Floyd Mayweather Jr claims that he was more than deserving of his unanimous points victory over Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Arena.

Floyd Mayweather Jr has claimed that he was the "better man" after he stretched his unbeaten record to 48-0 with a unanimous points victory over Manny Pacquiao.

The Michigan scrapper eased past the Filipino at a sold-out MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday evening and, despite Pac-Man believing that he had done enough to win, Mayweather stressed that he was more than worth his victory.

Mayweather is quoted as saying by BBC Sport: "I made the non-believers into believers. I was the better man, the smarter fighter - more calculated, more patient.

"He was applying pressure but not landing many punches and I was just keeping my jab in his face. For years everyone said that I was scared and that I'd lose. [I made the critics] eat their words."

Pacquiao has since revealed that he sustained a shoulder injury prior to the fight.
