      Dude, you wanted to talk Floyd all along. Nothing excuses the berto fight. Imagine instead he balls up and fights GGG? Even if he gets blasted, but shows he is a fighter, he would be even more respected as an atg and not the douchebag ******* he is.

      Let it go man. Few people lile Floyd (dull fights, dull personality), you do. Thats fine.

      As for other boxing fans, we enjoy our fighters to actually fight.

      Berto? Please, microcosm of why nobody likes floyd

        Wlad and Lennox went out like OGs, in epic fights.

        Mayweather went out with Berto. Pretty much sums him up. No-one gives a fack about Floyd tonight Larry.

          Wlad left the sport tonight as a legend. Tonight sealed his legacy.

          But all Larry on his mind is Floyd ****ing Mayweather.

            Can't blame ref for stoppage wlad could have took another bomb. But wlad probably could have gone on. He's got up and looked vulnerable and gone on to win before against st Samuel peter

              Wlad getting praise for fighting a top 3 guy when Floyd fought top 3 guys like 15 times or something.

              Who did Vitali fight for his farewell fight? Same thing.

                  The point is, leaving safe vs leaving on your back doesnt diminish your legend. It can do the opposite
                  There's nothing cool about getting knocked out period

                    Maybe, maybe not. What I do know is the HW division, anything can change with one punch and Vlad is experienced enough to get in a clinch or etc.

                    Regardless of fortune telling, bad stoppage. Last flurry was blocked. Maybe that was it for Joshua and Vlad was back in the mix.

                      If one is gonna go down losing then they best go out the way Wlad did, showed a ton of heart and competed well against the much younger man. I hope this is his last fight.
