    Theres money in it or it wouldn't be happening, but it amazes me anyone would think this was entertaining
    Golf is a very poor analogy, its about as boring as ocean yacht racing, boxing has a lot more appeal because of the idea its a fight, people love fights.

      A matter of perspective I guess. A good Ryder cup has more entertainment for me than 90% of boxing the last few years.

      I see your point about a fight...but is this really that?

        Its the concept of a fight that is the hook, attach it to a well-known great of the sport and its a thrill for some just to see them go through the motions, I bet there would be loads of people that would pay just to watch Floyd hit a bag, just so they could one day tell their grandchildren they seen him for real, lots of people like this all over the world, I remember when Azumah Nelson was over here to fight Fenech and we ran all over town for two days to find where he was working out, the reason was my good friend wanted a photo of his young boy then 3 being held by Nelson, we got that photo and I bet its framed and a great memory. we had the same kind of experience when I was 20 when Joe Frazer and Jimmy Ellis were in Australia I got a glove signed by Joe and was over the moon, years later my dog got hold of it a ripped it to shreds I could have killed him at the time lol.

            Yes, thanks Floyd for the entertainment. I not watched the fights yet but no doubt I'll get round to it, I saw tenshin, Connor McGregor but not recent ones.

              Floyd vs Jake, may as well do it, anything goes.
              To be fair, it would make a ton of money,and Mayweather can show he overcomes another size disadvantage because he has the skill. It would be okay against a novice boxer in Jake,

              It's not like he'd be fighting Tyson Fury or anything.

                You are wasting your time explaining anything to these casual fans.
                They show up just to troll.
                They have so much toxic hate.
                They propagate lies.
                They have zero knowledge about boxing.


                Even if we look at Floyd’s career from WW when he moved up in 2006 at 35-0, he was literally in front of all his opponent. They hit nothing but air.
                Floyd walked guys down whenever he felt like doing it.

                I was impressed, after Mosley tagged him, the remainder of the fight was Floyd walking a future HOF'er down for 10 rounds, Helped greatly by Uncle Roger's corner commentary.

                  Sounds like he is finally admitting to being the clown that some of us already knew he was

                      Horrible mention. Mosley? Lmfao great fighter but by then was a four round fighter if that. Not sure what happened to his tank but I’ve never seen a fighter lose their ability to fight full rounds past the 4th like Mosley. By product of the conte stuff who knows but mosley tank was trash the finial like five years of his career. Frankly think if not for his tank he had answers for Floyd as he showed several times.Go watch the fight again, hell the two before that as well. Floyd had quiet snap power but your use of Mosley made me laughs and sign in.
