    The Andrew Berto fight was the first time I ever saw Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight.

    Guy is amazing, I became an instant fan. Can't wait for next fight.

          Mayweather - JMM was the first Floyd match I ever saw

          I recall thinking ¨that black dude is a *****¨ when I was looking at the enormous size difference and the fact the bigger dude was still fighting overly defensive against the overmatched midget.

          JMM looked bloated and sluggish as hell in that fight, he was in his worst shape EVER, very different from the JMM that I had previously watched giving Pacquiao hell in two fights.

          Then I recalled that JMM was the lightweight champion and this match was at WW and I cringed. So JMM had jumped two divisions straight and was clearly not acclimated to the weight, and this guy called Mayweather looked huge in comparison and for some reason his weight wasn't made public, but It looked like I was watching a MW fighting a bloated LW, and the MW dude was fighting overly negative and cautious, forcing the smaller dude to be the aggresor, and never once looked for the KO. it was sickening.

          I started to despise Mayweather right there, I thought he was too much of a ***** and boring as ****. I have never been proved wrong ever since.

            I first saw Floyd live vs Sharmba Mitchell back in late 2005, but had read plenty about him and seen a bit of footage before then, back when I was a 14 year kid trying to get into the sport.

                The sharmba mitchell was PPV?

                lol, I thought he had started the trend of fighting bums on overpriced PPV's more recently

                  Vote and discuss.

                  Man I've seen almost all of his boxing matches and I ain't seen one fight in them yet.

                    Need to include his Gatti fight- that was his PPV debut. And REALLY need to include Corrales fight, that was the most eye-opening performance Floyd ever turned in.

                      It wasn't. It was on regular HBO in Portland, OR. It was his first 147 fight in preparation for Zab.
