    I JUST told you dude.

    Is boxing a sport, or sports entertainment?

    The Nevada Athletic Commission should have a big makevoer on its drug testing procedures, otherwise Mayweather will make one.

    it was ok, i only found one problem, I believe when the fans start talking about PPV buy rates over Punchstat numbers, we should look at ourselves as fans and ask why we cheer who we cheer. the problem with that is that floyd is a cash cow and has the best punch stat of any fighter so where you not talking about him?

    A boxer will land 100% of his punches on a heavy bag, but who wants to watch a boxer hit a heavy bag for 55 dollars?

    what does that have to do with anything, his punch stat numbers have been great thoughout his whole career, so I don't get the heavybag thing, he's going to land a high % against pac so then what

    Yeah, he throws a very high percentage against guys who follow him and don't throw. He hasn't faced a guy who throws a thousand punches a fight. We need to see how he handles a really active bigger guy.

    they all start with that same game plan, but after he hits them with clean counters they stop throwing and just walk in and take a beating. Chico was a volume puncher until he fought floyd, pac will be the same way

    not on the level of Pacquiao or Williams.

    Both of those guys throw punches in bunches the whole fight.

    Corrales was very good and that was, in my opinion, mayweather's best moment in the ring.
    I just don't know why he isn't taking on competition at that level anymore.

    I actually think it's a great idea and they should begin to take drug testing more seriously. The magnitude of this fight make it a perfect forum for starting this policy.

    Sure, now all they need to do is convince the NSAC to bring up their game.

    True but he'll do the same to them, and he will fight both of them, trust me, pac for sure then mosley, and if enough people call for it williams, and if they throw non stop they'll be stopped early

    That is the beauty of prize fighting.
    Styles make fights.
    And everyone wants to see master boxer floyd vs volume punching strong WWs.
