But that doesn't get past the fact that I enjoy watching Toney fight and fall asleep watching Floyd. Of course Toney isn't operating on Floyd's level these days, but he's in his mid 40's. He isn't going to to be, but even now he still has just as much output as Floyd and I am mega excited about his fight with Lebedev. I couldn't say the same about Mayweather/Ortiz. Toney is such fun to watch and even an old Toney.

He's been one of my favourites for years and he always will. A legend who ducks nobody.
Hey fair enough, I'm really hopeful Toney can pull it off tomorrow as well and wish I could watch. I really don't get enjoying Toney of late though if Floyd puts you to sleep.. He simply does not have as much output as Mayweather has over the last few years and defensively they are the closest thing to each other in the sport skill wise. I wasn't excited about Mayweather/Ortiz either but it was pretty good action until the end, which I don't blame Mayweather for in the slightest myself.
I'm not debating the legality of those cheap shots by Floyd, perfectly legal. But to tell everyone for years that you're making certain moves for the good of boxing? That wasn't for the good of boxing. To tell people that you are the greatest of all time (he states he's better than Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson) and then have to win like that? Not buying it. If you're the greatest of all time, you shouldn't have to take cheap shots like that. No one in the consensus to 10 greatest boxers of all time won any of their fights on a cheap shot. Maybe got some decisiions they didnt deserve, but didn't take cheap shots that resulted in a fight ending and didn't rob boxing fans of their purchase. Again, perfectly legal, but give me a break.
