The Boxing thread

Clearly a Mayweather win. It was in many ways a clinic on how to score points and pick off the opponent. He has to be one of the best counter punchers and defensive fighters of all time and I rate him as one of the most skilled of all time.

Pacquiao is also a great fighter and much celebrated. Mayweather is not liked but anybody with a clear mind can at least appreciate his gifts as a boxer.

Great fight and an end to this saga. Maybe a rematch will ensue.

Hagler v Hearns was a great fight. Leonard V Duran was a great fight. This may have been a brilliant technical display by Mayweather, but it was far from a great fight.
More action in a game of chess.

Nothing to do with it. Mayweather is far superior tonight.
Was certainly superior at running away.

Its boxing, not a pub brawl. Go watch UFC.
Bollocks, all the talent Mayweather has got and he usues it to box like he does. Nullifying boring boxer.
 
Inevitable really, giving his reach advantage coupled with the best defence in boxing. Was like watching the Klitschkos.

How Mayweather rakes in so many viewers is mind boggling.
 
Rubbish spectacle but I suppose the art of boxing is to hit and not be hit. Mayweather, as much as I hate him, is just too good at the not being hit part. Once he has that, he only needs the odd scoring punch. Only way Pacquiao was gonna win was if he knocked him out before round 4. Mayweather started so much better, it was pretty much over then

Mayweather will never be a great in my eyes. Boxing for me is not running away, grabbing the other boxer every 5 seconds and hitting the odd punch. It's effective, it's won him a lot of money and titles but that is not boxing for me.

this.

Exactly - Yawnweather should be his name.

It is definitely on for a rematch cos it will generate another massive pay check, one of the reasons why boxing has lost its appeal is because the guy plays for the money and does not go for the knockout

Wish Manny sparked him out cos that is what yawnweather deserves.
