I am no longer a Mayweather fan, but watching him fight is a thing of beauty.

    His defensive skills are impressive but he has been retired from competative boxing for a few years now. Showcase bouts are all we will see from now on I think.

      That is my only beef with him. Hopkisn and Floyd were my two favorite fighters back in his lightweight days when he was smashing top competition. I honestly do not care about the guys who call him boring. I am one of the few who appreciates a defensive masterpiece just as much as a FOTY brawl.

        If he doesn't fight either Mosley, Cotto, or Pac next then he will lose my respect.

          I tell you what King, we disagree on a lot of things but this was unexpectedly good. Yeah Street will talk different depending on his company

            By the way his defense is sick. How can you not appreciate that.

              He didn't lose the heart. He saw the big, shiny bag of money.

              It's no coincidence that the Gatti fight was his first PPV and big exposure.

                  His fights are "boring" to some people because he's so dominant. What's Floyd supposed to do? Fight worse than he's capable of so it'll be more "exciting"? Let his opponent hit him on purpose?

                  When he fights Pacquiao, Mosley, or Cotto, it'll be just as "boring" because he'll be just as dominant, if not more. Marquez was a harder style matchup than any of those chumps. Floyd might not even have to break a sweat.

                    Yeah man, I consider him the most talented boxer in the game, but that's just frustrating, you know this is not Zsolt Erdei who ducks everyone and has some talent, this is f#$%ng Mayweather Jr., the purest boxer in the game, and he won't be around for too long, is like his "0" means everything for him.
