    Why did Sky ditch their Big Fight Special program where they used to borrow HBO pictures??Last one I remember was Margarito/Cintron and Gomez/Cotto card in April 2008 I think-Clinton Woods boxed Tarver same night I believe on Setanta

    Sky really are ****

    The Mayorga fight was something special though. 1 second left on the clock.

    I thought like the comentators belived I was seeing the end of one of my favourite fighters. But the finish made jump up and down shouting so much I woke the whole road up.

    why

    Floyd is one of the most talented boxers tis side of The Fab Four. Why do you want this potential Hall Of Famer **** off from boxing in what could be his prime or near prime years.

    Floyd is the best boxer is boxing today by alot IMO i would love to see him hae afew more fights because he is magical

    I would love to see him fighting legit contenders at 147.I don't really like the fact that he is fighting JMM who only has 2 fights at 135.
    The WW division is still stacked,Cotto/Clottey winner would be an option,Mosley aswell,even PW at whatever weight that'd be made.

    I would agree if he fought in his natural weight class and dropped his drug dealing uncle and dad.

    For me Floyd is a talent wasted. If he would have gone with his uncle Jeff instead Floyd Snr and Roger we could be talking about a guy equal to Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Sadly I fear he has left it too late.

    well, i would like to see Mayweather vs Msley real bad. This would be a classic

    TBH i think Mayweather isnt half as good at WW than at SFW and thats saying something hes still great

    also i wouldnt mind seeing a Pacman Mayweather fight (Pacman will win and i couldnt be arsed writing the winner of hatton-pacman)

    i think it would go to show you how much Mayweather is better than everyone else in his era

    Floyd will never step into the ring with Cotto or Williams (and Williams would get down to 147 for a Floyd fight)

    Mayweather could have made 140 for Hatton the reason why he didn't was that he wanted to mess with his mind, he knew Hatton in his only other at 147 an he exploitated that mental advantage (fair play to him it's the details that make you best in the world.)

    i wish he stayed at SFW he could have becoem best ever there

    i do think Roger is one of the best trainers in the world at the moment and that Jeff isnt as proven but would be a good addition to the Mayweather camp. i think Miguel Diaz was good at that camp but he left before the Corrales fight as he was offered more money to help train Diego.

    i dont think he could ever be as good as SRR and that he has not underachieved really because what hasnt he done

    i dont understand when people say Cotto would beat Mayweather, i just cant see himn doing it

    Cotto boxes in straight lines going forwards, mayweather can exploit that and mayweather will counter punch him to hell, what does Cotto bring to trouble Mayweather. The only thing it can do is further his legacy if Cotto becomes a great at WW.

    A williams fight would be interesting but what does Willims bring to the table

    There were alot of potential fights that didn't materialise throughout his career eg.Freitas,Casamayor,Tszyu(going straight from 130 to 140 to take this which would have been ballsy)
