Floyd Mayweather took on many big fights in his career. But one fight that stood tall among all his bouts was a 12-round classic with Manny Pacquiao.
This fight was regarded as the ‘richest’ fight in boxing history because of the money involved. Moreover, as both the fighters were in their prime, it was vital for them to settle the debate on the best boxer of this generation. That said, the fight began well for the favorite, Mayweather.
But ‘Pac Man’ sent shock waves when he had his moments in the mid-rounds of the fight. Pacquiao was eager to brawl with ‘TBE’, but, putting his usual fight style to the play, Mayweather distanced himself from the Senator. On top of that, ‘Pretty Boy’ was also successful in dictating the pace of the fight.
