    yeah, there's one big difference in that. Mayweather gets booed and people left disappointed for the poor showing, while lakers fans left satisfied with the win.

    Holy **** John Ruiz was dreadful to watch. Terrence Cauthen and Cory Spinks also deserve a shout.

    Ruiz. At least Wlad and Hopkins are HOF level fighters so you can at least take solace in the fact that you're watching the best.

    Young Wlad and Hopkins were both offensive machines.

    I say Joe Calzaghe, what a slapping ***, eat that beoche.

    Calzaghe had good power early on in his career. He changed his style and put less into his punches later on because of his brittle injury prone hands.. and he still beat some great fighters despite that! Calzaghe deserves more respect, if he were American I doubt he would get even 10% of the hate that he receives. Hopkins is way more boring than Calzaghe ever was..

    Hopkins for me.
    A man who does more posing than fighting and a man who when the going gets rough, angles himself up, takes a fall, and fakes injury.

    Boring as shat!

    WOW, look at that Hopkins pose and smile. Look at him bring his shoulder to his chin and lateral around.
    WOW, look at him lateral around and pose some more.
    WOW, I'm witnessing greatness!

    I'm bored as **** but I'm witnessing greatness! :nut

    Donito Nonaire.

    He fights like an American. Waits,pot shot, waits for a counter. Doesn't have that warriors mentality...
