Bruising the opponent doesn't win the fight... WOW Corley and Augustus bruised and bled MAyweather does that mean they won as well? GOOD CALL Josef.
I'm glad that you clarified that. I think that Floyd worked very hard for this victory, but I agree, he CLEARLY won. I worked all day and I this is the first thread I've read today, so I don't know how many people are saying it was close. It wasn't. 8-3-1 sounds about right. I could go with 8-4. It would be a huge stretch to say 7-5.

That being said, he ain't top 3 P4P all-time if he retires now. Top 5 P4P guys fight and beat EVERYONE or all most everyone near there weight who matters. ODLH is a big NAME, but let's face it, he is more popular than great. There are better fighters and tougher fights for Floyd right now - Cotto and Mosley. Oscar was and is still a very good fighter, but this is his 5th loss and he's 34. I don't want to take anything away from Floyd, because this win, and the way he won, means a lot to his legacy and it means a lot in terms of making the general public aware of his greatness. It was a masterpiece performance on the biggest stage of his career.

I guess I would like see Floyd KO a top shelf opponent. I would like to see him finish the job against guys I grade above a B-. He hasn't done that since Chico. He clearly beat Judah, Baldy and Oscar, but he couldn't really hurt any of them, other than Judah. His punches, as clear, crisp and quick as they were, rarely bothered Oscar. He couldn't stop Castillo, Chop Chop, or Hernandez.

But that's really nitpicking, I guess. He is clearly the best of this era, unless Shane Mosely can prove me wrong. I will pay to watch him fight as long as he fights, because he just so good, the best I've seen in my adult life (other than espn classic). But no matter how great PBF is, nothing will change the fact that his is one of biggest assholes on the planet and I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire
