Mayweather shouldn't be in the HOF.

[Dirt E Gomez]

Well it shouldve been action-packed for that amount of money.

People were CHEATED in with that fight.

Nobody was cheated. Anybody w/ any boxing IQ knew what was going to happen. I didn't pay for the fight. I had no interest in seeing Floyd box circles around Oscar. I knew the outcome ahead of time and doubted there would be any surprises.

There is no guarantee w/ any sports other than the fact that the opponents/teams will show up. I could watch the superbowl and watch both teams go 3 and out all night and the winning team kick a field goal. Doesn't mean I was cheated of ****.

And you're still debating it is a showcase fight.. so Mayweather is supposed to carry boxing on his back because it was a high profile fight? **** that. It's no 1 boxer's job to do **** except win.

[Vladimir303]

Oh it sure failed to attract more fans. If ever there was a showcase fight, this was it.

Like I said. He won........deal with it.

[Fox McCloud]

He outlanded Oscar? Are you honestly using the compustats as your basis for saying that? Those compubox stats are the most ****ed-up stats I've ever seen and I'm a stat major!

1. I am shocked that you are in college... you literally seem like someone who can't eat a meal with slopping food all down the front of you.

2. Compubox stats (as well as judges) do take note when punches are blocked, especially by shoulders and what not, because those are punches that can look like they landed, when in reality they were brushed off.

You can't be serious that you think Oscar was accurate enough with his flurries that he outlanded Mayweather.

He did what he had to do to win against a man that was bigger than him. So whats your point?

My goodness, a lot of fighters fight bigger opponents. Bigger opponents IN THEIR PRIME. And they have done far better, even if they were only paid little.

It was supposed to be the most-hyped, most-awaited, most expensive boxing match of all time. Unfortunately it failed miserably.

Most-Hyped? Yes it was.

Most-Awaited? Yes, it probably was.

Most-Expensive? Yes, pretty sure it was.


Was it the greatest fight ever? No, don't recall anyone think that was going to happen. But, after the fight I didn't hear anyone say, "That fight was boring either."

Quick: Which fighters have been able to win a title in their 5th weight class.

I'll start you off with the first 2:
Roy Jones Jr.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Got any more?

With that being said, WHAT IS YOUR POINT? I'm still waiting to hear it!

After comparing compubox stats w/ my notes in many fights, I couldnt gree more with this economist.

The fight bored millions of people. Clearly you are out of touch.
