Really how many dull fights as Floyd had in the last 5 yrs? How many has he had in the last 8? I can only think of 1 and that was Baldomir and he was just no match for Floyd's speed. the Oscar fight didn't live up to the hype, but it was still entertaining.

I bet any of his detractors without their agenda and disdain for him for not fighting so and so when they wanted....deep down inside respect him and when he is done fighting acknowledge his skill and greatness. right now to hate Floyd is the populist thing to do and that is all. People will stil cont to buy his fights and his popularity will cont. to increase.

Also I think we got to pull back on calling people racist. There is nothing wrong with cheering for a fighter of your heritage and culture. There is nothing wrong with having pride in 1 self. It is when that pride can only be built up off another person race, that's a problem.

with that said u didn't include the buys over the pond which also contributes to the sales of the fight. and hatton is not Oscar so did Floyd have a significant drop or did hatton just not bring what Oscar could?

Floyd WAS exciting prior to moving up. But he cant be exciting now at Welter and I can't blame him. It doesn't favor him to do so. I'm not discrediting him, im just speaking the truth.

Mitchell was a a good fight, it ended in aTKO and he was put down twice I believe.
Brusseles got Koed too.
Oscar was a entertaining fight as well. Do u like boxing?
