    I concur. 8-4 and 9-3 were the most reasonable ways to score it.

    You’re the guy who claims that Floyd pleaded guilty to domestic abuse charges, not because he was guilty, but in order to protect his children.

    Ha!

    There’s no point anybody even discussing Floyd’s career with you.


    Shane didn’t duck Floyd.

    Look at the video.

    He literally said that he wanted a Floyd fight next year. It was only when he was asked “why not this year?” that he said because he may need some dental treatment, and that he wasn’t sure if he’d be out of action for a while.

    You fanatics are something else. You really are. Even on a video where he says that he wanted the fight, you still twist things to claim that he didnt.


    Why did Floyd duck Winky?

    Why did Floyd duck Manny?


    No, Floyd didn’t tax Oscar’s a$$?

    They were level for the first 9 rounds.

    You are delusional.

    You probably have TBE and TMT clothing in your wardrobe.

    Really?

    It doesn’t depend on the circumstances?

    How did Canelo acquire his belts?

    9-3 was a reasonable score?

    I hope that you don’t own a car and have a licence.

    I thought ODLH vs Mayweather was very similar to Whitaker vs Chavez in regards to the scoring.

    The 1st half of both fights were very close, I believe I had it 3-3 after 6 rounds in both fights. Then after that both Whitaker and Mayweather clearly won down the stretch.

    Yes down the stretch is where it counts leading into and the champion rounds. De La Hoya’s faulty gas tank running of petrol and the disparity in skills was his undoing whereas Floyd was the skilled sharpshooter.

    Kind of like Tyson heading into the Spinks fight.

    He actually should have lost to Trout and Lara. He struggled because he struggles period with slick fighters. Exactly why he was dominated by Mayweather. Reason why he stayed away from slick fighters like Andrade at 160. Not because he was green!

    Floyd was an amazing fighter.

    **** Floyd as a person, though.
