    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.
    Nothing to brag about douchebag, it was a physical mismatch.

    Floyd did what he was statistically supposed to do.

      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.
      Marquez has true heart. Forever respect this man.

        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 Rafa

          Hell yeah. Everyone including himself knew that he was at a huge disadvantage. JMM is a warrior no matter what.

            Floyd is always in a no win situation NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES.
            so this comment doesnt relate to mayweather

              it wasn't terrible .. just a very one sided fight

              I know for one thing, if I payed PPV price for it, I'd be a lot more pissed off

              (saw it at the theater .. it was sold out)

                  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?

                    Ive seen better bouts on Verses Network . PPV HBO should be ashamed. I will never watch Pacquiao/Cotto[if he beats PAC] /Mosley /Margarito/Paul Williams/ thats the only fight I will pay to see Floyd fight. Not because of him because Id Pay to watch these Guys fight. *** Floyd!!!!

                      Boxing (and MMA for that matter) is not just about brawls and slugfests, it's also about skills and techniques. Not a lot of people appreciate the latter and "boos" at the slightest sight of it.
