    A. Corrales/Canelo
    -The size difference between Floyd and Canelo was Hhhuuuuggge...Floyd controlled space and the pace of the fight...and dominated the ginger.

    B. Gatti/N'dou

    a) Corrales

    b) #1 Castillo 1, #2 Victor Ortiz (I loved watching him spark out that headcase after the headbutt and the attempted glove tap)


    The Gatti fight was awful, not sure why it's on anybody's list for anything other then bad matchups.

    Corrales was a superb exhibition as was N'dou

    The Corley fight was entertaining

    Judah fight was fascinating. It was the first time we'd seen Mayweather in the ring against another slickster, and this was a faster, harder hitting, southpaw slickster to boot. I enjoyed watching the way he adapted his approach after losing the first few rounds

    I wouldn't classify Judah as a slickster, personally... Too defensively stupid to qualify

    More his style , I meant. He's hands down freestyle fluid type style.

    Aside from physical talent, there wasn't much else Judah had. No real fundamentals to his game. It was all speed, reflexes, and power. The fact that he troubled Floyd early indicates to me that PBF would have had serious problems with somebody who actually KNEW how to use their gifts properly.

    thats a simplistic way to look at it. Canelo is a superior fighter to Judah and Fkoyd handled him easily. It was an older Floyd as well. Styles my friend, styles.

    The Augustus fight was for me hands down the best PBF fight in term of excitement. It also showed that he's vulnerable to pressure fighters who are reckless (as was also shown in his fights against Castillo and Maidana)

    How do people rate the fight vs Pacquaio?
    I know to all intents it looked a dull affair and tons of people complained....but from a boxing PoV, it was pretty good?

    He basically shut-out and shut-down a ´not shot´ ATG\HoF´r....

    The Guerrero fight was so bad that there are no words that could describe it.

    Nothing worse than seeing a guy face an overmatched foe and PLAY IT SAFE... :wack:

    Exactly... Guerrero brought nothing to the table, not a shred of danger and Mayweather acted like it was fucking Earnie Shavers in the other corner

    Yup, and that's what's so infuriating about Wlad Klitschko. If you matched him up against a bantamweight I wouldn't be surprised if he'd still look to clinch whenever the opponent got anywhere near.
