I wasn't surprised at all that Pacquiao lost, just that he got knocked out. Marquez got robbed at least once previously, we knew he could beat Pacquiao. I never thought he'd show that kind of power, though.
Pacquiao makes mistakes in the ring, he always has. He usually covers those up with pure power and hand speed but quality counter-punchers have a shot against him. That's why Pacquiao would have been an underdog against Mayweather, who is one of the most skilled boxers I've ever seen in my life. The guy's defense and counter-punching ability are unreal. Style is a big part of boxing. Despite what everyone wants to believe, Mayweather would be a nightmare match-up for Pacquiao. Power punchers always have a shot, of course, but it would have been an uphill struggle.
