    PBF-Chico Corrales was one of the best fights to watch if you're a fan of boxing at its highest level. There was nothing boring about watching the best exibition of boxing of this era.:deal If you find that boring I suggest you find a new sport because you're not a fan of boxing.

    Clottey-emmanuel pacquiao, a complete shut out, but also the weakest fight of the decade. It was marketed as starring the "best and most exciting" boxer, but the match was a rip off. That's the kind of **** that leaves people disappointed and hurts boxing.

    I can see why even aappreciators of the more scientific side of boxing could find Mayweather Chico boring.

    Chico offered nothing other than power.

    It's so weak anyone can tell that whatever happens in the next 9.5 years won't even come close to it.

    Hopkins-Trinidad was a better exhibition of boxing from this era, because Trinidad was actually throwing punches, being aggressive, and trying to win the fight, and had to be put down by Hopkins. I know that it's not Floyd's fault, but Corrales was weight-drained and fought like a zombie. He hardly threw any punches, not even jabs, despite his size. It is a lot easier to outbox someone who is only surviving in the fight than to outskill and outman a live and dangerous opponent giving his all.

    Hey fanboy, was anyone saying that Pac-Oscar was the finest boxing exhibition of the era???

    Nope! :patsch

    Mayweather-Corrales was a better boxing exhibition than Pac-Oscar, and it was one of the best boxing exhibitions of this era, but personally I prefer Hopkins-Tito.

    Is that OK, or is your vagina still sour due to a perceived slight on the infallible Floydness???
