Just unfortunate, floyd still can't win over the crowd, good win for him though, thoughts on this fight?

If I were a floyd fan, just ignore the criticisms and be glad he won the fight. He did give Pacquiao a schooling, but you know what, both fighters were virtually unscathed. Obviously, Im a Pacquiao fan, but I accept this loss, Floyd proved to be the better boxer regardless of what other people think.

Pacuiqoa had some decent success but, too far and in between..I think both fighters need to retire and gather their lump sum of money..They are damn good health after this fight.

Main reason floyd won, he controlled the center of the ring. Pacquiao was only commiting to fighting in a straight line and couldn't adjust....Floyd is a smart fighter, though his excessive holding was a bit annoying...but he was accurate..I think he should retire, unless he wants to go over marcianos record.

Ill be honest though, we definitely saw two fighters that aren't quite in their primes..I believe the fight would have been more exciting back in 2009...This fight doesnt hold the candle to fights like leonard vs Hearns..It won't be that memorable..Which is a unfortunate, but hey boxing still made a whole damn revenue out of this

    Boxing is the loser tonight. The fact that Floyd's style can dominate the sport like this will make young people that just enjoy fighting do mma instead. Same with people wanting to watch fighting. Floyd is a boxer and not a fighter. Also both were too old and they should've fought years ago. The scoring system should benefit the aggressor more and they need a centralised body that can make fights happen.

    Mayweather was sensational. I just wish Marquez hadn't knocked out pacquiao in their fourth fight because he would have been more aggressive against money may rather than thinking at the back of his mind, if I throw too many shots, I'll get caught.

    People hate high confidence. Muhammad Ali had many haters too and he was 10 times more confident than Pretty Boy.

    Its just that people want to see him lose. Then they will see he is human and they will like him or continue to hate him.
