    The hype for ODLH Mayweather was better than the fight itself so i would not put up with these classics

    idk i thought Morales/Pacquiao I definitely did, and II as well was just as dramatic and brutal.

    but idk i dont think anyone agrees

    People use the excuse that it was better than expected..Still doesnt cut the mustard considering the hype surrounding the bout and the paychecks they received...

    None of mayweathers fights to date have been classic..I quess being soo much better than his opponents is the 1 downfall..

    Who would of thought that could be a downfall.lol

    Was anybody around to witness the first Million dollar fight between flyweights?

    Humberto Chiquita Gonzalez vs Michael Carbajal did not dissapoint, it lived up to the hype and then some!:yep

    Gotta add Gatti-Ward. I'm a huge critic of the acclaim it receives since neither was an elite fighter, but as far as matchmaking goes, it delivered.
