I am glad to see that others saw the fight and the horrendous decision the way I did. Manny Pacquiao so clearly dominated all of the early rounds that by the end of the 7th round, I felt certain that Mayweather would need to score a KO to win.

I think it's pretty obvious who should've won when the decision comes through and an entire packed PUB boos

This is truly the worst match ever...first match I watched full and probably the last one...terrible fight where FM was defensive MP deserved the win... Want a rematch... No fair results!!

I can't see how this is good for boxing. The experts speak of genius masterful boxing, but the paying layman sees a man running for 12 rounds with minumum output.

I had a simikar card to Dan Rafael with the scores tied after 8. Floyd took the championship rounds. 9 & 10 I'm hard pressed giving to Floyd. There really was no winners last night other than some cheque books of those involved.

Manny landed less in almost every round. It was a poo fight, but Manny was utterly clueless.

I was hitting the pipe hard last night, and i only gave him 2. In fact 1 and 1 even.

He landed more punches if substance. Not much else u can do against a guy who refuses to ebgage (yet wins every second of a round where nothing happens).

Floyd should fight Lara. They could circle each other to a 120-120 draw.

Whereas Manny was the one with the cleaner shots. Most shots by both hit gloves and this air. Terrible fight for boxing. Mayweather won but will never be a all time great. If he fought Khan at Wembley with no demands an even fight then I will give him credit. That won't happen fight will be in Vegas with his mate as a referee and judges.

"When Mayweather steps out of his weight class and beats the world champion in their own weight class maybe you will stop hearing the comparisons between the two but as long as Floyd sits protected in the same weight class he's fought for almost a decade no one cares. It's like owning the video game Madden, playing on rookie and going undefeated, looks real good on paper the rest of us (the people that know the sport) know better. I won't even go into the questionable scoring because, like anyone else that even knows a fragment about boxing, the score card is not always right. But at the end of the day he is 48-0 in his weight class, that is an accomplishment, but top five? Watch some real boxing. I forget how many weight classes has Manny moved up to then beaten the world champion? Oh that's right Manny has done it six times. That's why he is still, even after losing, referred to the greatest pound for pound fighter there is. Because he is - he's a man not afraid to take on a challenge, and he's not a coward that sits in the same weight class protecting his belts. Do yourself a favor learn about boxing and then start writing stupid blogs.
Sincerely,
Someone that knows more than you.
