      Give it a year and we'll have a significant number of people citing this fight as a gift decision in Mayweather's favour.

        When i watched it the first time, I kept thinking, "why isn't he even trying!?"

        Watched it a second time, and impressed me. My final analysis is, Ghost ain't on Floyd's level (obviously), but he'd give ANY WW trouble.
        Oh I can totally agree with that. It wasn't like the Ghost came to get a paycheck. He tried to pressure Floyd and rough him up, **** he even tried to box a bit but you don't play that game with Mayweather. Even in the last few rounds (Sans the 11th where he got beat on) he tried to get to Floyd and push the action. Floyd was just on another level.

          Judah won 3 rounds the day after they fought. I believe I read that he won 6 rounds now, years later. Guerrero will have won the fight 115-113 by the end of next year.

              I'd say RG didn't win more than 2 or 3 rounds but the majority of rounds were competitive it's just that RG doesn't have one punch power and his skill and speed are pretty ordinary. Yet, a lot of fighters and media members were praising Mayweather after the fight as possibly the best to ever glove them up, including Malignaggi. I don't know what got into his head cause he's usually point on. Anyway, Canelo will be a completely different experience for Floyd. Canelo is a strong precise puncher with skill and speed. That doesn't bode too well for Money May but if he is the best of all time he should handle that.

                I finally rewatched it on my 3D/HD/Blueray IPAD MINI yesterday, I watch it in super slo-mo along with my flo-mayweather rose tinted glasses and guess what? I had it 10-2 rounds to the wifebeater.

                  Pretty much. It's not like there's a bunch of Floyds out there. He just got beat by the best boxer in the game.

But the crowd was kissing Floyd's ass with those reactions to whatever Floyd threw.

                      Pacquiao still beats this dude.
