    ESPN is a nationalist agenda driven crap of a source.

    Then how do you explain the ring and roach? Stop it. BTW the espn list was composed of a panel of writers and who's your pick for fighter of the era?

    It was entertainment for the Japanese you moron, they love that sort of stuff. And obviously nobody has the money to pay Floyd to lose. Does the fact that there was no weigh in, no judges etc. indicate anything to you? Anybody who thinks that wasn’t a drama performance is an absolute moron.

    Anyone who thinks this was fixed doesn't understand or have any idea of how the fight business works in Japan.

    It depends what you mean by fixed. It was scripted and all the participants knew what it was about. Hence the ridiculous acting, no weigh in, judges etc. Japanese people love over the top shows like that, there’s a reason why freak shows happen over there. To what extent Floyd knew about it and was told is unknown, but we know that he didn’t train for it, was laughing all the time during, and wouldn’t have taken a measly $9 million if the outcome wasn’t guaranteed for him.

    A work which doesn't in anyway get over Tenshin makes no sense at all. If it was a work the fight would of not played out like that. You don't need to work Floyd Mayweather beating tenshin.

    Is it acceptable to go for a first round knockout in an exhibition bout?

    the general consensus is his opponent went hard first, floyd was clearly mucking around up until that point...

    Really? Have you seen the "fight"?. Any other examples of exhibition bouts that have ended by first round knockout?. Didn't De la hoya / Shaq go the distance?

    Furthermore, Tenshin stated several times that he was going to knockout Mayweather, including in an Instagram reply to Conor McGregor
