        Why not start from rd 1 & 2? is it because Pac landed ZERO punches?

        IMO landing ZERO pinches = a 10-8 round. Floyd.

        Rewatched 1 million times in slow motion Pac lands ZERO. Wow.

          Like I say? What have I said about round 3? You’re confused mate.

          No it is literally you being biased You are seeing what you want to. Like I said, I don’t blame you because it’s not your fault.

          100% of press row pal. 100%.

          It’s not your fault.

            he always looked for advantages outside of the ring and before the fight, like Canelo and he is part of many of the things wrong in boxing today.

              Would that get us some good fights?? imagine boxers cherry picking fights like this back to back to back
              Not even worth your efforts. You cant reason with the Pac groupies and they still somehow have a deep following on this board

                Thanks larry for accepting that floyd is a cherry picker. Anyone with a small knowledge on sport knew that floyd is a cherry picker. Imagine fighting the likes of maidana(floyd make him look like a class A) guerrero, ortiz, baldomir, macgrergor, tenshin :lol1, old mosley, sela hoya gift win, castillo gift win.

                  Only a fan could think that Floyd is only guy doing it lol, they all try to win a psychological edge its just another aspect of the complete package that Floyd was good at.

                  The guy beat them on all levels.
