out,” since the American is notorious for starting slow in his fights.
Pacquiao should have capitalized on that, Tolentino said, and as a result, the Filipino was forced to catch up in the latter rounds when Mayweather gained his confidence.
“’Yung early half alam nating mabagal si Mayweather, dapat nag-impok na ng puntos si Manny. In-allow niya the counterpuncher to take off on offense first; siya ang mukhang naghahabol ngayon,” said Tolentino.
As a taller fighter, Mayweather also wisely used his range against Pacquiao, poking the Filipino boxer with stiff jabs while piling points.
“I though there is no clear cut up plan when Mayweather was fighting like a tall man, flicking the jab. Malaking bagay ang five-inch reach advantage,” said Tolentino.
Tolentino added the American used the amateur style of fighting wherein boxers are preoccupied with scoring points rather than going for the knockout.
“Ang fight ni Mayweather is typical ABAP, puntos. 'Yun ang nangyari, hindi na-overcome eh,” he said.
In the end, Mayweather won by unanimous decision while dealing Pacquiao’s sixth career defeat in 65 fights. It was Mayweather’s 48 win.
Despite the unanimous verdict, Tolentino thought the fight was close.
“***it pa ang laban eh. ***it pa after nine rounds eh. Had there been a knock down or two the fight would have been very interesting,” he said.

Everytime Pac has a PPV fight he talking about Mayweather, ofcourse it is what the media is asking him but they talk about Mayweather so much its sickening. Mayweather is what 40 now going on 41 maybe. That is sad, Uncle Bob milking Pac for every dime. Got him publicly crying for rematch to make even more money for his pimp.Comment
