    As soon as the fight was announced I said it was one hell of a ****ing mis-match. JMM was 100% unproven north of 135 in which he fought just twice. 100% cherry pick for Mayweather.

    DLH was doing his job promoting HIS guy, that's what he's PAID to do, he doesn't do it for free.

    Even though that's obvious all fans tend to fall for it(myself included). There's just a lot of emotion in this sport for people to "learn" from such predictions.

    More than 1 million people fall into the hype of Floyd-JMM joke tuneup mismatch fight (I felt relieved that I'm not one of those peeps ;) )... For 2 consecutive weeks, Floyd-JMM joke tuneup mismatched fight was put to shame by other entertaining exciting fights... Klitschko vs. Arreola and Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rogers Mtagwa, just to name a few...

    I can't understand why boxing fans can't still distinguished beforehand what's a joke tuneup mismatch fight... It's very clear Floyd almost had all the advantages... JMM is smaller, older, slower, weaker, lesser skilled, has shorter reach compared to Floyd... Floyd was the heavy 4 to 1 favorite to defeat JMM in the betting odds... It's a clear joke tuneup mismatch fight that's wrongly hyped by the promoters as a "superfight" or "megafight"...

    This is one fault in boxing where many fans still continually support mismatch fights so promoters also continually fed us with joke mismatch fights...
