Anyone catch this? Im already sick of this kid. The post fight interview Mayweather he is crying saying that he is only gonna fight once more because he isnt appreciated. Pleasssse. How about hanging it up now because i won't miss ya. Merchant said it best tho which made me roar with laughter. He said maybe Mayweather was bored to tears after the fight lol. Gotta love Larry. I knew he was pissed because of what Floyd pulled on him after the fight. Merchant even added that Tiger and Barkley left the fight early, when he said it a week earlier during the fight.

Merchant and HBO is a bunch of ignorant fucks. it's not like Mayweather is NEVER agressive but against Baldomir it's just didn't make any sense. He wasn't going to KO that guy and he was outweighed by 13 pounds or so. Boxing is a sport of hit and don't get hit back. I am shocked that HBO broadcasters don't know the sport better than they do.

mayorga i see your point but cmon man you ever see Taylor run around like this? On one hand he is smart to do this but on the other its sickening to watch. This is like watching Michael Jordan just coast thru games knowing he was gonna get paid anyway. Kinda like Jeter just going up to the plate and striking out and walking back laughing knowing he is gonna get paid anyway. Your trashing the announcers but one of them was Steward. He was also disgusted by Mayweathers performance.
The only reason people were mad at this fight is because either they paid big bucks to see it live or on pay per view. & Mayweather is an ass.
Who cares... He dominated the fight and he doesnt owe anyone anything. If you dont like it them you dont like boxing. It may not be exciting , but his control of the ring is what boxing is about. Brawls make big bucks and make boxing popular. This was a clinic and i repect Mayweather for sticking to his fight and not trying to brawl with mayorga just to please fans and money hungry fight makers. Every fight is not gonna be gotti and ward. Oh yeah didnt mayweather dominate and knock out the most overrated brawler of all time, Gotti. Gotti showed us such great heart when he wouldnt even throw punches because he was scared to get hit.
Everyone loves some gotti becasue he stands there like a man and gets bashed in the head.

If PBF fights Antonio Margarito and WINS, then he is the best. He won't. And rightfully so. If he and DLH fight, do you really think either one will really try to seriously hurt the other? Millions and millions are to be had, and both can laugh all the way to the bank. Margarito doesn't give a shit about getting hurt or not. He will try to take PBF's head off. Not that he even can, but he will try. He is hungry for recognition; the others are hungry for the benjamins. Legacy? Get freakin real. He beat Baldy smart. Why not? Does a running back WANT to get tackled? Maybe PBF is the best without fighting Margarito. I don't know.
if every boxer ran like this the sport of boxing would be history. I didn't pay shit for the fight and both times i saw it it was a terrible thing to watch. Sure he dominated Gotti because he knew gotti was a stiff. Brawl with Mayorga? when did he fight him? You must be a big fan of the show dancing with the stars. Mayweather would take that title to. Im not a big fan of Delahoyas but at least he comes to fight and fought everyone put in front of him. Emanuel Steward didn't like it and im sure he likes boxing.
You and Emannuel stewart are full of shit.
Steward was pissed because Mayweather compared himself to Ray Robinson. He an old timer who doesnt think these new guys compare to older boxers. He aslo trains kermit cintron, whom he would love to get a match against Mayweather.
If Steward were Mayweather's trainer he would have told him to do the same thing, why mix it up with a guy when you have superior BOXING ability. P. Whitaker used to do the same thing, so did M. Ali. Remember the Meldrick Taylor, Julio Ceasar Chavez fight? Taylor was ahead on all cards and just needed to stay away the last round. He decided to mix it up with a dangerous fighter. He got caught and Richard Steele stopped the fight on him. A lesson learned.
It's not a 3 round Toughman competition. Thats for Butterbeans and derelicts who haven't developed any boxing skills.

Emmanuel Steward is big on KO's, however I wonder if he thought Lennox's performance against Tua was disgusting because it was very similiar to Mayweather's. Th other analogies don't quite work. Jeter and Jordan can coast but they wouldn't be the best at what they do. Mayweather can box for 12 rounds, win all 12 and he's still the best.
Lennox was running and dancing away all night? That is funny i didn't notice that. If you said Klitzco against Peters i might give you that but Lennox in no way ran that fight. He dominated it.
....
....
My point is LL kept the fight with Tua at a distance. He threw lots of jabs in a HORRIBLY boring fight. LL, NEVER went for the kill. He was happy just winning from points on the outside. Mayweather basically did the same thing except he didn't lose any rounds like Lewis did and didn't use his jab as much as LL. Still both fighters fought very safe. :nono:

