Imo, media is overhyping how Pacquiao looked. He got hit a lot in the second half of the fight, a lot more than a 40 year old fighter should get hit.
Im surprised how fans still want a Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch. Let it go, these guys are old and out of their primes. Let these young champions rise to prominenceComment

You shouldn’t be. Pac fans and Floyd haters are still desperate to see Floyd lose so they will cal for any fight where they think a guy they like will beat Floyd.Imo, media is overhyping how Pacquiao looked.

Then when Floyd wins they will call for another rematch. Wash, rinse, repeat.Comment

Exactly, why is manny not being called a coward for ducking Spence and Crawford?If floyd was in the ring and Spence called him Out and Floyd said yea that is a good fight and freeze up like manny did he would get called everyname in the book. If floyd fought Jeff horn instead of Crawford he would never hear the end of it.Floyd was being accused of avoiding Canelo before they fought even though Canelo was a weight division higher. It was a fight he’d never take, they said. Too dangerous.
Floyd puts in a masterclass and all of a sudden Canelo is too ‘green’. Floyd fought him too early. Floyd was scared.
It’s the same deal with Pacquiao. People have a hard time with reality. Mayweather made Pacquiao look like a lame duck, so all it took was Freddie to come up with some BS excuse after the fight about Pacquiao being injured, even though he showed no signs of this in the fight and didn’t stop throwing punches, but it held more water than the “we should have won the fight!” excuse they first tried coming out with, and it was enough to give Pacquiao fans a reason to excuse their hero and demand an unwarranted rematch.
The truth is, Mayweather is a 42 year old, retired man who hasn’t fought a real round of boxing in 4 years. He’s shown signs of slowing down considerably in the two exhibition fights he’s had, and is probably not even half the fighter he was in 2015. And Pacquiao is trying to chase him down for a fight?
It would be consistent with Pacquiao’s form of fighting over the hill, damaged fighters with not much left in the tank, but it proves nothing at this point, only that Pacquiao is the one scared of taking on a real challenge. You want to show us how good you are? Fight Spence. Fight Crawford. Or STFU.Comment

Thanks Floyd and Paq for giving us a crappy fight where one old fighter beat another old fighter carrying a shoulder injury and then got too scared to take the rematch after the injured guy had shoulder surgery."For years, all you heard was that 'Floyd is afraid of Manny Pacquiao,' but what's funny is, when we finally fought, I won so easily that everyone had to eat their words! All of the so called boxing experts, critics and jealous American 'fan base' either went mute and ran for cover or made every excuse in the world as to why I should give Manny Pacquiao a rematch.
And thanks for not giving us peak Pacquio vs peak Floyd. We are so grateful to you Floyd and we don't think you are scared of Pacquiao at all. No, you are so obviously not scared of him.Comment

The difference is that Manny fights bigger guys and takes the most risks in the history of boxing.
Imagine if Manny was the same height and had the same reach as Floyd. 10 divisional champ years ago!Comment

No one is as good as Manny unless they are on PEDs, ain't that right? If he wasn't on PEDs he'd be the greatest boxer in the history of boxing and that dates back to the Ancient Gladiators who killed or was killed, how the sport was intended!Comment

Give it a rest already ... Floyd won, Manny lost.
