You really think that? Floyd was backing up all the time. I had Floyd winning 8 rounds to 4, but it wasn't because he was aggressive. I had Floyd winning because he dominated the scoring categories of defense and ring generalship.
If you are going to cite CompuBox, keep in mind that CompuBox stats should be taken with a grain of salt. CompuBox makes itself sound like it is computerized, but it's really just two dudes trying the best they can to count punches thrown and landed while they are watching the fight live at full speed. It may be somewhat reliable for punches thrown, but there's a lot of room for error in the punches landed stat that they provide. As far as punches thrown, Pac and Floyd were about even according to CompuBox; however, CompuBox did have Manny throwing more power punches.
Exactly, it's funny to see Mayweather fans use that as their bread and butter though. Pacquiao was blocking a lot of shots too.
