It always impresses me how much the reality distortion field affects Money fans. I bet you also think he didn't duck Manny for years.
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Geoge Foreman's puffy face disagrees with this analysis.
In fairness, that fight was boring as shit until it wasn't.

On the first paragraph.. nope.
On the second... it's Frank Mir breh. His jitz is legit but we're talking about jitz in a division that tops out at 265lbs (not 300). Carwin beat the brakes off Brock in the first in a fight that should've been stopped. Cain beat the brakes off him too and walked away with the win. I'd even argue that Cain is more athletic than Brock as he can rock at the same pace for all 5 rounds.

I know he said both hands, and I think it was both shoulders as well, lol
This fight sold crazy numbers and there are actual national TV fights and stuff.
It isn't what it used to be but it is getting better.

I *do* think that Floyd will go for 50-0.
It's another good business/publicity thing...go 49-0, then starts the waiting.

Larry Holmes was extremely technical and he almost never clinched. It's a shame that the term has taken on negative connotations.
He was making a point saying that he hurts or has minor injuries, but continues and finds a way to win.

Let us take a moment to say goodbye the casual public interest in boxing for a good while.

Just like I said, Pac ain't got shit on Mayweather. Idc if the guy is an asshole, he's the best boxer right now and has been since he entered the pros.
Watching the fight with Pac fans was the best. Talking shit before the fight, shut throughout the fight when they saw pac wasn't landing hits. He was outboxed
48-0

Yes, like I say, most fight fans don't really understand what they are watching.

That doesn't matter overall. If you can't make an entertaining lowest common denominator sport then you face the risk of being boring.

People hate defense in general. They hate technical defensive boxers. They hate Spain's style of soccer. They hate defensive struggles in Football. They hate pitching duels.

People can't have different opinions on what they find entertaining? As long as they acknowledge the technical skill and defensive brilliance they can still find it boring as shit. Doesn't mean the people are casual or uninformed it means they prefer more aggressive fighters. So many couch experts all of a sudden acting like their opinion is the only valid one.

This. Mayweather is a very skilled boxer and there's a good reason why he's undefeated. However, his brand of boxing is very boring.
I like Wladimir Klitschko style better.

*sigh*
Money was more mobile five years ago and Pac was more reckless. The only thing that would have changed is Mayweather would have taken 10 rounds instead of 8.
Mayweather was even faster five years ago, and had legitimate power at the time. Not to mention the fact that Mayweather is well on his way to being 39 years old. Just saying.

Are there fans of any fighter who don't "talk shit?" I want to meet these kind and gentle folks.
I get being let down and finding it boring...but its like people wanted Floyd to go against what works to put on a show...that's stupid.
I like crazy YOLO fights like the next guy but at the end of the day, you should do what gets you a win...and not punched in the face a lot.
If Rocky was real...he'd be dead right now.

Floyd says he will relinquish all belts monday.
Smart move...no money will need to be paid to the governing bodies for his "last" fight (If it truly is his last fight).

The same time elapsed for Mayweather. Pac got his shot and he blew it.
Yes, that was his master plan.

They do athlete and celebrity twiiter reactions to sporting events every single night
Boring, by what standards? In the first round, Ali came out hard and fought George head to head. He only then leaned on the ropes after he had made the point that could he could fight George anyway he wanted. The rest of the night Ali took his opponent to school whilst proving he could take his blows. What made that fight phenomenal was the build up to it. Ali was considered out of his prime, washed up and sure to lose by so many, and he proved them all wrong. His post interview is legendary for that reason alone.

Truth
Yes, but as I said, whos really watching lightweights fight? Lightweights dont bring in the masses in UFC. Who besides hardcore UFC fans know who the current champ (Anjos) is?
May weather is 38. Let that sink in.
