Yes, they actually said that.

Dude! That's Roseanne Barr, or maybe Rosie O'Donnell! LOL

I'm surprised Floyd-Canelo has gotten as much attention as it has in this particular thread. I personally couldn't say how I'd view it differently, because I'd rather watch paint dry than to watch Floyd totally shut out Canelo again. The hype was incredible.... the fight was piss poor. It brought out the fact that Canelo didn't belong in the ring with Floyd in the first place. The only other "hype vs. real fight" letdown was Floyd-Pac... and at least Pac was able to actually hit Floyd a few times during the fight.

Yeah but that says a lot about Floyd, doesn't it? That he could go up a weight class and dominate a guy who was #1 there and over 20lbs heavier than him on fight night. Canelo is no joke and Mayweather made him look like a bum.

Manny v Floyd, I now see it as many winning by shut out.

Canelo v Trout
Trout won

i watched canelo v trout once and i thought that canelo was lucky with the verdic

i dont mean trout was robbed or anything but i think it was a razor close fight and could have gone either way

Yes, it was a close fight but I have to say I do think Trout got robbed. At the time Canelo was being groomed for greatness. The only way Trout could have won was if he KTFO Canelo. If the fight didn't happen in Texas I think the outcome would have been closer.

watching Pac vs JMM I -I felt Pac got jobbed. The 1 judge screwed up and didn't count the 3 knockdowns.

While I still feel that way, Today I can't see Pac winning but 3 rounds 4 at best. Watching it live, I had Pac winning...I dunno....maybe 5 or six rounds.

I mean I know it wasn't Gatti/Ward but when you watch the boxing craft that Mayweather displayed, especially at his advanced age, it's incredible.

I find it weird that boxing heads love to talk about the craft of past guys like Willie Pep and marvel at how slick they were, but then totally dismiss the craft of modern day guys as boring or cowardly. If you appreciate the sweet science, Floyd brings the goods.
