    Really than what were Robeinson ,Ali ,Duran ,Fraizer ,Tyson doing ? Putting people to sleep like Floyd ? Seems *****s don't understand the sport of boxing ! It's hit and not get hit but also closing the show !

    Not hit not get hit and run !

    Then go watch backyard brawling. Boxing isn't for you.

    You've watched this sport for a while now I take it and you still don't grasp it

    We have no one to blame but ourselves and boxing itself when we allow runners and huggers to thrive.With the current rules a con man like void will be successful.When will the ref pull him up for flat out running,hugging, elbowing,bending below the waist, boxing let's this guy dictates drug testing, even to gloves, allowed to Iv in his crib.

    I think backyard brawls would be more up your alley, not boxing.

    I guess you're happy with a fighter doing a lot more running than actually landing punches then ? this is the ultimate expression of the sweet science after all !
    Far too much not getting hit at the expense of hitting for my taste.

    They were losing fights, fighting multiple rematches, and we're last seen not having a superior technical style and defense like Mayweather

    140 and below Floyd was not boring. But a larger majority of fan boys were 5 years old when Floyd was doing his thing at 130,135 and 140.

    You tell them MVC

    They don't understand the sweet science of running and holding.

    I'm cool with Floyd getting a pass for earning $10-$50 million per fight without engaging much. And with Oscar on his way out and Floyds new found charisma made him a super star. It was the perfect storm that brewed and shot Floyd to star power. I appreciate all that a lot. His defensive skills were also admired by me as long as the clinching was kept to a minimum. But fyuck Andre Ward if he things he can make $20 million per fight just because he beat a few one dimensional shop worn Euro bum (Froch not included, solid win) but the rest of his career and the 2 years to finish the Super Six is just not enough work to consider him an elite A level fighter. I'm sorry but it is what it is!

    the people who understand the worth of money clearly understand that it needs hard work to get it and not just take it like a thief. people pay and continue to watch a promoted hard earned fight but they always get scammed and the corruption is just tolerated.

    Floyd is obviously very highly skilled and I do enjoy watching him as a boxing fan. However I did not rate his performance against Pacquiao.

    MVC can't. He's tired of getting owned by anyone and everyone in the Wilder threads so has had to revert to his old "Floyd is the best ever" material.

    Oscar De La Hoya finds Floyd boring.

    You think you know more about boxing than Oscar De La Hoya, an Olympic medalist, Hall of Fame pro fighter and now promoter?
