    Why was Pacquiao unable to hurt Mayweather on the ropes?

    Several times in the fight Pacman trapped Floyd on the ropes, and unloaded combos on Floyd. Yet Floyd just put his guard up and took it and shook his head like it was nothing.

    These same combos dropped Cotto, Mosley, and broke Margarito's face. Yet Floyd took it unfazed, and Pac stopped throwing.

    This always disappointed and baffled me as a Pac fan.

    Pac S shoulder.
    Plus Floyd was hurt. Every time he shakes head means Pac got his attention and Floyd shook. In fact if Floyd shakes head in any round the round should automatically go to his opponent

        Pacquiao fought Cotto, Margarito, and Mosley in 2009, 2010, and 2011 respectively.

        The Mayweather fight took place in 2015 so part of it was Manny being older and less explosive. The other part of it was that Floyd is great defensively and he wasn't getting caught in exchanges like those guys were.

            Ring weight scale games....


            When floyd got in the high guard you could see how big floyd was in comparison to manny who was allegedly heavier lol....


            Manny couldn't punch thru Floyd's tight guard aided by the weight size difference, floyd looked 160 plus in the ring this fight

              Paqcuiao had like 5 loses when Mayweather finally fought him.
              He got knocked out cold in one of those recent loses.

              And you're asking why he's unable to hurt The Best Eva?
              TBE, the best eva, undefeated. No loses.

              You should be asking the opposite.

              Are you people dumb or what and keep making these silly nonsense?

                Pacquiao was far past his best i noticed his all around speed deteriorating and his defensive reflexs fading around 2012 and theyve slowly decreased ever since but not as dramatic as say a roy jones

                Manny is still an incredible fighter but at that point he probably didnt have it in him to finish or hurt people as much as he did in his prime

                Also mayweathers rehydration and iv would have helped him push through the pain,it makes your stamina other worldy and will increase recovery rates through the roof

                Just shows though on an even rehydration and weight in with pac being able to stagger floyd its curious as to what would happen if they were both in their primes

                    it was 2015 when pac is far from his prime. if this happens on 2009-2011. floyd will get murdered. In addition, he has a shoulder injury. and if you're talking about being hurt by pacman, yeah sure he was. see how he got cornered after getting tagged with one shot. funny how he avoided pac compared to the others he have faced. he was jumping and steppping back real wide. it's like a scared man to get hit that's why his father told him he was fighting scared and losing the points.