I have no problem with Mayweather's performance
I hate to quote this guy, but Herm Edwards said it best...
"You play to win the game"
Baldomir is naturaly much bigger than Mayweather and like MF said Floyd wasn't knocking this guy out, esp after he hurt his hand early. So why would he stand there and bang with a much bigger guy when that gives his opponent his only chance of winning? If Floyd hadn't hurt his power hand he would've been more agressive and "crowd pleasing". Baldy's head is like a bowling ball, I figured Floyd would hurt his hand at some point in the fight.
DLH outboxed Trinidad for 6 rounds and then ran for 6 rounds to lose the decision. THAT was dancing around and avoiding contact, Floyd was just outboxing the bigger guy from the outside like he should.
The fans were leaving b/c it was a one sided mismatch, not due to Floyd dancing around or being cocky. If Floyd was running and avoiding exchanges...how did he land so many clean punches?
Baldomir had his chances to counter while Floyd was landing at will on him, but he couldn't hit Floyd when he needed to, he's just not skilled enough. Baldy is a B+ fighter, Floyd is by far the best in boxing.

look im not disagreeing with you guys. For him and his career this is the best thing he could do. Ill be honest i haven't seen a lot of Mayweathers fights so maybe he coasted a little in this one compared to others. As a fans point of view this was an awful fight with one guy chasing the other all night except for ten seconds in the eleveth round. I don't know i tend to agree with a guy like Steward who was also disgusted but said it in a polite way. I have seen Emauel in corners for years and i never see him saying "just avoid the guy all night and we take the prize home" Even the Wlad Brock fight he was begging Wlad to stop giving Brock confidence. Lewis/tyson i will never forget him getting in Lewis face screaming for him to basically kill Tyson.
Wlad was much bigger than Brock
Lewis was much bigger than Tyson
In both cases Steward was in the corner of the bigger man who could easily end the fight with one punch. In this case Mayweather was the much smaller man, fighting a guy with a granite chin and a hard head. After Floyd hurt his power hand early in the fight, he was forced to outbox Baldy from the outside. If his hand wasn't hurt, he would've been much more agressive.
You admit that you haven't seen many Mayweather fights so you shouldn't hold judgement on the guy based on one performance with an injured hand.
Floyd went toe to toe with Corrales at 130, Diego is p4p one the biggest punchers in the game and Floyd dropped him like 5 times before stopping him.
Floyd went toe to toe with Castillo at 135, Jose was a very big puncher at 135 and Floyd fought him inside a phonebooth for 24 rounds.
You can't judge a fighter based on one performance, esp when he has an injured hand.

box at no time did anyone know he had an injured hand. He never showed one and never said anything till after the fight and possible a week later. This was in my mind a big pile of bullshit from him to justify his dancing around. You talk about the guy being much bigger like he fought a heavy weight. This is the best fighter allegedly on the planet and he is now gonna run all night? As for Corrales i have never been that impressed by him. and the bigger man scenario you throw out that has nothing to do about a fight(in the heavy weights). I seen Tyson knock out bigger men all the time. Talent and heart wins fights in the heavyweight division not size. If its size then Value is gonna walk right thru everyone. Also i seen a few of Floyd's fights not just one. Again i will say this for the tenth time. Jermaine Taylor no way no shape would do what this kid did this night. Jermaine fought what i thought was one of the best fighters we will ever see (hopkins)and he tried to go after him. That is a champion even tho i thought he lost.
If thats what you want to believe, go right ahead...lol
Monty Barrett has more heart than anyone in the heavyweight division and he's at least twice as talented at Valuev
Barrett landed some decent shots but in the end Valuev tossed him around like a rag doll and stopped him in the 11th
I thought you said talent and heart wins fights in the heavyweight division?
Hilarious

okay in your world
value is the best fighter in the history of boxing. Barret didn't have enough talent. If he was twice as talented he would have knocked him out.
Unbelievable
You said that talent and heart wins heavyweight fights, not size. So I gave you a perfect example of how size can win a heavyweight fight by bringing up Barrett-Valuev. I said that Barrett was much more skilled but Valuev was way too big for him. And now you say that I think Valuev is the best figher in the history of boxing??? WTF?
I said that Valuev was less skilled than Barret and that he won the fight due to his extreme size advantage. How can you turn that into me thinking Valuev is the greatest fighter in the history of boxing???
Btw, Barrett is much more skilled than Valuev...no question. If you really knew boxing...you would already know that.
Barrett hit Valuev with his best right hand several times in the fight, but it had absolutely no effect on the Valuev.
I wonder why?...lol
Sponge you're not even making sence anymore so I refuse to continue wasting my time with this arguement

sponge,
boxlocks & most of the boxing crew here can counter any dumb little argument you have. we're here to discuss boxing and share winners not bicker about pbf. he's the best in boxing right now in my opinion and he did what he needed to do to win. i see nothing wrong with his performance. box said it best when he said why risk getting knocked out when you know you're not going to knock out your opponent and you're going to win a decision, doesn't make sense to go for the ko. if you haven't watched a lot of mayweather's fights than don't act like you're extremely knowledgable

Is that a joke?
Castillo pressed the action for most of the first fight and forced Mayweather to fight on the inside more than he ever has, and Castillo won that fight imo.
The 2nd fight however, Floyd was on his bicycle.
24 rounds in phonebooth...no
