Went from fight of the decade to letdown of a decade real fast there.

For all of us Pacquiao fans, yeah. I watched every round, and Floyd won fairly. He held, and ran, but he did enough to win the fight.
Well, that and new public awareness (thanks NFLPA) about head injuries. No longer considered adorable to be "punch drunk".
there have been exceptions over the years, but for the most part and more so now, boxing is about the heavyweights...one of the biggest reasons the sport is not so popular these days.

Yep. Seems like lots of people out there are commenting today on how the fight was "boring". I have to wonder if they've ever seen Mayweather fight before.
I don't even watch boxing and I knew how this fight was going to go. Boxing is no longer entertaining unless you are a die hard fan. MMA is where it is at if you want to see a fight anymore.

MMA sucks! If I want to watch a couple of men wrestle around on the floor hugging each other, I'll visit Jamie and his van down by the river. Would rather watch traditional kick-boxing or martial art matches, than what's nothing more than a street fight made for TV.
Boxing is still suffering from the damage caused by Don King and the other crooks before him. The Fly & Lightweight fights IMHO are more entertaining than the Heavyweights. They're fast with a ton of punches compared to the HW's that stand in the center of the ring hugging each other. What boxing needs is another "Tyson" phenomena. Pac is nothing more than a money-grabbing sham.
Tyson was one of the best inside fighters in history. One of the only boxers that could floor someone with a six inch hook...
doesn't make him a great inside fighter just meant he had incredible knockout power. To be honest I don't know if Tyson was a great boxer but it seemed to me whenever he got into a boxing match where he couldn't knock the guy out he lost. But my point was everyone watched him for the KO not to see him win a decision.
Boxing blows!! Don't waste your money this fight will go the distance with neither fighter landing any punches for power.
After all I read, you called it for sure!
Of course, I didn't care enough to watch it...
Love boxing too, but they've isolated the sport with lousy matches and pay per view exclusives. I miss USA networks fight night, loved watching that every week when I was younger. I agree with cacman about King, but not about the van part. Never leave DNA IN the van.
Not saying their level is even but there is some good "boxing" not just striking.
6:20 mark, this is what he did to me over and over, super fast dude.
And after seeing Foreman and Tyson loose their marbles. Boxing is more about stamina and points. Everybody is skeered to get hit.

Next up Mayweather vs Foreman..
