    Were they impressed with floyd? expected such a performance? Over here in the U.K the sky sports team was amazed with floyd's performance especially the commentators who were in awe!

    The UK Sky Sports team were amazed by Mayweather's performance, but they are all hypocrites who jump on each boxer as they fight...especially Glenn McCrory. He wrote an article the other week stating Mayweather is pretty much a fake...he's pulled a blanket over peoples eyes, and is not as great as people think. He predicted a Mosley win knowing he would get credit for predicting this win if Mosley could pull it off.
    Now he will probably act like he knew Mayweather was going to win all along.
    Over Mayweather and Pacquiao's last 2 bouts each...Mayweather beats Pacquiao...then Pacquiao wins...so now Pacquiao beats Mayweather...and so on.
    They are a joke!!

    Just the way he framed the questions made it seem like Mayweather is some kind of evil tyrant forcing his iron fist onto other.

    "Must pacquiao bend to your will and take the drug tests..."

    In Merchant's last piece outside of the ring after the fight ended everyone in the theater was booing for his AZZ.

    McCrory was running his mouth before the fight but he was quiet after it had finished.

    And he is entitled to be if he wants to be.

    He gave Floyd all his due credit and stated that the victory was most impressive.





    Loved Larry's remark that Floyd was a self made man who worshipped his creator.:D

    Vodka breath Merchant was beinbg a bitter old ****. He hates Floyd and was clearly surly over his domination. Throughout the fight Merchant would not give any credit and tried his best to downplay or taint everything Mayweather did

    This fight should've and could've been made long ago, Shane should've got to wear his Reyes BUT Mayweather does deserve credit.

    Yep. Merchant has an agenda with Floyd. It's embarrassing to watch.

    That was the only comical remark he made. Most of the rest was blind hate. Calling Floyd a "dodger" while he's in the ****ing ring with the guy everyone wanted him to fight... is ******ed.

    he actually gave floyd alot of credit saying that was floyd's defining performance, and that floyd proved that he has it to be one of the best ever. they were really praising floyd last night. i'm not surprised floyd wants to come to england.
