I agree with the both of you. It seems that more and more fans are being manipulted into believing a fight that is not on fair grounds is a meaningful mega-fight. 24-7, though I like it, contributes to that, along with commentators that are driven by emotion and not logic. Ive even found myself falling into the trap sometimes, but a level head almost alays prevails. Last night was a mismatch. A great big man beat a great small man. Floyd looked impressive, but he was supposed to. Anything less would have been surprising.
I am hoping that the boxing fans that buy into fights like this with no reguard to the weight advantage/disadvantage are realizing that it is a huge factor. Manny Steward said it best, there are weight classes for a reason.
