      Mayweather was not a fighter.
      He was a jab/clinch/run artist.
      That’s completely different when compared to a boxer who comes to fight.
      Prior to moving up to ww, May had a very respectable ko %. There is not one good thing about losing. No one wants to lose. Guys say they will die in the ring before losing.

      It's called boxing, not fighting.
      The sweet science is how boxing is described.

      If a guy is limited, I guess ''fighting'' is the easiest thing to do.

        that fight immediately reminded me of Sanders/Klitschko

        very similar

        insiders knew that Sanders could fight, just like insiders knew that Ruiz could fight

        the difference is... Vitali rematched Sanders, not Wladimir

            No correlation between losing and greatness.

                    Boxing is a COMBAT SPORT, which literally means fighting dude.
