Hats off and respect to Mayweather for fighting his fight, imposing his style upon Manny, and completely shutting down his offensive capabilities.


I agree that boxing, the Sweet Science, boils down to hitting while not getting hit, and Floyd is superb at that. His defense and countering, along with his boxing IQ (in the ring IQ), allow him to do what he does.


I am not a fan of his (Mayweathers) style. I'm old school. My favorite fighters are Diego Corrales, Mickey Ward, Arturo Gatti, Alfredo Angulo, Johny Tapia. Men that FIGHT. That throw it down. Men that make it fucking exciting and captivating. I know, they're not the greatest boxers, but I just love it when two fighters beat the shit out of each other till one of them drops or till the end. I think after tonight, after all the hype and build up, this fight hurt boxing. A lot of casuals tuning in expecting an epic throw down were royally disappointed.


In the end, I understand completely the different styles of boxing and not everyone fights the same. But I hope after Floyd retires, his style retires with him.


My buzzed two cents.
Mayweather should give JMM a tip for creating a scared cautious Pac. May have been more competitive with no KO. Then again 5 years Manny was the spokesman for Dole as he clearly juiced. Now he is a scared little sucked in lookig man with lots of money.
