Litzau does the things that Mayweather haters say most boxers should do stand and fight and he just lost a fight he could have had in the bag. Doesn't matter the respect he got, he still got an 1 on his record now. I hope he learns what fighting for the fans get you. Thats probably why people get mad at Mayweather because he DOESN'T do that and removes all doubt to give an opponent a chance to land that ONE shot.
You ca't really say what Paulie would have done because the whole world thought he would have boxed Cotto too but he didn't. Also,that's silly to say Mayweather haters,may be it's just fans who want to see more action for their hard earned money. If you pay $50 to see fights, and the guy is earning $8million for the fight, you expect to see something first and second,he has no one to blame but himself for his critics,if you're going to compare yourself to SRR,SRL etc etc then of course there are going to be higher expectations from you.

Secondly, his antics after the fight hardly endear him to the fans with his silly crying and mood swings at Merchant. I mean 1 minute I see HBO team kiss PBF's ass then the next minute,everyone's dissing on Merchant when he's doing his job and asking the right questions.

Finally,what was most dissappointing about his performance was that ok,he landed a nice shot here and there but it was not a virtuoso performance.And you talk about not giving the opponent a chance but watch the Jesus Chavez fight,the Corley fight etc etc. He stood his ground in those fights. Just because I was not impressed by the performance does not make me a hatre,because I have justified my opinion.

Sorry that was a bit off topic,I'm about to watch the Litzau fight now!

Couldn't you say the Chavez fight Mayweather did that because that was part of the plan to beat Chavez. And the Corley fight he stood there with Corley because that was his easiest way to get to Corley? In the Corley fight he did a little of both when he had to.

But people always bring up the Baldomir fight. And you bring up both the Chavez and Corley fight. Corley wasn't overwhelmingly big compared to Mayweather and Mayweather could impose his will on him when he had to. Baldomir on the other hand is naturally huge and Mayweather isn't a natural 147 pounder. So his plan was to make the fight as easy for himself as possible. Is he so wrong for making the fight easy for himself using the best strategy to beat someone like Baldomir? I don't think Corley or Chavez had the heart chin determination or natural size Baldomir had so Mayweather did what he had to do to win.

Could you agree with that?
