If you claim you are the greatest boxer of all time (better than Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Leonard) you have to at least put up a fight. The Money Man is correct, he freaking took the money and run.

De La Hoya is still bitter that Floyd beat him using that exact recipe.
Both Oscar and Tyson were guys who liked to stand in and punch, so of course they didn't like the fight. I said it before Floyd is not a fighter, he is a boxer and one of he best defensive counterpunchers of all time.
If they should be disappointed in anyone it should be Pacquiao, Mayweather did exact what you would expect him to do. It was Pacquiao who wasn't aggressive as he usually is since he was scared to get countered by Floyd.
I can't see how ppl said Floyd ran. He was inviting Pacquaio in and Pacman didn't attack.
Russ Anber of TSN said it best after the fight. It's not everyone's style since people want to see the slugfest but he loves watching Floyd because of the speed and footwork and pinpoint accuracy. Anybody can stand in front of somebody else and punch, what Floyd does is way more impressive and why he's undefeated.
It's like I said before Mayweather is to boxing what GSP is to MMA. People say he is afraid to fight, and is boring, but really he is just technically so much better that he doesn't have to stand there and get punched. He can beat you without taking much damage because he is technically so much better.
Boring but you can't argue they are talented and some of the best ever in their sports.
