    in retrospect now that we know how boxing works if pac had just thrown a millino punches that missed and floyd landed the crisper cleaner punches pac probably would have won or had a better chance at winning. there was no way pac ever would have won that fight. just watch round 3. pac picked him apart, had great defense, landed all the hard shots. all 3 judges botched it and gave it to floyd. fighting like that was impossible to win. i guess he shold have known that? i dont know. floyd knew pac was now a counter puncher boxer and not a whirling tornado so thats why he finally agreed to fight but he miscalculated pacs boxing skills or overvalued his own and by the third round was really getting outboxed pretty badly and refused to do anything to really correct it. just run out te clock judges will save me...not to say it wasn't close it was but essentially no counters and essentially no lead punches. just a really pathetic grazing jab and the occasional push off hook. every once in a while a right hand of course but nowhere near the amount of hard punches pac was landing to the head and body. also when you factor in the constant clinchcing and ducking below the waist(both illegal) i dont see any reason to give close rounds to the guy who needed illegal tactics to keep it tight and still didnt land the better punches.
    Floyd won the fight. I’m not looking for an argument.

      Its clinically insane the way half these posters warp their perception of events. And its beyond trolling...these guys legitimately believe Manny beat Floyd. Stunning, really.

      Those same people also believe vaccines cause autism and giving blood weakens people

      daggum no disrespect but please consider a mental health professional. It's more important than some lousy fight that happened almost 5 years ago
