    Let's be honest. Floyd vs Pac was a lot closer than people made out

    This was despite Floyd being a lot bigger and rangier than Pacman

    I watched the fight a second time a few months ago, couldn't decide whether it was 6-6 or 7-5 Floyd.

    Let's be honest, if we didn't have preconceived notions about who the 'boxer' and 'brawler' were, and how each of these respective combatants had to perform to win the fight, we would have been able to judge this fight more accurately. Also the bias commentary didn't help.

    Floyd mostly landed love taps, Pac landed the harder punches and did more damage throughout, also made Floyd miss a lot. Floyd landed a lot more 'iffy' punches in this fight.

    I was rooting for Pac but the bastard wouldn't throw his hands and he let Mayweather take the fight. It wasn't domination or any of the other childish things people say but it was a clear loss. Pac didn't go after it and people gotta live with that.

        I think 2009 Pac wins, since the Marquez KO Pac been too cautious.

                  I gave Pac two rounds at best and that's if I'm generous. Damn near shut out by Mayweather. TBE

                    No.

                    Pac landed 81 punches total.

                    It was a clinic, a boxing masterclass.

                    And Pac was the crashtest dummy in it.
