Floyd's only fear is that he may lull people millions of people into a permanent vegetative state.

Ricky I respect your opinion on most things.
This fight is not one of them.
I have watched this fight at least a half dozen times and no matter how I look at it the closest I can score this fight is 8-4 Floyd.

I just think it is your hatred of Floyd that blinds you on this topic
No disrespect intended. I just don't think you can be objective on the subject

I have a hard time believing anyone can watch that fight more than twice. But hey whatever. Some people scored Hopkins over Calzaghe. Some people score Floyd over Pac or Maidana. I guess people just really love hugging, and score every cuddle as if it were a punch.

Thankfully i'm not alone though in trying to score fights for effective agression and punching over running and hugging: http://youtu.be/l1Kij5gLwZY

i think floyd did a great service to boxing by
making a smart, defensive style so popular.
it is a good thing that ring smarts and skills
are on par with punching power and knock
out ratios.

yet i do think it went in a way too far. i had
the fight very close and by far not the shutout
and dominance of floyd so many saw. i think
until ten years ago in any era manny would
have been given the nod or at least a draw.

if floyd was not getting hit this was actually
seen like him scoring and that is simply
absurd. i am not surprised by spanish people
seeing it like that. guess puerto ricans felt
something similar.

it is a pity that the rematch doesn't make
any sense. the fight will be similar in style,
but floyd will win more clearly. defence
rusts slower than offence.

have a feeling its something about Manny's persona where I actually believe he'll time Floyd's bald head even better in fight II. Floyd feels the same

way because why in the world would he not want a Manny vs Floyd II??? He gave Maidana a second fight for only 30million payday its obvious he's

pulling a Sugar Ray vs Hagler bitch move Floyd KNOWS Manny will time that shiny bald head really something nice if they were to fight

again.

The first one was a complete bore fest!! Manny doesn't deserve a rematch full stop.. He made an absolute fortune getting schooled for 12 rounds.. Don't think half the people would watch the second one.. Much less pay for it. People sick of paying to watch floyd cruise through fights to win easily!! Manny would have had to at least Rock floyd once to get a rematch.. And then the shoulder excuse at the end killed any chance of a rematch!

Hey Brut, welcome back. Just can't stay away huh?

Floyd is retired unless he can get an easy mark like McGregor for his 50th.. He's DAMNED sure not to fight Spence, Brook, Porter, or Thurman... He might fight Garcia - outside chance but I doubt it.. He wants another Andre Berto

Manny is SCARED to give Crawford a fight. That's what he was doing fighting Bradley for the 3rd time.

Why would you be scared to rematch a guy that you made a ridiculous payday against and beat easy?

Casual fans can be cancer. They come up with the most hilarious arguments.

Floyd publicly agreed to a rematch before Manny and his team disrespected him by coming up with excuses and not giving credit for the win. After that it was done. Blame Manny. Roach didn't think Manny did enough to win. The end.

Even with his money hat on, and huge ego, Connor McGreggor wouldnt box floyd mayweather. Itd be pointless and embarrassing. MMA and boxing are two completley different sports. Its like thinking a soccer player can play NFL because they both involve a ball, and occasionally you kick it.

What I'm saying is that Manny has already confirmed that he's interested in ONLY a Mayweather II but Floyd doesn't have any interest. Regardless

of what they say about the boring fight it would still do 1.5 PPV for the EVENT ALONE. Mayweather vs Pacquiao II sounds good enough to invite

people over and have a bar b que

They might wind up doing a rematch within the next year or two. Don't expect anything different to happen. Last time Pac said his shoulder was injured, next time he'll say he had the flu or something, but he'll have another excuse and another loss.

Poor efforts

Thank god they wasn't judging the fight!
They must watch so much high class boxing with all their Spanish world champions!
One whole country getting a fight so wrong.. Doesn't say much for Spanish boxing!! Doubt anybody is going to rush to fight in Spain. Not if their any good anyway..

Piss off Brut you loser. I'll recognise every account you make. You stink like a rotten fish.

OMG, "at least half a dozen times?!!" Are you the lovechild of a toll collector and statistician?
