DIdn’t people call for her to be suspended because of one of her scores?

Damn that was just a clinic.

Mayweather fought like he was 30.

Mayweather/Undertaker…Streak vs. Streak…Wrestlemania 30. Lets do this. lol

Someone who didn’t watch it? :wink:

Yeah, that wasn’t really a surprise, though. I think Alvarez did the right thing trying to break Mayweather’s pace, but he wasn’t fighting like he had twenty pounds on Mayweather, and that’s been the key in his closest matches. Mayweather was acting like he was the bigger fighter, Alvarez was letting him do it, and that pretty much sealed his fate.

It’s funny because it seems like everyone who fights Mayweather wants to fight like him, instead of fighting their own fight. I thought Alvarez was going to use his size, but he didn’t, and the times he did, he proved mildly successful, which was a clue as to how to make Mayweather work a bit more/use up stamina, etc.

the guy commentating this fight in the UK said it was probably the same female judge (with the emphasis on the word female) who gave bradley the win over pacman.

edit: Grimmjow316 beat me to it.

We all thought Cotto was going to use his size and bully Mayweather too, and he tried to. It didn’t work. Mayweather actually outboxed him with his back to the ropes. I don’t think it’s as simple as just pushing your weight around, he can defend too well against the close range fighting. And for shots that he can’t defend, he’ll tie you up before you can even get it off.

Kusanagi has it right, only dude got a chance right now is The Undertaker lol.

sums up the fight

*I didn’t know you could be blind and still be a boxing judge. *

Big Show did better than Canelo :frowning:

.

THAT sums up the fight? nah not even. funny moment tho

at one point i was thinking that floyd could’ve tko’d canelo if he really tried.

Money Mayweather’s Punch Out (coming to a Nintendo console near you)

There’s usually a moment like that in every one of Floyd’s late career fights. It typically doesn’t happen. He did have his share of knockouts in the lower weight classes though, so there’s that. Not going to fault him for not KOing people 20+ pounds up on him in the ring, not when he’s this untouchable. Almost makes you forget what a reprehensible human being he is.

Almost.

This fight reminded me of SFxT. Jab for points, win by timeout.

ppffffhahahahah CJ Ross

LOL! goddamn they quick! for those who missed the fight.

It didn’t work, but Cotto probably gave Mayweather the closest fight he’s had since De La Hoya, where, again, size was an issue; it may not have worked so far, but it’s worked better trying to beat Money at his own game. If Canelo had actually used his size a little bit more, he probably still would not have won, but I think he could have at least lost by a split decision.

Official score cards for anyone interested

Dumbass canelo for accepting the fight. IDIOT!!
I would wait at least 1 or 2 yrs before I agree to the catch weight.

Next for Floyd could be Garcia or some other bs opponents. After seeing Garcia fight, I’d be interested to see them 2 go at it. Garcia fights pretty smart, although pisses me off just by watching, but it’s good. That’s how Floyd does it.

Pacman vs Floyd will go down, BET IT! Don’t believe any bullshit ppl say, the fight will happen. The only question is, will pacman still have the footwork n speed when they meet. By the time they meet, it’ll be easy work for Floyd due to their style.

Floyd is a defensive fighter which takes less work to get UD
Pacman relies on his aggressiveness/power. As you get older your aggressiveness and power turn to ass.

which is why the fight will happen and it will be Floyd’s last fight or 2nd to last.

After that, him and the rest of Floyd’s nuthuggers will jump up and down claiming he’s GOAT. Sorry to burst that small bubble of all the Floyd’s nuthuggers, but whether Floyd fights pacman now or 5 years from now and wins, people will always say Floyd waited for Manny to turn into a mummy to fight him.

One side will say Floyd is GOAT, the other side will say Floyd was a cherry picker and ducked pacman while he was on a hot streak. If only Floyd had fought pacman somewhere between 2009-2011 I would put Floyd atleast top 3 GOAT. Floyd woulda beaten pacman or get a close UD, but now the time has passed and the eagle has landed. Whether Floyd chooses to fight pacman or not, his legacy is tarnished.

Before ppl say Pacman refused to drug test and all that shit. It doesn’t matter what Floyd’s fans come up with, Floyd’s legacy is tarnished period. Even if it’s pacman’s fault(bob arum), his legacy is still pissed on.

Why do you think Floyd is being more active than in the past? Because he wants all the fans to forget his past, how he fought once/twice a year then retire. Then came back and self-claimed p#1p. Won, then retire. GOAT don’t do shit like that. He’s trying to make people forget the past and focus on what he’s doing now, which is him being active and fighting so called TOUGH opponents… (guerrero=fights like a fucking tree), (cinnamon=too inexperience. dumbass shoulda known better. lack of experience n agree to catchweight). So who’s the next sucker in line for HARD WORK AND DEDICATION bullshit? LMAO

I don’t see pacman beating Floyd now. Hopefully Pacman proves me wrong.
