Why do people say Pacquiao only won 2 rounds in the Floyd fight?

    I had it a 7-5 or so win for Floyd. It was a a terrible fight for the hype it got. Ive never watched it again and see no reason to. Floyd won a stinker and if they do it again it will probably look the same but slower.

      That's a hard sell bro lol

      Floyd undoubtedly won the 11th and 12th.

      So for Floyd to have lost to pac, that would mean Pac was winning 7 rounds to 3 coming into the 11th.

      I think pacquiao fought the wrong fight. He was fighting a 12 round fight, meaning, he was saving what he had for the last stretch, which is a bad strategy against mayweather because he makes sure he has more left than you down the stretch. That's his whole style.

      Pacquiao didn't go for broke, which is what he had to do to win. In the 4th and 6th round he caught floyd flush and he backed off.

        Imagine if Pacquiao fought floyd like he fought Marquez in the 4th fight. Yeah he got knocked out, but if you're against floyd, you might as well risk getting knocked out because winning a decision is a long shot.

        If Pacquiao fought Floyd like this, if he went for broke, it might have been a different story.

            I think I had the fight 116-112 in Mayweather favour. Pac definitely won two solid rounds and another 2 that you can give him to make it four.

              Most fans are afraid to think for themselves, they’ll just go along with what the commentary team are saying. That’s how it is in most sports.

                Some had Floyd winning. Some had Pac winning. I'm sure Some only gave Floyd 2 or 3 rounds.

                  Lol if you call hugging profously controlling the fight so yeah you have a point. That’s actually fouling by the way lol

                    I watched it in slow motion.. i gave Pacquiao 1 round.

                    im gonna watch Broner vs Pac in slow motion real soon. watching live i saw it much closer than people talk about it here. but i never watched it again.
