Final scorecard:


Floyd 120-108, 118-110, 117-111

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Uh huh sure it's over Floyd. We totally believe you. You're totally retiring.

 

[Beefy]

So what are the odds on Amir calling out Mayweather again and gets blanked?

 

[LyleLanley]

He's getting paid an insane amount of money to fight scrubs, there's no way he retires.

 

[Hidden One]

He gonna come back for that 50 and 0..Against some scrub. Hell he can fight me! I'll lay down in 2 seconds for em for some millions.

Yup. I would too. Hell I can't blame any of those who have fought him. They're making some good money for losing.

I'm not sure. He looked really, really fucking bored tonight. He lost his fire.

Well if he actually would box and pick opponents that deserve it then maybe he wouldn't be so fucking bored.

 

[Officerrob]

Floyd needs to drop the "retiring" bullshit, NOBODY is buying it

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm not sure. He looked really, really fucking bored tonight. He lost his fire.

He got paid $32 million to do barely anything. There's no way he doesn't milk that at least once more to get 50-0.

 

[Tekniqs]

wait so we're really gonna act like Floyd was the only one clinching/holding? Berto kept falling and initiating clinches himself....

 

[Hidden One]

Lets see Pac Man vs Mayweather part 2 next year .

 

[ElRenoRaven]

wait so we're really gonna act like Floyd was the only one clinching/holding? Berto kept falling and initiating clinches himself....

Oh no Berto did his share too. That's all the more reason the fight sucked ass. I don't care who it is. Clinching needs to actually be penalized. This isn't MMA. This is fucking boxing.

 

[The Beard]

So what, like 4 - 6 months before he "comes out of retirement"?

 

[Agnt]

So what, like 4 - 6 months before he "comes out of retirement"?

6, he fights every May and September

 

[hodayathink]

He's going to want 50-0 to be a bigger fight than this, whether is Khan, Manny part 2, or someone else. Sure, he got paid $32 million for this, but the bigger the draw, the more money he makes.

Indeed, TBE.

The Return of Floyd Mayweather!!! The marketing will be so stupid.

 

[PR_rambo]

Hate him or Love him, definitely the best of his era, boxing will miss him. If he is finished

But we won't miss him fighting the likes of Andre Berto, or Robert Guerrero.

 

[Officerrob]

The Best of this Era

 

[Beefy]

So Fury vs Klitschko the next big fight? Or have I missed some?

Yup. The sad thing is that Floyd does have talent. He doesn't need to rely on the clinch. Yet he does. I think that's the most frustrating thing honestly.

canelo vs cotto.

 

[Turin]

canelo vs cotto.

True gem of a fight. Everyone should have their eye on it.

berto did a lot of going under to cause it. floyd did a lot this fight, offensive was there more than usual.

Cotto vs. Canelo

 

[abuC]

Floyd is 38 years old, it's only frustrating if you didn't watch him fight when he was younger, when he was much more offensive minded. As he's slowed down he's become more defensive oriented.

 

[PR_rambo]

canelo vs cotto.

This^ This one deserves an OT


Also Lemieux vs Golovkin although the numbers will be average

 

[Zok310]

He's going to want 50-0 to be a bigger fight than this, whether is Khan, Manny part 2, or someone else. Sure, he got paid $32 million for this, but the bigger the draw, the more money he makes.

I see MGM giving him 50 mil to grad open their new arena next year.
He ain't walking away from that.

this

Floyd at 130 to about 140ish was much more willing to throw and exchange. 147/154, he's become much more defensive oriented...can't blame him really. He's maxed out at 147 already IMO.

 

[Beefy]

Cotto vs. Canelo

Fury fight is in October and the Canelo one in November. But yeah the Canelo vs Cotto fight will be far better.

 

[Heel]

Floyd's Showtime contract is fulfilled now. There's no way he doesn't cash in for 50-0.

 

[perineumlick]

Yup. The sad thing is that Floyd does have talent. He doesn't need to rely on the clinch. Yet he does. I think that's the most frustrating thing honestly.

He's old man! People like to think of him as if he still has the same speed and reflexes as in his youth, but that's not the case. You have to adapt as you get older; Hopkins did the same thing. Fighting these young boys you have to pull out all the tricks; you want him to go toe to toe all the damn time?

-Beaten, but the point still stands lol.

 

[pixelation]

TheBoringestEver.

 

[Leunam]

This^ This one deserves an OT

No one knows who they are. But I guess that gives them more of a free pass to come in and shit on a sport they know nothing about but have tons of ideas on how to improve it.

I remember you from the manny fight

Shut it you! T_T

 

[RedAssedApe]

hope he has a street fight next like rocky 5

 

[Skeyser]

Can you really blame Floyd for fighting cans though? Boxing can cause serious brain damage, he has every reasons to want to minimize that.

 

[FTF]

now that'd I'd pay the ppv for

That'd be cool if he wasn't getting paid millions to bamboozle people into paying for his fights.

Fool me once...

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

clinched and ran the whole time.

 

[Eila]

Look forward to the return of Mayweather, this 5 de mayo.
