    i never said any of that. if you look at my sig, you'll know what i think of mayweather. i know the best in the world is. but the notion that the only fighters who will exchange and put it all on line are skill-less, mindless, lead fisted sluggers is a bigger offense to the sport of Boxing than those criticizing mayweather's style. i posted the Vazquez/Marquez fight for a reason being that you can have an exciting dramatic fight WITH incredible boxing skill and talent.
    I didn't specifically call you out on that either, but there are people on this forum who think that Mayweather is bad for boxing, even though he does clearly win his bouts.

    There are actually ******s on here who think that strategy and defense in the ring should be secondary to entertainment. Ridiculous.

    But I figured someone with Barrera in their avatar could appreciate some good outboxing.

      really? so what your saying is that the only way to be "tactical" in a fight is just to pick when to throw punches? if you watch that highlight video, you'll see a lot of positioning, precision, etc. Marquez had a game plan that night but he just fell short.
      thats because they are awesome fighters....

      and im not saying a tactical fight is to just pick your punches....is to know what to do and apply that to a fight. dlh strategy was pressure floyd and when he threw the jab and came forward he was doing great, but when he stop throwing then floyd clearly dominated dlh.

      on the other hand vasquez knows that he would never beat marquez by boxing so going into the infight and exchanging pucnes was his game plan and he didnt need to force it through all the fight cos marquez was doing what he wanted.

      well, thats just what i think =P

        mayweather is good for boxing, the only bad thing about him is the message he gives to the children, when he talks about money and all that, like thats the most important thing of all :P....
        well i would love to have a lot of money too xD
