Pac just gave Floyd more reasons NOT to fight him.
What would Floyd excuse be now? Is he going to get back to his drug testing/steroids BS?
He'll probably fall back on the old "Pac doesn't deserve as much money as me" mantra.
Pac knocked him down 6 times. Didn't think it would be that easy for him.
You have to give Algieri credit though, I did not think he'd end up going the distance, especially after getting his lights knocked out in one of the middle rounds, then the ref even gave him a standing count. He has a lot of heart, you can't deny that. Provodnikov closed his eye but didn't make his legs wobble, he looked like he was ready to fall for half the fight against Pacquiao. One, maybe two of those knockdowns were slips but it wouldn't have made a difference, he was just simply outmatched.
I will say this, Pacquiao is still damn good but he's not what he was a couple of years ago. Usually when he would smell blood, he'd just go for the knockout but ever since Marquez he's been a much more patient fighter. Is this really such a negative though? You could argue that it makes him an even more dangerous fighter.
