For boxers getting interviewed, "at the end of the day" seems to be used over and over.

Funny and dumb because it's an oxymoron. I know who the fighters are because I watch boxing.

"I don't listen to the radio anymore because I don't know who the new singers (groups) are."

That's as close as I can get.

I hate that saying; is there only one day forever? I hate almost as much as the annoying business speak like; think outside the box, blue sky thinking and in train.

Not sure about worst quote, but this is the worst post fight interview.

He doesn't struggle with southpaws but has to fight with a high guard because the shoulder roll defense is open to lefts. That's why McGregor was stupid to spar Malignaggi in the shoulder roll because he would always be able to hit him there. Also makes me think Malignaggi did that on purpose.

Floyd has really only struggled with Castillo, Maidana, Canelo, De La Hoya and Cotto. Struggled is a too stronger word - didn't beat convincingly.

None of the above are southpaws. Although the latter are left handed, still fight orthodox.

God wouldn't let you go thru anything you can't handle.

If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger.

Floyd clowned Canelo...I felt embarrassed for Alvarez in the second half of the fight.

But no, let's give him 6 fuucking rounds!

Perhaps the scorecards were generous, but I'll have to rewatch the fight to score it. Did he win 4 rounds?

Alright, one. Let's be honest, there was only going to be one winner.

I gave Canelo 2 'nothing' rounds where Floyd did very little, but I think it could've just as easily been scored 12-0. The 116-112 cards were also generous, though 114-114 is ATG bad.

Good luck GGG!

I thought Floyd shut out Canelo myself.

I had the fight very close, 114-113 for Floyd. I gave Judah 4 out of the first 6 rounds, the 12th, plus I credited him for the missed knockdown. The official scores were way off.

I thought Floyd won a hell of a lot more clearly than that. It was only competitive early on. From Round 5 onward it was the Floyd show, and he was beating him up to the point that it looked like he might stop him if it kept up like that. Then Zab hit him low and caused the whole near riot situation that lead to the long delay that broke up Floyd's momentum.

Doesn't matter, The God of War will turn his lights out.

Boxing related, just shows how hard it is for fighters to admit defeat or the possibility that there's someone better, even when trying to show class or respect, it's always "He was the better man on this night." As if every other night, he wouldn't be the better man. Also, "No excuses.. but..".

It doesn't really matter what you all think, because at the end of the day..... (I think Danny Garcia uses/over-uses it the most.)


By the way, some of you are confusing "struggling with" with having closer scores that should have been. The only match I really seen Floyd struggle with was the first Castillo bout. He won the immediate rematch clearly, but ironically closer on the cards. He didn't struggle with DLH, Maidana, Judah, Pac, etc. if you are honest with yourself. Did someone mention Floyd struggling with Canelo? Even in the rounds that Floyd did little, he did far more than Canelo did.
