Either PacMan spend most of the match chasing MW or he was being caught in a headlockor clenched... If only he was taller would have sortedthe bawbagout.
Pac Man was an entertaining speedy gonzales... The whole crowd was cheering him on... I think they even booed the prick after the match was over....
They should have all turned on himnow that would be the fight of the century LOL
He would have just run away, like he does in all of his fights.
Hopefully, the same goes for Khan V MW too.
I will watch last nights fight on Sky's rerun when they show it a week later, as this was a predictable outcome.
What a load of crap that was.
Fight of the century? Wasn't even fight of the week.
Obviously some people don't /can't appreciate the defensive skills of Mayweather and just want a slugging match which would have suited Pacquiao.
No offence but it's like the majority of people who were disappointed have never seen a MW fight before. It was always going to go the way it did. I thought it was superb. Just another sublime example of how technique and smarts conquer brute force.
I think people should be more disappointed in Manny. Every time I thought he turned up the heat he backed off, he just didn't want it enough.
I appreciate his style. I don't like the hugging and toe standing etc... I thought at one point he's coming on to pacman!
Seems team Pacquiao feel the same way. From what I'm reading he's saying he thought he won the fight (which is ridiculous, but he obviously hasn't reviewed the tape yet) - but then says he could have connected more if Floyd stood and traded. Surely him and his trainer weren't stupid enough to think that arguably the best defensive fighter of all time wouldn't use that defence.
It was up to Pacquiao to make this the fight he/Roach wanted it to be, but he just couldn't because, as it turns out, Mayweather is indeed on a different level. I can't see the winner being different if it happened 5 years ago. Pac possibly would have landed more, but he sure would have taken more power punches in the process.
It obviously wasn't a great fight (in terms of being competitive), and won't convince non boxing fans who watched it to stick around - but we didn't need it to be a great fight, we needed a conclusive result to settle the argument, and we got it!
Na i think packman was scared he may get knocked out being too aggressive. You can't go all out.
I thinkpac should have played the same game as Mayweather in the early rounds and just dance around the ringinviting mw to attack.
The bottom line is that Paq is past his best and not close to the fighter he was.
He doesn't have anything like the ferocity he did at his peak. He's been on the way down for a few yrs and isn't as focused as he was either with involvement in other activities outside of the ring.
It would have been one of the biggest fights of all time if it had happened 5 yrs or more ago.
Today it isn't even the best fight around just now never mind an all time great.
5 yrs too late and everything I expected it to be.
Congrats to Mayweather all the same, he contolled it all the way and is still a lot closer to his best than Paq.
