Oscar De La Hoya slams 'running' style of boxing after Pacquiao-Mayweather

For retired boxing legend Oscar dela Hoya, Floyd Mayweather is to blame for a boring fight against Manny Pacquiao.

De La Hoya did not name names in his post on Twitter after the fight, but said that he is not a fan of a "running style" boxing hinting strongly that he was referring to the American boxer.

Im just not into the boxing, running style. I like jumping out of my seat because a fight was existing and the fans got their money's worth.

Mayweather won via unanimous decision after controlling the pace most of the rounds and skillfully evading Pacman's punches with his fast reflexes and his mighty defense.

Pacquiao connected a few times and owned the fourth round, but overall just got outboxed by the undefeated pound-for-pound king who fought smart and refused to engage in a slugfest.

Call me old school but I like the fans getting their money's worth by watching an action packed fight.

Dela Hoya did not hide his disappointment with how the fight turned out, as it was dubbed by many as the biggest fight in boxing history.

Not everyone, however, shared De La Hoya's view. British boxer Amir Khan, a former sparmate of Pacquiao, congratulated Mayweather for the "easy" win.

Well done @FloydMayweather great performance #EasyWork
