    I mean he only took same IV Oscar taken and plenty of other fighters have taken and still take, that's why you only heard one boxer #48 say something about it and that's only for rematch purposes the rest of the ppl that's talking about is nsb know it alls who worship #48 once hauser report was refuted any news outlet who reported on matter stopped because it's a none issue nsac doesn't have a cap on how many ml fighters can take in and only reason Floyd called usada in to make sure it wasn't illegal, and he was tested before and after IV including blood drawn after fight, give it up no one wants to see a rematch of that terrible fight and that's all #48 fans banking on

        Good or bad this era has got a lot of people interested in boxing

        The fights on the other hand have never really lived up to the hype

        what got me into boxing and watching boxing was the Warriors (Nigel Benn)

        These last few years the social media side has f**ked the game up

        Too many divas , too many egos and not enough competitive fights

              I feel like a lot of people are missing the point. Even if ODLH doesn't care about Mayweather, as a promoter he should still talk about him because he's the top topic in the sport right now. Heck, even UFC is doing it.

              In essence, criticizing Mayweather as being a businessman over a fighter is exactly what he should do as a businessman.

                out of 48 fight 26 title fight? Damn he is bitter as hell
                He probably meant they are meaningless because Floydie juices. Maybe you missed the memo this week? Oh, and I helped define the fights you listed above.

                The total embarrassment to the sport is Floydie Juicemaster Mayweather.
                And BTW, boxing WILL take a serious hit before Floydie's PED issue is over.

                It doesn't matter what happened after 2008. DLH's intentions was to cherrypick Manny and duck Margarito. He even said before the Margarito-Cotto fight, that he will fight the winner. Of course, he was expecting Cotto to win, and so were the oddsmakers and majority of fans. Personally I predicted Margarito was too big and he would knock Cotto out, no bull****. But yeah, Cotto was favored to win and DLH thought so too. When **** went down south and Margarito won like he did, DLH shat his pants and backtracked on his comment of fighting the winner and cherrypicked Pacquiao. Can't use hindsight here because of the clear intentions of the pick at the time.
                So, do you think Margarito would've beaten up Oscar even worse than Pac did? Kinda doubt it, unless he'd have still had loaded gloves.

                Oscar has a point.

                Saline IV may have put on the most rich boxing fights out there but he put the most boring uneventful in history as well.

                If he was the least bit exciting, people would be lining up to see him this weekend even with the ticket prices being as "cheap" as they are.

                As it is, Saline soured people and nobody wants to see him.

                Even when Oscar fought Campas it wasn't a disaster and nobody was talking about how bad it would do ppv wise or with ticket sales.

                I wonder how the Floydiot's memories can be so short. I mean Floydie's PED scandal broke THIS WEEK.

                    Well, Floyd outboxed Canelo so easily, so the man sure can box. Loved De La Hoya's fights though, very exciting no doubt.

                      Ninja please. Beside Castillo and Corrales and maybe Hatton. The rest were fought at times where the fight was past being good.
