Good ****, Miss, I agree with you, but I still have mad respect for JMM for going on what Mangler has correctly termed a "kamikaze mission" and giving it his all.
It made for a ****ty, disgraceful fight, but it confirmed everything I thought about JMM and his character before the fight.
If the world had more people like him in it, we'd all be in a better place right now.Comment

it's too bad casual fans have to tune in to a fight like this...
imagine if all the casual fans that saw the fight yesterday would've tuned in to see a fight like Izzy vs RafaComment

Props to TomatQKinG111 who wrote this:
I mean Floyd is always in a no win situation. I dont blame floyd for taking the mic from MAX I would be snapping too If I had boxing skills that was superior and was always overshadowed by fighters with half the skill or fighters who liked to take endless amounts of punishment just to please the fans.
Why bleed and cut it you don't have too?
I don't blame Floyd for not wanting to be punch drunk.
Could you imagine someone like MJ dumbing down his skill level to make a bball game closer so people can see a more competitive game
or Jerry Rice purposely dropping passes so football fans can see how he struggles under pressure.
Alot of "so-called" boxing fans are always trying to force Floyd and other fighters that practice the sweet science to abandon their defense n put there chin in the air for there enjoyment.
Athletes being asked to be less athletic, never thought I'd see the day.
Final PunchStat Report
Mayweather
290 / 493 Total Punches [ 59%]
185 / 316 Jabs [ 59%]
105 / 177 Power Punches [ 59%]
Marquez
69 / 583 Total Punches [12%]
21 / 288 Jabs [ 7%]
48 / 295 Power Punches [16%]
Total domination by Floyd who held Marquez to single digit connects in every round.
Floyd distributed his attack, landing 59%of his power shots and 59% of his jabs.
Floyd landed more jabs each round than Marquez did total punches.
Floyd’s performance was reminiscent of Roy Jones’ domination of Reggie Johnson. Jones outlanded Johnson 276-48, but one can’t place Johnson in the same class as Marquez, and future Hall of Famer.Comment

It's his own fault when he makes the claims he does but hasn't fought the top fighters. Regardless of your essays you post his own hometown fans in las vegas cussed him as he left the ring. Its sad, he's turning into a sideshow. To think all it would take to reverse this is to shutup, and make fights that fans want to see and stop making contradictions. Gosh is it really too much to ask?Comment
