    Where the commentator used the expression "What a round!"? Or "This is what we came for"?

    I dont know if a commentator has used that exact expression, however if you are suggesting PBF has not had any great fights then you are crazy. PBF at 135 was all kinds of greatness!!

    130, not 135. I didn't think he looked his best at 135...a could-go-either way fight vs JLC, followed by a clear (but very cautious) win over him, then wins over an average N'dou and Sosa. 130 was Floyd's prime weight and were i thought he looked his absolute best.

    Incidentally, Floyd had one of those "what a round" rounds against N'dou at lightweight...where he was completely outclassing him, then N'dou worked up the courage to let go a double-digit combination with Floyd on the ropes.

    The last 4 or 5 rounds of the Hatton fight were top class.

    Round 8 vs Hatton as well.

    Mayweather has had many rounds like that throughout his career if you have been watching him.

    I remember the chaves jr fight, when mayweather was loading uppercut after uppercut. I remember the lines, "THE CROWD ARE ON THEIR FEET", "GIVING A STANDING OVATION", also remember the Ndou fight with a comment like that.

    watch any of the fights where george foreman was commenting (and he will tell you he does not like mayweather )but george was the most accurate when descibing whats going on, the thing about floyd and also the klits is they do not get into shootouts that are round of the year, or fight of the year. they are very good at defusing a situation and moving out of range when its not to their advantage. but to me the first left hook he hit chico with for the knock down was the fastest single punch i ever seen not by SRL OR RJJ it caught everybody of guard the crowd, the the hbo people, (RIP) Chico everybody thats the same punch he used on marquez its still fast and accurate but not nowhere near when he was at 130

    Tiger woods left because he had a booty call.
