He set the record straight plain and simple
I wouldn't go that far

Floyd answered some question well but he also flapped and sounded like a wally at times.

Yeah I really don't get this notion that Floyd handled the interview so well. The points he was trying to make were no doubt valid, but he is about as articulate as Charlie Zelenoff in there. If he were truly even remotely intelligent he coud have easily dismantled BK. For instance when Brian tried to grill him on why he wasn't fighting the winner of the two fights between Pac and Marquez, could Floyd not have simply said, "well I personally feel Marquez won both fights, and has looked sensational himself in moving up in weight after the fact." It's perfectly valid to point out that he fought Oscar on his terms when he had something left, and may have severely dented Hatton's punch resistance and ruined his confidence in elite fights. Or perhaps show some humility and simply admit that Pac is the harder puncher yet he controlled the fight with Hatton and has much different strengths than Manny? Styles make fights perhaps? I don't like the way Brian Kenny acted as though he had this major ammunition to grill Mayweather about simply because Pacquiao defeated Oscar and Ricky in quicker fashion. Decent watch though I guess.
