He could've and should've....but the money was too good for him to pass up.
Floyd does his thing, but lol, he has to get knocked a little for "retiring" so much. In his prime too.

Always impressive breh.But, the question was can he win off activity alone....and the answer is yes.
If Floyd is content to try and potshot all fight, and if Manny is constantly coming foward...pressuring him/swarming him, throwing 2x the amount of punches per round, yes, he can steal the rounds and ultimately steal the fight. We just seen Maidana almost do that in Floyd vs Maidana 1 off of activity alone.
Speaking of activity, in their last 3 fights respectively, Pacquiao is averaging 56 punches thrown a round (672 a fight) while Floyd is at 34 punches a round (408 a fight). That's a telling stat being that in 2 of those 3 fights, Floyd was fighting a pure pressure fighter (a MUCH lesser fighter than Pacquiao skill wise) and struggled heavily with Maidana's awkwardness and pressure before finally adjusting in round 6 of the 1st fight. Fight was a MD and most people, even though feeling Floyd won, had it a 7-5/8-4 affair......against Marcos Maidana. Manny Pacquiao is a whole 'nother beast and if Maidana can get 5 rounds, Pacquiao can steal the fight from Floyd if Floyd isnt on point. Plus the judges usually prefer Manny's forward aggressive style to Floyd's potshot and move style....and we know why that is
So yes. Manny CAN win off of activity alone. Throwing 18 more punches a round, for 12 rounds, adds up to 216 more chances the judges can see Pacquiao land some good shots and the crowd can scream and goover it, even punches he miss....swaying the judges' opinions.
Floyd is gonna have to be DEADLY accurate and landing FLUSH with power behind it if he's gonna fight his normal slow paced, counter style against Pacquiao, or he can be outworked imo.
Im personally expecting Floyd to do just that though
Always impressive

Less than 50% saw it as a win for Marquez.... For the fight to be a robbery you would need at least half of the writers/experts having Marquez as the winner... All you've proven is that only 46% saw Marquez as the winner... Thats not the majority... MARQUEZ AINT WIN shyt.. GTFOH
Even HBO got the same results

What you said just made absolutely no sense
If out of 100 people polled, 46 saw Marquez as the victor, 42 saw it as a draw, and 12 saw it as Pacquiao winning....the majority ALWAYS wins.
The majority of boxing writers watching Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3, saw JMM winning
He won that fight unofficially and was robbed
Dead at only 12% thinking Pacquiao won compared to 46% for JMM....but yet Pac got a UD

You can thank this upcoming fight for that. Too much money in the works for Arum to just let it all slide away. Pacquiao was built up to fight Mayweather
