Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Junior has heaped praise on his opponent Manny Pacquiao following his unanimous points victory in Las Vegas.

Mayweather said:

He's a hell of fighter, he's one of the guys at the pinnacle in sport of boxing

I know he was going to push me. He had moments in the fight. I wasn't getting hit with a lot of shots.

He is a tough competitor, I have got to take my hat off to my dad without him I wouldn't be here.
