    RiGo, Roy, ali, mike, sweet pea, srl, bernard and many others would stand right infront of you utilizing headmovment and blocking ability to avoid punches and land punches. That is how "pretty boy" floyd faught, But Money Mayweather sucks balls.
    I really wonder - have you ever stepped inside a boxing ring?

    Because I have and I can tell you it's a lot smaller than it looks. There is no place to run.

    If you move your feet and it helps you to avoid getting hit then to me that's called footwork.

    There's a lot of saltiness about the fight and in particular about the way Mayweather won. Here's the thing though - Mayweather was the undefeated fighter and if Manny wanted that "0" then it was up to him to take it.

    why yes sir I have been in a ring, and yes it is small. Im also sprinter, and played football in college and after..........Im very quick agile. If I dont want to be touched i can shake you out your boots in a phone booth. So saying there is no place to run is bull shit.

    People wanted to see action. People wanted to see a fight, not a yellow caution signal all night.
    If anything may couldve used his philly shell and banged with pac a lil bit. shit, people paid mega money to watch this. He didnt even attempt to beat pac up, just content to punch, run, hug, repeat all night

    I didn't want to see action, I wanted to see boxing and Mayweather outboxed the shit outta Manny. Clinical in approach and did all he had to do to win.

    just like anybody, i love knockouts but i dont mind a masterful performance. i stand firm that if you think that floyd was just "running" the whole fight, you need to change sports you watch or at least just watch selective fights. i love boxing with the good and bad and have been bored through many fights over the years, but i have never complained that a fighter was too boring if they were good. i understand that they are there to win and i understand that the sport has all different styles. i get frustrated when a fighter is boring and isnt trying to win (like when he is really running).

    lets take the good with the bad. its the same for all sports. some teams play fast paced, while others slow down the pace. it can be frustrating sometimes and make the game ugly, but i will never complain if its effective because its called being smart. mayweather wasnt overly exciting but he was smart and won the fight.

    yeah if you dont want to watch floyd dont watch him

    im never that arsed about watching him, not all because of his style but mainly because hes an irritating bellend

    but what do you say to non boxing fans when they say the fight was boring because he held all the time? fight of the century?

    You have to know something about a sport to appreciate it.

    The general public who think of boxing as Mike Tyson, or Will Smith as Ali, or the Rocky franchise, don't understand the sport. They bought the Pacquiao hype job. I'm not saying it's the public's fault...but saying that Floyd just grabbed and ran all night is like saying Wimbledon is just people hitting balls over a net, or the Indy 500 is just cars going round in circles, or the Tour de France is men riding bikes up and down hills.

    It was called the fight of the century because it was the two most iconic fighters fighting today squaring off against each other for the largest boxing purse ever. It was called the fight of the century because it was going to sell more PPVs and generate more money than any other boxing match ever. It was called the fight of the century to make money.

    It was not guaranteed to be an exciting fight. If you know anything about Mayweather's style, then you aren't surprised by how he fought. If you know anything about the sweet science, and respect what it means, then you more than likely enjoyed the fight. If you were looking for an all out war, then you were looking at the wrong event. This was never going to be Gatti vs Ward or Corrales vs Castillo or Tyson vs Spinks...if you thought it was, then you're a moron.

    What would you tell someone who watches the World Cup expecting to see something special? "The beautiful game" my ass! Talk about pathetic boring sporting events that are overblown hype jobs filled with fake injuries.
