    No. He's undefeated because he just runs around the ring and curls up...people wonder why no one watches boxing anymore? Fights like this are why. They literally had the chance to bring up a whole generation of people who will say "Man...boxing is exciting to watch." And we just watched two guys hug and run around the ring. Nope....overrated to hell and a big fat steaming pile of s***.

    Well, it went the distance, it was boring, and Mayweather won.

    nobody stands toe to toe and slugs away. mayweather is a defensive champ in boxing... cool. and ppl say hes greatest ever? tyson would punch him out the ****ing ring in 1 slug. and this dumb kid thinks he's better than ali. ****KKKKKKKK SAKE

    ETA: the two mexiacans fighting before the main event were the best fight of the night. 1 guy had less than 2 weeks notice. they didnt give a shit. hands'aflying.

    Well tonight will swing anyone who is on the fence about enjoying boxing to the side of not ever wanting to watch it again. I agree with what Dan Mullen said on twitter "It's a shame this is the best boxing has to offer." Boxing is quickly losing relevancy to UFC, because UFC is actually entertaining to watch. Boxing used to be as popular as UFC.

    That was the first fight I have watched in 10+ years. Fortunately it was the free streaming version. Now I remember why I quit watching. It sucks.

    Haha well in defense of Mayweather (pains me to do that), of course Tyson would kill him; he outweighs him by about 100 pounds.

    There are several problems with boxing:

    1) No real heavyweights (or only one at a time) for two full decades.
    2) Boxers can choose when and who they will fight for themselves. So a fight like this, which could have potentially been something 5 years ago, only happens once Mayweather isn't afraid of losing, and because of that, neither fighter is what they were and it's pointless.
    3) You are rewarded for simply playing defense the entire match. Mayweather is obviously great at it, but you shouldn't gain points by just not being hit.

    All this. The "association" should make matches. It's why ufc is winning. They give fans matches they want. And they gI've points for "ring control" which means ur the agressive guy. Hate mayweather style

    This has been Mayweather's entire career. He just runs his mouth a ton and runs around the ring. He sucks. Him telling everyone he's the greatest forever and him exploiting people's need to see a fighter live a rapstar's lifestyle is all he is. Mayweather showed off his cars to Stephen A. Smith and he's got seven in his garage worth over $15 mill total and his response is that he doesn't even drive them. He's trash. Just wants to flaunt money all day and dance around any tough fight. He only fights when he's guaranteed to win. He isn't the heavyweight division he's 145 lbs of boring flashy trash. Much much much rather spend $100 on Tyson vs Holyfield. Too bad the heavyweight division has been shit since Lennox Lewis retired.
