    Gayweather can return fighting Calderon for good measure.

    That would be a fair matchup.
    I will tell you, the whole point of Boxing is to hit and not get hit...

    Well when Floyd is in there, he hits the other guy... and barely gets hit... he is doing what he is supposed to, yet your moaning agreeing that Floyd is boring and stuff.

      Yes Floyd does what he is supposed to do, but it does not mean Floyd is not boring sometimes. Floyd is such a great boxer but he is in a lot of boring fights because of his style and its the reason a lot of people don't like watching his fights. People want that fighter instinct not a lot want that boxer instinct

        It wasn't a bad night for boxing. You had to expect that it could be boring. I thought Floyd would turn it up a bit one sided or not, but he was casual as usual. Still Floyd's not necessarily a crowd pleaser anyway. The fight people need to see is on November 14th.

          Boxing is an acquired taste anyway. You cannot whatsoever blame a guy for being conservative and defensive. He's 40-0. He's extremely rich. He's not slurring his words. Nothing wrong with being boring in that sense.

            well to be honest!

            mayweather did nothing wrong in the post fight interview.. .he was set up by HBO, GBP MAX KELLER, NARD & SHANE....


            when he took on the mic @ the end... and kellerman.. just ignore him and called for jim....

            that was BULL****!!!!

            they set up the guy!! and didnt let him defend him self!!! that was some bull**** and disrespectfull... with that being said..

            that was the most entertaining part of the card

              I gotta agree it was a bad night. Boxing fans expect better challenges, cherry pickings from Oscar and Floyd are getting old ppl see this, while they filled their pockets, sport is losing.

The place I was at had both the ufc and the mayweather fight on screens, and the mayweather had everyones attention until about the 5th round when people saw the graphic and how every round was going to get scored for mayweather no matter how little he did. people were arguing about who won the first round,and everybody reacted to the 2nd round knockdown, but from there it was a really bad night to be a boxing fan. the announcers seemed more interested in putting over mayweather then calling the fight. and then mayweather had the nerve to rip the microphone out of Max kellermans hands before he could ask him any questions about pacquaio. i was embarressed by the end of the night to tell anyone that I went there soley to see the boxing.
                This part makes no sense at all, You say "Mayweather had everyone attention until about the 5th round" I would think he had their attention cause he was dominating those rounds, yet then you come with "people saw the graphic and how every round was going to get scored for mayweather no matter how little he did." huh??

                "the announcers seemed more interested in putting over mayweather then calling the fight." Yeah that what happens when one fighter is dominating the other.

                "then mayweather had the nerve to rip the microphone out of Max kellermans hands before he could ask him any questions about pacquaio."

                Max: Manny Pacquiao, I thought that would get your attention
                Floyd: I know what can do... [Cut Off]
                Max: And you showed what you can do tonight
                Floyd: And I [Cut Off]
                Max: Let me ask you about the selection of Marquez as your opponent, it seems that [Cut Off]
                Floyd: The thing is this you do to much talking, let me do the talking.
                Max: Jim, Jim.

                On top of that the Interview started off with Max cutting Mayweather off, Mayweather wanted to thank people and Max just cut him right off.

                  The whole point of gayweather's career is fighting Judahs, Baldos and bloated JMM and avoiding Casamayor, Freitas, Kostya, Mosley, Marg, Cotto, etc.

                  Coz he's a coward.

                  He said so himself.

                    Gayweather couldn't even fill an arena which was delayed by months using a fake injury.

                    Gayweather is such a draw.

                    NOT REALLY.

                      I watched UFC at the same time and it was jampacked.

                      Boxing took a bad hit from UFC that day.

                      All coz a coward like gayweather gets a pass for fighting featherweights and ducking WW
