  1. Look if you don't like what you say last night then you don't like boxing. Go watch tough man contests

    I honestly did not think the fight got boring until Floyd took it easy the last two rounds. Guerrero was game up until Floyd battered his body... The whole card was good. Rigo//Donaire was not all action and Rigo most def took rounds off and ran at the end. Haters are always going to hate.

    It was nice to see Mayweather back in the ring but the problem with this fight was it wasn't very competitive, that wasnt for a lack of trying by Guerrero its simply a case of Mayweather being to damn good. It was fun for 6 rounds or so but then the whole fight settled into a very predictable pattern, casual fans want to be entertained.

    When is the last time that any fighter landed 60% of their punches on their opponent?

    Dont get people criticising the fight for not being competitive. Only 3 fights in Floyd's career have been competitive(Castillo fights, Cotto). People have had their moments but usually get battered. Just happens Robert had no moments but it happens when facing one of the most skilled operators now in Floyd.

    Actually Spurs of last and this yr have been entertaining. Last yr they were second in 3 pt shooting for instance. Dont forget their 20+ win streak into the playoffs last yr they were on fire. Personally I think Spurs/Warriors will be a great series cant wait. People only sleep on them for their "grind it out, play smart ball" reputation they were known for which like boxing, doesn't get its due like crafty fighters usually dont get theirs either.

    Absolute masterclass from Floyd, joy to watch.

    Anyone who didnt get joy out of watching that boxing clinic isnt a legit fan, simple.

    If anything this showed the opposite. Floyd's legs are still there, but he often had to go to the ropes, either to set traps, stand his ground, or because Cotto pushed him there.
