Well I called it exactly. Floyd is the goat in the ring and in business but perhaps not entirely in life. However Pac isnt perfect either. Hes not an angel, look into him if you care. At the end of the day...the better fighter won. Period

Why do I always get lured into the hype of Mayweather fights? He is a more boring fighter than Klitschko! Manny had him worried a few times and caught him with some big shots which doesn't happen often, but he always finds a way to bring the fight down to his pace. He is a master tactician and completely nullifies his opponents game plans...still boring as fuck though. Just read Manny's post match interview where he said he had a shoulder injury. I fucking hate excuses like that after the fight. If you are injured during training before the fight....postpone it! This is a fight that people have wanted for years, why would you not want to wait until your 100% and give the people what they want. Fight of the Century my ass! Oh and Sky Box Office can suck a fat one too! Paid £20 for the fight and Sky Box office was down the entire time so I had to illegally stream it.
tl;dr Just me ranting like a tired lunatic.

First 4ish minutes sums it up perfectly by Thunder Honestly that last bit Smith said is very important for non boxing fans to understand. Knockouts usually occur when the person getting hit is coming forward into a power shot. We understand that Floyd is a counterpuncher so in order for a KO to happen either Floyd catches Manny when he comes in OR Manny could of feinted and countered the counterpunch. You cannot possibly expect Mayweather to stand still while Pac hits him, that would be plain stupid and NOBODY whos beat Pac did it standing tall and brawling. If you wanted a KO then you have to put a lot of responsibility on Manny. He CLEARLY wasnt trying to win by KO and I feel it was made evident when he said he thought he won. I felt in those last 2 rounds he was just trying to finish the fight because personally I didnt feel like there was any way he was winning. Whatever his reasoning was his intention was clear. He never once came forward with the aggression that results in a KO. For either fighter to get a KO Manny needed to be aggressive like EVERYONE who supports Manny expected him to be. I was disappointed Manny didnt go for broke there at the end. I also think that Mayweather will fight Amir Kahn and then for his final fight he will rematch Pac. He says he will only fight 1 more time but I think it will be 2.

Wow a lot of people who actually though Pac would win this, must not watch a lot of boxing (not that I really do anymore ) I really thought it would be more like 90% voting Pac just because I know the majority of people know pretty much nothing about boxing. People expect KOs all the time and if you dont get a KO its just a bad fight. Thats just not reality and Pac never went for the KO or put Floyd in situation where he might go for it. I wonder how many people have actually seen Muhammad Ali fight. The fight against George Foreman all he did was "run like a little bitch and lean on the ropes" Sound familiar? Eventually Foreman got tired and Ali knocked him down, NOT out. Foreman, exhausted from punching Ali, was too tired to stand up within 10 seconds. Floyd does what Ali did without getting hit and without needing a KO. Ali's now has parkinsons and looks like a shell of himself because of the abuse he took in the ring. Time will tell but I bet in 40 years Floyd is still healthy as ever mentally.
