Pacquiao landed nothing. Being active and punching air has nothing to do with it.

, guys aren't supposed to just stand there and get punched.

Floyd is one of the best strategic counterpunches ever. Kept Pacquiao off with his jab and when Pacman did attack he danced around him and would hit him with a counter.

Can really argue with the stats that showed Floyd landed over 50 more punches.
Yes I'm most likely biased, but to call that "footwork" or running away from a fight a viable skill set then perhaps I don't understand boxing. This fight proves everything that is wrong with boxing. This supposed best fighter in the world just got close to 200 million just to hug and dance around a guy. I'm sorry but that's unacceptable. Let's see this "genius" of the ring step inside the octagon and actually get into a fight & see how good of a fighter he actually is.
