Maybe being brought up on 90's/00's boxing, you expect at least a little bit of ambition instead of turtling the whole fight. He never really took the fight to Manny, winning on points was always the aim. The holding just drives me nuts, the equivilent of holding the ball up in the corner.

I miss fighters like Eubank, Jones Jr, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield f*** me you can easily name about 40 fighters from that era who were amazing value for money. If tactical boxing if your thing then great, I'm not debating his quality as a fighter. But he is Chelsea, he is Pulis, and he does lack that bit of flair and excitement you'd find in many other legends.

I agree but would add that whilst Manny did try, he wasn't himself and can't really complain at the result.

Mayweather is a class act. I enjoyed watching him control the fight. Boxing isnt all about knock outs.

Couldn't agree more Syd. The fight was never going to be any different than it was. Unbelievable performance by Floyd.

I am a boxing fan, but the difference between boxing and football, with football you absolutely love 1 team, so a win is a win. A win that is entertaining is obviously better, but a win is more important than entertainment , to most.
With boxing I watch it to be entertained,as I'm not as bothered who wins as much, I fully appreciate mayweathers ring craft etc, but I'd rather watch froch or khan or someone that has a go and takes a punch to land one.
Kasidis is no where near the level of Floyd, but his fights were blinding, knock downs , incidents etc.
from round 1 last night the out come was pretty obvious.
Full respect to Mayweather for controlling Manny as he did, but at the end they both looked like they could do 12 rounds again. I still think that pac man 5/6 years ago would have had floyd in trouble as he'd have been on him like a rash.
The ring girls were another level yesterday though.

Apt comparison. This fight did huge numbers but realistically was a let down as a super fight. It's no surprise that UFC is more popular with younger people. That's more about the event than the individual or politics.
