    Offensively yes it was. Excitement wise, yes, definitely more exciting. Thurman pleased the fans and took risks, and paid for those risks as well. Thurman even won more rounds officially, across the board than Mayweather. Thurman also landed 15 more punches than Floyd, but threw over 122 more punches to get those extra 15 over Floyd.

    As far as an overall performance, meaning offense and defense, Floyd was the more well rounded fighter.

      You would have said that it was due to the head to head accidental collision that happened early on in the fight. Then you would have said that it was clearly not because of a punch .... you goddamn haters.....

      so you are right ..... you would have said goddamn.

        Remember that Guerrero had a long layoff and had just moved up several divisions and faced Floyd soon after. Guerrero should be better adapted to WW division now. Still don't think its Guerrero's division.

        Guerrero has always had heart but is slow with his hands and feet.

          Guerrero has a good chin but is flat footed and slow. The fight didnt show much but that they can hit slow flat footed fighters. Thurman got caught a couple times but he's exciting to watch, unlike you know who.

              Honestly who cares? Floyd won his fight and dominated Guerrero in the process, you can't hate or discredit that.

                  Thurman has the power to keep Guerrero honest, while Mayweather didn't.

                  It doesn't matter if Keith had a g****fruit on his forehead, because again, Robert knew he can't walk in silly and get caught.

                  I can turn this around and say Mayweather fought a Guerrero who had been undefeated in 7 years and was the interim WBC WW Champion where as Thurman was fighting a guy who was in rebuilding mode.

                  People that just can't appreciate pure boxing without the KOs/Knockdowns, should just switch to another combat sport, preferably MMA as their is emphasis on "finishes".

                    Thurman did beat him better than Floyd did on the score cards and on punches landed and received. He hurt him and knocked him down and his fight was more entertaining than Floyd's fight with Guerrero. Floyd outboxed Guerrero by a wide margin. Thurman not only outboxed him, he out fought him and knocked him down. Floyd beat Guerrero easily but Thurman did an even better job on Guerrero.
