Whether you like Oscar or you don't...he is able to bring popularity to the sport...as much for what he does out the ring as he does in it. Floyd, for all of his talent, doesn't have the style of fighting nor the personality to sell the sport in a big way or be embraced by a huge audience. That's just the reality of it.
Your right thats the 1st time in the 100 or so years that boxing has existed that a fight didnt go how he said it would. But then again there is only 1 "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather jr thats why its such an issue at the moment
JT, believe me...i never thought for a moment that Floyd would fight the way he hyped it up. But that is besides the point...boxing is filled with many cases of big fights living up to the hype. This wasn't one of them. Also, my point about Floyd is not just about this particular fight...in general...he doesn't have the fighting style or personality that will bring a huge audience to this sport.
