    Only a hater would not give him credit for winning 35 mins and 59 seconds of that fight. Dominated him after a long layoff. It was like a joke in there and I refuse to believe a few lbs makes that difference. It was a masterpiece.

        He probably would have been given more credit if he wasn't so dominant.

        still, jmm was far too small to be fighting at 145 (effectively 147, floyd was overweight)

            Would you give Carl Froch credit for dominating Canelo Alvarez?

              I do & I'm not even the biggest Floyd fan infact I dont like him at all, but he did dominate him. Now could Floyd have picked a better opponent? YES!!! But that's Floyd never take any chance, fights every other year then retires, ducks anyone he can & fights smaller fighters. Thou I'm very surprised he chose Ortiz as his next apponent.

                no and why should we? You can make a lot of great techinical fighters seem mortal by putting them beyond their ceiling in terms of weight class. JMM had no business being at 144 and before you or anyone claim fight night weight being the same explain to me why JMM promptly went back down to 135 right after this fight

                Mayweather gets no credit from me I knew he would dominate I knew it was too much for JMM to handle and the result was totally what I expected

                  Today? Not really.......but the name JMM who is a future HOF will decorate Floyd's resume in 50 years. Fact.

                    Credit yes, Respect no. To me they are different. Floyd gets credit for the win but the 144 weight and the $600k for the 2lbs over was simply the bigger draw exerting too much influence over the parameters of the fight.
