Fantastic fight.
PBF has gotta be the most relaxed fighter when backed up onto the ropes. His style gives him so much awareness of where the punches are comming from and the way he avoids the punches (head angles, shoulders, elbows) is a display of technical mastery.

Add the offensive work which allowed him to drop a 'durable' 10-stoner, with a combo that would have caught Stevie Wonder's eye, and you have the complete fighter.

Marketable, Watchable (by both Lay and Expert alike) and very very good.

Apparently Floyd spanks Zab in sparring like his daddy.......not sure if that's true or not, but I think I believe it. He is truly an awesome fighter.

I caught the 5.30 showing of it on Sunday, and Corley defintely hurt him in the 4th didn't he?
It really looks like he's fighting out of his weight class at the moment. Shame there's no big fights at 135 for him, because he'd probably break all the records at lightweight if he hung around.

Mayweather v Duran, or Chavez at 135??

Still, who would you pick to beat him at 140? Can't think of ANYONE that would start as favorite at the moment. Might be too fast for even Cotto.

And the Gatti fight looks like a mismatch already.

No wonder Gatti and Hatton would "PREFER" to fight Spaddy first

I didn't know that about Zab and PBF sparring MW, but that is very interesting.

I have to say the level of knowledge by some of you guys on here is quite frightening at times

Here you go, from the excellent Mike Katz:

"Word has it that Zab Judah, who meets ancient Rafael Pineda on the long, dreary Don King pay-per-view undercard this week, walked into the gym last week and had no one to spar with until someone suggested his good buddy, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Word has it that when Mayweather tells Judah after basketball games “you can’t beat me in nothing,” he was certainly telling the truth."

Yep, the camera angles at this point were very very poor, I was shouting at the TV let me see, let me see!!!!
