    Floyd won the way he wanted to win: very easily, at a slow work rate and sustaining very little damage.

    Manny is the guy who throws a ton of punches, hits hard and fast, knocks guys down and/or out, and overwhelms them with his blinding combinations.

    One of those guys fought his fight, the other didn't. And the guy who didn't, lost.

    If you're not understanding why Manny didn't throw as many punches as he normally does than there is a large gap in your knowledge of boxing that needs to be filled. You need to go study up, and I mean that with all due respect.

    Here's a great video that broke down why JMM gave Pac fits and why Pac wasn't as effective as he normally was. A lot of the same principles apply with Floyd, especially in terms of controlling the range.
    A boxer always wants to fight in the way that has landed him success in the past. If he's not doing that, then more often than not it's his opponent that is doing something to prevent him from fighting his fight.

    Your putting way too much into the analysis of Floyd and Manny. I could easily just say they were both scared, but it's way more polite to say they had too much respect for each other. They did more posturing than punching. Too much thinking instead of fighting. They weren't forced, lead, tricked or trapped. They both have more than enough athletic ability to get over technical shit, but the hype got stuck in their heads and they both dumped. Pacific a little more of a fail than floyd.

    This first sentence I agree with to a point. Floyd was not in complete control here. He was sub standard to what we have seen him do in the past. I've watched Floyd stop many attacks in his fights making them pay but that was not happening in this fight. You can probably count the number of landed punches on your fingers and nothing did anything substantial. You going to debate that this was a masterpiece of Floyd's in the ring. Get over yourself. It was a shit performance from both fighters clearly. Manny and what he can do and what he did do are two different things. He looked delusional about what he was getting done. I'm thinking he was hearing the crowd which was largely pro pacquiao.
