Time to knock it off with the hating, everyone here knew Floyd is not a brawler and wasn't going to put on a Gatti/Ward with anyone. It was Pac who was supposed to bring the violence, excitement and the activity, and he couldn't do it because Mayweather wouldn't let him.

You all said Mayweather would run from Pac. The only time he ran was in the last seconds of a few rounds, because he knew Pac was trying to steal the round with a big flurry. For the rest of the time, he stood toe to toe in the middle of the ring, he stood in the pocket and he even stood against the ropes and let Pac throw (and miss) his big shots.

You all said Pacquiao was all wrong for Floyd because he was fast, he hit hard and he threw a ton of punches. Mayweather threw more punches than Pacquiao in this fight, 435 to 429. I don't think anyone has out thrown Pacquiao. Even vs Marquez 3, which was Pac's weakest effort and JMM won the fight and got robbed, Pac threw nearly 600 punches and landed at a 30% rate. Here he threw just over 400 and landed at a 19% rate. That wasn't by Manny's choice, it was Floyd's. PBF largely shut the down a southpaw who is considered (and deservedly so) the greatest, most dynamic OFFENSIVE fighter of this generation.

So give Floyd his credit. It wasn't Hagler/Hearns, but it wasn't Floyd's responsibility to make it Hagler/Hearns. Pac was considered by a lot of people to be the greatest fighter of this generation, the greatest fighter of the 2000s, and he had absolutely nothing for Floyd. And don't start on with the "5 years ago" nonsense. Both guys are past their best. Pac was still a world beater, if he couldn't catch Floyd now, he wasn't catching him in 2010-2012.

Maidana managed to throw 850 punches against Floyd. What's Pac's excuse?
