What people want from this man ( PBFM) is beyond me. The only way DLH was going to win the fight was to fight the way that he did. The only way FM was going to win the fight was to fight the way that he did. Whoevers style worked better would win. And it was FM. FM is won of the rare fighters that you see that doesn't have to get into a slugfest to be exciting. How can you not appreciate his defensive abilities amd footwork. FM is easily a ATG. So is DLH. Don't watch the man watch the fighter. He hasn't ducked any fighter on the way up and deserves the credit.

Apparently, you cannot be a great without having a few wars. Well I don't think Floyd cares too much. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of his blind fans, but his skills are absolutely sublime. I'd rather watch 12 rounds of that than him needlessly catching a myriad of shots just to please the fans.

I guess they're the ones that'll be paying his medical bill like they do with Michael Watson and G-Man McClellan.
