10 Reasons The "Fight Of The Century" Was Anything But

You don't necessarily see it when the two men are standing next to one another fully clothed, but the size advantage between Pacquiao and Mayweather, not to mention the reach advantage, was something that made the fight a disaster from the start.

Oh, it was talked about beforehand, but not really given too much credit. Surely Pacquiao would find a way to deal with it?

And while he did show flashes of brilliance and win a couple of rounds, in the end, Pacquiao was beaten in part because his opponent was simply bigger than him, and was able to use his longer reach to keep him at bay.

There's little you can really do about this: weight classes can't solve everything, because the human body comes in different shapes and sizes regardless of weight. However, it was definitely a factor in making "The Fight of the Century" look like anything but.
