Smh...
Where do I start? With the fight itself or the wrong doing before it?
You guys sound like ******. Smh. As I scroll down the thread, all I see is Fanboyism at its finest. Floyd is a liar and a big mouth who thinks he is better than what he is. Manny exposed Floyd. If you ever wanted to know why Floyd avoided A Level fighters, May 2nd proved WHY. Manny's hand speed, foot speed, movement, defense, counter punching, and ring IQ, SHOCKED Floyd. Smh. Floyd couldn't hit Manny consistently like he does everyone else. Most of Floyd's amateurish jabs were blocked or countered. But you idiots didn't see that huh? Manny was busting Floyd with straight, lead left hands, jabs to the mouth, and hooks to the side of the head. Stop acting as if Floyd had some masterful game plan because if he did, it was INEFFECTIVE!
He under-estimated how good Manny really is. He and everyone else thought Manny would come out throwing 100 punches a round but he didn't have to do that in order to win. That's how good he is. Floyd was on roids, was able to take his prefight vitamins, pick the ref and judges. The fight was in Vegas, etc. All he did was run, hold Manny illegally, get countered, get out defended, get out sped. What are the 3 criteria for scoring a fight??? Effective aggressiveness( Manny). Clean, effective punching( Manny), and ring generalship( Manny). So, how did Floyd win? It was rigged. That's how. Manny tore his rotator's cuff in the 4th after he hurt Floyd. He continued to want to hurt Floyd BUT Floyd used illegal tactics and ran to avoid being put on his ass. FACTS>
It's funny how Floyd has NOTHING left but Manny is fresh, still blazing fast, still very strong, and his stamina is still A-1. Floyd ha shad the easier road to the top. Why is he out of gas??? Smh. Manny deserves a rematch. it is still the biggest fight in boxing to be made. You hear Floyd talking about McGregor and Garcia BUT not Manny. Why is that? I'll tell ya. It's the same reason Roidquez wants no part of him again. Floyd doesn't have the reflexes anymore and Manny would beat the HELL out of him, in a rematch! You see how sharp Manny is looking???? I cannot wait until Saturday night, man! The OLD Manny that wants to tear your head off, is Baaaaack!!!!!!!!Comment

You're right... I'll rephrase.
Floyd fans gave Floyd every single round. Post fight you heard terms like "white wash" and "shut out".
Again, Floyd did win the fight but closely analyzing each round, there wasn't much more that Floyd did to win many of those rounds. They were all very close rounds that were decided by a jab or 2, or 1 or 2 punches.
There were a few rounds in his fight with Pac that the judges gave to Floyd that just made me scratch my head! Especially round 7. Pac clearly won round 7 yet the judges scored it for Floyd unanimously.Last edited by Deevel916; 11-03-2016, 08:11 AM.Comment

There were a couple of close rounds in the fight and there were maximum 1-2 clear rounds for Canelo (if any at that), there were about 5 rounds where Floyd really whitewashed Canelo in this fight and that's what the people remember most about the fight, Canelo wasn't completely whitewashed like Marquez for example, he gave an ok account of himself and he came to win, but there's no denying that were a lot of rounds were he made to look C level at best for the whole duration of the round. Canelo's frustration, going low and trying to foul didn't help his case either.Comment

not looking to argue this fight, but just to address the first round...it's not unusual for pacquiao (@ 147) to lose the first round (or it's close and uneventful): think Cotto, Bradley, Marquez 3. The first round is when Manny most looks at his opponent whereas Floyd has some history of starting almost immediately aggressive in round 1 in order to get the opponents respect: think of the way he came at Canelo in the first 20 seconds. Anyway, Floyd's two right hands beat Manny's one left to the body...it wasn't fireworks.Comment

his game plan was he knew would win because of high expectations for manny and low expectations from him. you had silly people like max saying pac you didn't throw as many punches as in some other fights as if thats a scoring criteria? who landed the cleaner punches? pac. who landed more? pac. who had better defense and rarely got hit flush? pac. who forced his opponent into bad situations that he had to clinch or bend over constantly to get out of? pac and that counts as ring generalship if you force your opponent to cheat. you are in control. a bad decision which makes perfect sense because this is boxing. no one has a legit reason why floyd won that fight. they either say compubox which was proven wrong or they say floyd controlled the fight which is completely subjective and really makes no sense because how do you control a fight if your opponent is landing better punches? pace does not equal success. landing punches=success but once again people got it wrong.Last edited by daggum; 11-03-2016, 09:36 AM.Comment

I was surprised with Mayweather's tactics to be honest, he was the aggressor early on, took the centre of the ring and stood his ground. I think this took Pacquiao by surprise.Comment

I think fans that use the term schooling and fans that see it close both have a point.
From a individual rounds perspective, some of the close rounds still were clear for Floyd. From a total score perspective having won so many close rounds he ends up dominating the fight.
It definitely wasn't a shutout but I don't think there was any question who won the fight.Comment
