    The day when boxing died. People who never went to a boxing match were curious what the hoopla was all about. They're massively disappointed, "Is this all they got, running and clinching and potshotting and posturing?"

    I could see the look of disappointment in Andre and Stefi's faces.

    Yep. We need a moment of silence.

      pac won that fight. he landed the much cleaner punches. outboxed floyd. very poor decision and cemented a bad precedent for "boxer" types. just survive and you can win on your reputation as long as you dont get clobbered. andre ward has to thank floyd for that precedent.

        Lol seriously, like I said I get why Floyd fans and Pacquiao haters wanna bask forever in the glory of that win, I do get it, but solely from a sport standpoint, it really was a f**king travesty.

        For once the entire eyes of the entire sporting world, from one end of the earth to another, was on boxing. And it ends up being a light sparring session that produced about as much fireworks as watching paint dry in 1080P.

        Career lows for each in landed punches...not a single memorable moment in the entire fight -- outside of maybe the Pacquiao moment when he stunned Floyd and unleashed a barrage of mostly missed and blocked punches.

        I've heard Floyd fans say that the only reason so many people thought it was boring was because Manny was losing -- but that's 100% false. A good fight is a good fight. And a good fight that wasn't. No it was never going to be a firefight, especially with Floyd, but even THAT had to underwhelm the most purist of boxing purists.

        Floyd got the W, credit where credit is due. But that was about as entertaining as damn spelling bee, lmao.

              Herr Gruber is still gloating about Mayweather receiving his gift decision against a past-prime Pacquiao.

              Mayweather avoided him when Pacquiao was at his best.

              Floyd only became interested after he saw Marquez stop Manny.

                So, watching 2 old men that were clearly passed their prime and one of them was knocked out cold was the best thing that ever happened to you guys? Talk about overreaching! AHhahahahahahhaha

                "Worth the wait" The only thing worth in that fight is that we got robbed of that money. It was so dud of a fight that even hardcores were ashamed of that fight.
