    He could've closed the show with a **** but chose to play it safe.

    The best of his era? Absolutely. TBE? Nope.

    I felt sorry for the announcing team who had to temper their comments all night in order to keep their jobs.

    I skipped directly to the opening bell. Did anyone attempt to clarify the IV issue?

      Yes, the IV issue was cleared.

        I think the opposite....the Anti-Floyd people are really salty and bitter!!...it's not a good time to be Anti-Floyd imo....so much animosity is directed towards him for winning!!

          Thanks RadioRaheem. To be honest, Jim Gray could have asked Mr. Bennett on how the commision justified Floyd breaking the WADA protocol that prohibits non-emergency IV procedures during a test period. Because we already knew the contents of the IV solutions to be compliant.

              Little Floyd has cash but is morally broke and bankrupt

              America hates and despises mini kid Felon Floyd. Oscar had Floyd beaten yet gave away the fight coasting the last 5 rounds? Seems fishy as Oscar created this whole Floyd to stardom crap. Floyd has cash but mini little Floyd is morally bankrupt and devoid of real love which leaves the small felon broke, Floyd has cash but Little Mini Floyd is bankrupt and devoid of Love and true friends and just has the trash and tramps hanging around with the 4 ft butts and crack habits.

                Floyd will be remember has good, but too selective in match making

                I love the logic Floyd fans use to excuse away the lack of serious competition for Floyd. As if fighting champions after they've lost their ability means the same as fighting them at their peak. It doesn't, and history will judge it that way.

                Do you Floyd fans wonder why youre the only ones who don't want Mayweather versus GGG. Even basketball players like Michael Carter, news anchors, boxing analysis, all are calling for the fight. The truth is Floyd comes up five pounds, GGG comes down 5 pounds, they are both at around 154.

                If you're honest with yourself, you don't want the fight because there is a possibility Floyd loses, that GGG isn't the type of fighter who would be remotely bothered by Floyd's love tabs.

                Even though you dislike GGG, you should not attempt to deny the easy as hell to see level of skill he possesses. The reason so many fighters are trying to not fight him. Or the ones that do have no business being in the ring with him.

                GGG is a good fighter, it's been easy to see for a long time. Not only the fan friendly knockouts, but his footwork that cuts off the ring and leaves opponents with less room, making him look like he is right in front of you. His use of the jab to gauge distance, distract opponent, and even blunt his opponent's punches. So many times you think he is getting hit, but he isn't, he has redirected it past his head, or taken the sting away from the punch. It's why he has never hit the canvas. His shoulder blocks, and how he uses it to control the other boxer. And the slick slips that make fighters miss. The are not amplified like Floyd's, but he does it well.

                He has good defense for an aggressive type of fighter.

                Floyd tries to cover his face and take body shots against a fighter in physical prime like GGG, no way it works. Floyd knows much of his defense won't work. Hugging GGG all night wouldn't be a good plan.

                I wouldn't think less of Floyd or his fans to just say GGG is too dangerous.

                The weight argument is lame, especially when you follow it by calling for GGG to jump up and fight a LHW in Ward, who wouldn't even come down 4 pounds to meet GGG, but made Dawson come down more to beat him.

                Not to mention the fact Ward's career is crap right now. He's beat one overweight fighter recently. So inactive, and faced such crappy opposition that he was striped of P4P. Who loses P4P like that, Ward does. Ward doesn't have a fan friendly style of fighting, but his real issue is he has no fan base that will draw a fighter like GGG to take that risk.

                Floyd on the other hand is claiming to be the best, not only now, but the best who has ever lived. But he won't take risk that would of showed it. Far too selective in who he fought and when.

                If we're honest, the GGG fight is logical. If Floyd loses, he'd still get a bump in his legacy. If Floyd wins, it will show his love tap, clinching, running style can stump a guy like GGG, in his prime, not 5 years later.

                As Floyd Mayweather fans, why wouldn't you want to see him accomplish this. It's like fighting Manny in 2009, Floyd takes a hit for not doing it.

                You can act as if the Manny in the ring May 2015 was the same we would of seen in 2009, you'd be wrong.

                Floyd could of truly been one of the best ever, but he choose to go the route of the one who makes the most money.

                Don't get mad at us for calling it a spade.

                    There's a rather large argument not too far back that explains why Mayweather was well within the rules, why he did have a medical emergency, and why the retroactive TUE was not preferential treatment. He broke no WADA protocols whatsoever.

                    Mayweather has had a very negative public image for years now. It's not to anyone's long term benefit to blatantly cheat for a guy that no one likes, who also just retired. If Mayweather was cheating, busting him would do nothing but bolster the appeal and credibility of the organization that caught him. Anyone that believes that Mayweather has all of Nevada and USADA in his pocket are full of hate, smoking dust, shooting smack, and/or ******ed.
