    I second that.

      I'd have no trouble with the fight as a draw. Although I think that DLH had the edge just on sheer heart and determination.

        Its ****ed up that yall most people are juding and dislike PBF as person and letting it affect how you judge his fights. It doesn't matter if you dislike him as a person because of all the **** he talks and how he carries himself. All of that has nothing to do with his boxing skills. Boxing isn't about standing toe to toe with your opponent. Its the art of hitting and not being hit which he is the best at right now. PBF standing and trading with De la Hoya is like a power running football team switching to a ******* offense in the super bowl. What kind of ****ing sense does it make to switch a style that has gotten you 37 wins and 0 losses. The fact that he has beaten 38 fighters with damn near the same style shows he deserves even more credit than he gets because nobody has figured out a way to beat him yet. That says alot about the type of boxer he is because 38 have tried and 38 have lost with all but 37 already knowing what type of fighter he is.

          I couldn't agree more. The fight was a draw. It's that simple. End of story.

              The judges scored it for Mayweather. The media scored it for Mayweather. The fans scored it for Mayweather. The writer of this article is a joke...

                  I wasn't searching for this on purpose, I just found it searching for something else...

                  Did this guy really just say that this fight lived up to the pre-fight hype AND it should have been a draw and not a win for Mayweather?

                  Hmmmm...

                  This guy obviously knows a lot about the sport and should probably be consulted about everything, because I think he's incapable of being wrong about anything after he has really set my mind straight on this fight. I had no idea how many different things I was wrong about for this fight alone!

                      That was pure sarcasm...

                      Nothing... it was a fairly dull fight that had 0 chance of living up to the hype for it before hand, even if it was Corrales-Castillo III, and it was a box and move type of fight. It also was a clear win for Mayweather.

                      The writer is... lacking sense in this article.
