    Mayweather came forward fighting like Tyson tonight

    McGregor said he would not take a step back but was running all around the ring. Floyd obviously was hitting him with something that was hurting him..But Floyd should never fight again as he looked his age tonight...cong****, save your money and enjoy life

    Floyd looked like Provodnikov by being flat footed with only a high guard as defense and Conor cant even still land a good punch in that angle.

        Paulie laid it out in an interview before the fight and he was right. When you have an awkward guy in front of you, the way to negate it is to go to the inside. Once floyd did that it was all arm punches from mcgregor and floyd walking him down. Mcgregor never got a chance to reset and his lack of boxing iq showed. No bumping, no tying up, no turning...just pulling back and getting pasted. As soon as mayweather started going forward, the fight was over. This was a mismatch to the highest degree...it just took a few rounds for floyd to feel safe enough to show it.

          Cuz he was getting outboxed. Fair play to him he recognized he had a guy who doesnt have 12 rounds boxing exp or pro boxing exp period but man he was having trouble landing anything before Mcgregor started fading which was expected in a guy who doesnt have boxing stamina

            And he wasn't hurt, he was fatigued. Never went down, never buckled...but Larry will believe what he wants to believe. 49-0 vs 0-0

              Tyson is the G.O.A.T and Floyd knows this. He knew he needed to end his career in spectacular fashion.


              Mike Tyson !!

                Versatility is the name of the game. The ability to adjust is Floyd's greatest asset.

                    Floyd is clearly washed up to those who know his career and his ability. He was stepping forward behind the high guard but offering almost nothing offensively besides some body work and the occasional right hand. Floyd never lost confidence in this fight -- he knew McGregor would gas -- but if McGregor had better conditioning it would have forced Mayweather's hand. Floyd should have been range shooting with his jab early and often against the southpaw to gauge distance but instead an old Floyd elected to circle and read punches from McGregor for the first 4 rounds.

                    Please watch Mayweather vs DeMarcus Corley to see the way a young fresh Floyd gets to the point A LOT quicker.

                    Floyd won me $1500 but this is definitely his last fight. He should try to get a piece of the McGregor-Malignaggi pie as that would garner a LOT of attention and revenue.
