How do they not know mayweathers weight?

On another note: Mayweather's style, while highly effective, is part of the reason boxing is a dying sport. The clutch-n-weave is part of the reason you just won't truly see a fight. Part of the reason boxing will never gain back the low attention-span of the MMA fan. Either way, congrats to Floyd (and Pacquiao tonight) on cashing in on the slow death of boxing. -
boxing isn't dying. stop it. That's mma fan boy talk. lol
-
I actually still can't believe MMA is legal. Nowhere near close to being a fan of that "sport".
-
boxing will have a vacuum due to it losing a great welterweight class. It isn't dying. Especially since it has all those damn eastern europeans coming up. The fact that euros have some place in the sport, should tell you how much it is dying.

Boxing is dead. When fans wait five years for a prize fight and at the end of the fight neither boxer is bleeding or bruised, you've got a huge problem.
For those of you that like to put down MMA, know that you'll never see anything as uneventful as this fight in any MMA match. Also MMA naturally requires more strategy than boxing (there's more to defend from and attack with). -
I've never understood the boxing fans that have bitterness about MMA. That being said, there have been plenty of high profile MMA fights where one guy went on the defensive and just wrestled humped his way to victory. It's something that comes with point fighting. The sport doesn't matter. I love jujitsu, but the entertainment value difference between a submission match and a point match is huge. Finishers make combat sports. Boxing just needs it's next knockout artist to be huge again.

MMA is not anything I'll ever get into. Just not my thing.
Anyways as far as this fight goes... a few things........ I was going for Pacquiao, even played a small wager on him. I actually bought into that he may go in there hungry and wanting to win. Stupid me for believing that.
If Pacquiao truly believes he won the fight, he needs to have his brain examined. Fact is, when you have multiple rounds where you have only landed 6 punches or less, two rounds he only landed 3... you're not stripping anyone from the belt with that type of performance. Mayweather played a defensive game the whole fight, but honestly even when he had his guard down Pacquiao could not reach him. The guy was a midget facing a giant. Mayweather was giving him hard shots on the head from 3-4 feet away..
This is far from the fight of the century, we are the suckers that bought into it. Both fighters made their 100+ million each, they really had nothing to lose, and even less to gain by getting out of there beaten down. These are rich business men that probably belongs in an office somewhere rather than a ring. They don't have the fight in them anymore.
The Tyson/Lennox Tyson/Holyfield fights had a lot more energy than this bull**** we watched last night. Hearns vs Sugar Ray was a bigger fight..
I have read a lot of reaction from everyone and they're saying Pacquiao won the fight.. I think there must be a world wide vision epidemic. Or they just simply hate Floyd and are talking out of their ***. Pacquiao could not touch him... Maidana gave a better fight... -

and for those saying mayweather ran: mayweather landed 25 percent of his jabs compared to mannys 9. mayweather 48% power punches compared to mannys 27%. Mayweather landed more punches overall.

Great boxers take the opportunities to try to end fights. Mayweather pretty much never even attempts that. -

Mayweather just straight up outclassed manny last night. -
Floyd had one brief moment where he threw combos for about 3 sec and tried to end it. Lampley was acting like we should all be so lucky we even got that.
Floyd has an amazing defense but his lack of aggression and willingness to try end fights is what will keep him from being mentioned with the other greats. -
Uhm... Floyd has aged/slowed down too... He's older than Pacquiao... so that post doesn't make sense. Floyd has declined just as much as Manny. lol

IMO what made boxing back in the day was that anticipation of danger. It's primal or base, but it's also human nature. It's why kids gather in the school yard yelling, "fight...fight". It's why many people watch car races for the crashes. Sure as you learn about a sport you get to appreciate the technique and strategy, but only a small percentage of fans will ever develop that appreciation. For the larger portion of the fan base it's all about those moments of power and aggression. Boxing hasn't had that in a long time and last night didn't do anything to bring that back.

We used to complain that Tyson would knock people out so fast... at least he brought it.,..

He isn't one of the top 25 IMO best ever mainly due to his competition and later on lack of power. His use of the jab is outstanding. People don't like floyd because of his use of fundamentals. It's the same as when you see a fundamentally sound baseball team winning. People hate it because there are no home runs or very few. -

Baseball being incredibly boring and their players being incredibly overpaid is a pretty sound comparison, imo. I don't understand the ridiculous salaries of either sport. -

boxing is engrained in a lot of cultures as is baseball. Hence, why neither will really ever die and they are such huge money makers. -
We are to blame for believing the welterweight class was as big as it really was. Floyd is so much superior than the rest of the class its not even close. We made him so rich by dominating people that cant touch him. We bought into the hype and got scammed.
During the beginning of last nights fight, the time for Manny to win was the first three rounds when Floyd was vulnerable and unsure of what to expect. He looked scared even his father called him out.. Once Floyd realized this is just another Maidana or some other scrub, he took control. He know Manny couldnt reach him.. -
Face it... The welterweight class is just as big as the heavyweight class. There is Klitschko and no one else that can match him.. And theres Floyd vs no one else that can match him either... Time to pull out of the hype and stop tuning in until better talent surfaces..

What the hell was Jimmy Kimmel doing walking out with Manny?
