    He still "nutthugged" to his normal style. It's like he was afraid to break free form it, even for 10 seconds.

    maybe I should watch the jesus chavez one then?
    I understand you probably don't like Mayweather, but Mayweather is a professional fighter. He utilizes his boxing skills because he has those at his disposal and it is very effective under the rules of professional boxing.

    Having boxing skills does not make you less of a fighter.

      As well as Floyd himself, his crack head trainer has completely ridiculed and disrespected my hero. If I was an atheist I wouldn't hesitate running an axe into his throat.

        If you'd like to watch it, go ahead, it's not a bad fight.

        What I'm saying though is that the "Fighter of the Decade" award was awarded to Pacquiao based on achievements, not a preference of fighting style.

          Yes, but don't you think they had to pre-classify him as a fighter before analysing his achievements?

            Why? It's just a sport.

            I'm a die-hard Giants fan but I wouldn't break into Tom Brady's home because I have a whole lot of other things going on in my life besides sports.

              No, because if you enter a prize fight ring, you are automatically a fighter. Get it?

                ok fine, maybe I was being a bit to harsh then, lol. I'll just slap him instead.

                  How about if you beats you up instead, after all he was a pro fighter and is still in good physical shape? Wouldn't that make it seem like a waste then?

                      It depends how you behave in the ring.

                      In no way I am implying that boxers are cowards.
