Did Mayweather Harm or Help the sport of boxing

[therealpugilist]

Unfortunately I dont think it will be remember for the best fighting the best.

it will be remembered for being the most disappointing anti climatic, highest profile fight in decades... with many question marks like 1) Shoulder doe 2) 5 years too late 3) money it made 4) drug testing fiasco

it was disappointing to the people who though Manny posed a bigger threat....personally I never saw how he could beat Mayweather outside of a Tarver-Jones 2 type one punch ko


the shoulder and 5 years too late are excuses for people who supported manny, on the flip side neutral fans and pro floyd fans dont even bring up the shoulder or when it happened considering mayweather is 2 years older and has had a pro career and near 100 fights in the amatuers.

as far as the drug fiasco....the fiasco came when a guy with tattoos claimed he was scared of needles and the fight didnt happen because fo drug test cut off dates


No matter how you slice it...more people will remember this fight because Manny is an ATG, Floyd is an ATG...were the best of their generation and they fought.


Manny fans will remember it for the things you pointed out...cant always believe the hype...have to use your own eyes and brain and mine told me Manny is great., just cant beat a counterpuncher with his length, speed, adaptiblity and know how. nothing is wrong with that

I am not saying that a lot of that isn't bullsht, i am just saying it will be remembered for other stuff by majority of the world... if it will be remembered at all.

drug fiasco goes both ways... don't forget the way too late approved TUE

Everybody wants to Duck , run, hold and Hold catch weights seem like it's been ruined. We need another Mike Tyson or Julian Jackson not these run and hold mother phuckers

margarito for 8 millino or sharmba and judah for less?

It wasn't Sharmba and Judah for less, it was actually Carlos Baldomir for more. For 8 million and 1.

Just to stick it in Arum's face.

Hurt.

Making the 0 seem more important that it really is, refusing to take risks, using the A-side mentality to get things his way, and none of his fights living up their hype is all is not good for the sport. It doesn't matter how much PPVs he's sold, it doesn't change the fact it was to see Floyd lose, not to see an interesting fight. In the end, his career was all about cheating people out of their money and using it to take advantage of the sport rather than truly doing something great.

This knocks everyone's post out of the ball park.

That's TBE's greatest contribution. Everyone wants to do the same boring style, run, clinch, run... Hit and not get hit doe. That's why thousands are flocking to see him lose and end such rip-off style of boxing get destroyed. Unfortunately, the judges, ref, not to mention USADA, are all in this ****** science of nonsense to make them look "I'm boxing fan doe."

Exactly,

That is his legacy, run, punch, hold

Vagina boxing at it's brightest.

Now everyone wants to exploit the flawed system of scoring.
