- Floyd Mayweather Jnr defeated Manny Pacquiao in the 'fight of the century' back in May on a unanimous points decision
- Pacquiao had been suffering from a shoulder injury at the time and believed that he would have won had he been fully fit
- Mayweather, however, believes his opponent was simply making excuses
Manny Pacquiao still feels that he defeated Floyd Mayweather Jnr in their lucrative 'fight of the century' back in May, despite the American being awarded the victory on a points decision.
According to his promoter Bob Arum, Pacquiaio, who was suffering from a right shoulder injury at the time of the bout, believes that he did enough to claim the win, but the judges did not agree.
Pacquiao is convinced, however, that if he had been fully fit, then the call would not have been difficult to make at all. 'He thought he won the fight,' Arum revealed to Boxing Scene, 'With both shoulders, he felt he would have won easy.'

Arum himself believes that the match should have been a draw. 'I watched the fight over and over again,' he said, 'Without being biased - in addition to the four rounds that (two) judges gave Pacquiao - I gave him the second.'
Arum added, 'I don't see how you could take the second round away from him. And the last round as well, which would have made it a draw.'
