Pacquiao won by the skin of his teeth, at least three quarters of people here think he lost. There were several times he looked out on his feet.

there's no comparison,Floyd isa different league altogether.
Oh no comparison at all with Mayweather. His kind of wins of not trying to engage because he is being out powered, backs out, run along the ring, then tires his opponent and take the chance to score a few jabs or if lucky eg: versus Hatton knocks him down due to opponents frustration is a sort of gayish for me. He cant fight with face head on which some say is a smart boxing but pretty boring imo. While on the other hand Pacquiao will not back off a face to face aggression. He will pound and get pounded but still come up victorious which makes him the no. 1 p4p boxer. The excitement and drama with Pacquiaos' fight is way far above than Mayweathers boring tactics. A well deserve win for Pacquiao! the 3rd round knock down shouts the 1 point difference which the judge saw in favor of Pacquiao. The rest of the round has been an even exchange and we dont need to get technical with that.
No true boxing and knowledgable boxing fan finds Floyd Mayweather boring. His style is stylistically beautiful. Boxing is the art of hitting and not being hit.

Floyd is the current era's undisputed master of that art.

Besides he's never been a fighter to fight scared as you suggest. He's slick and doesnt get hit but he's gone toe to toe plenty of times in his career and won every time.
Yeah you said it right art of "not being hit"? because he is running all around the ring. He makes boxing a running competition and your telling me he is not afraid? He is smart alright but not slick he fights back when his opponent is tired and has lost their temper (opportunistic pathogens). But toe to toe? hell no! He cant fight toe to toe against Hatton or De La Hoya or else he will lick the floor. He has no power or no courage at all of getting hit. That makes his fight a boring and gayish for me imao. Now dont call others not knowledgeable with boxing just because they dont agree with you. And for Pacquiao who gets in the ring with a smile, but will not back down with a face to face aggression, what more can I say? Only in your eyes and those who discredit Pacquiao(3 quarters of this forum) since from the begining will we see a comment of "controversial decision" Who are you? youre not better than the judges who had so many experience with judging a match. And to argue that he won by his skin of his teeth is what makes it amazing and exciting for Manny had not back down. No one will say that he cowardly run along the ring and pose for photograph shots lol. He can choose to do the same thing "to be smart running around" but that takes away the passion and drama within the ring. Now you and others can continue discrediting Manny Paquiao thats just fine . But for me Manny Pacquiao No 1 POUND FOR POUND BOXER!
