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

Where was the offence? 

While Manny Pacquiao worked to get inside, Floyd Mayweather did little to nothing more than play defense for most of what was supposedly "The Fight of the Century." Saturday night bar brawls have seen more action than Mayweather brought, and while defensive fighting isn't a bad thing, too much of it, and you question whether the fighter employing the tactic came to fight at all.

That was the case with Mayweather, whose own corner began screaming at him to do something partway through the fight, imploring him to throw some lefts, to do something, other than sit back and occasionally jab with the right to create distance.

Outside of brief flashes of offence from Pacquiao, much of the first six rounds seemed like a glorified sparring session, not a fight fans paid close to $100 dollars to be put to sleep by. 

It was all made worse by the number of ugly clinches and headlocks Mayweather tried to employ to stall the fight rather than actually unleashing some offense of his own.
