    I'd sooner watch Roman Gonzalez vs. Yasegashi than watch Floyd run and pitty-pat for a decision win over another overmatched opponent. MUCH less expensive and much better TV fight.

      Terrible comeback. More people pay to watch Mayweather than choose to watch Wlad for free.

        you are entitled to your opinion. but if espn got the chance to show a floyd fight they would in a heartbeat because he gets ratings, which is the name of the game.

        while you and some others love wlad, most of the US fans do not. You are not man enough to admit this but his last 2 fights on HBO were horrible. He was just as bad as the opponents. That is the only reason he is even available for ESPN to negotiate with.

        As I've said to you many times before your anger should be directed at the mainstream and diehard fans who have made the decision not to tune in when wlad fights.

          More people around the world watch Wlad's fights than Floyd's.

            I doubt that.

              Overmatched opponents?

              Let's look at his past opponents:

              Canelo: World champion when they fought
              Cotto: world champion when they fought and future HOFamer
              The Ghost: 2 times world champion
              Victor Ortiz: World champion when they fought
              Shane Mosley: World champion when they fought and future HOFamer

              Wlads last 5 fights:

              Povetkin: "regular champ"
              Pianeta: ranked outside the top 15 when they fought
              Wach: Ranked outside the top 15 when they fought
              TT: top 10 now, didn't have a single top 15 win to his name either of the times Wlad fought him
              Mormeck: inactive cruiserweight who was ranked outside the top 15.

              I really don't think you should talk about "overmatched" opponents when comparing Floyd and Wlad.

                Floyd may be boring, but he's obviously very skilled. There's nothing skillful about Wlad's holding and fouling.

                And Floyd has fought MUCH better opponents than Wlad.

                  ESPN is getting ready incase one of America's hopefuls is ready to take the crown away so they need Wlad to get more American exposure.

                      When Floyd boxes it's masterful



                      Wlad? Nothing skillful about it.



                      Lol. Haters gonna hate, I suppose.
