Standing behind the maxim that Mayweather is the best boxer in the world is to say that boxing is a shit sport. It's like saying Paula Deen is the world master of cooking with butter.

There's 'the sweet science' then there's what Mayweather does. He is the equivalent of an NBA team drafting the tallest man in the world, then getting the ball to him and him holding it out of everyone else's reach for the rest of the game.

I understood exactly what Floyd was doing after about 3 rounds, but I'm never going to like or appreciate that. He was basically point-fighting, and maximizing his chance to win rounds/not lose rounds rather than hurt his opponent.
At least with the "boring" parts of MMA you can slowly and eventually learn to appreciate what they are doing because in the back of your head you know that if they can just work their way to a dominant position then they'll really be able to do something cool to hurt their opponent, so knowing that I'm fine with watching them struggle most of the round and never quite get there. (sometimes you do get guys who just wrestle and don't JJ or ground strike at all, and those matches do suck)

I grew up on those fights in the 80's, closing out with iron Mike in the early 90's. Then boxing died for me. Now the biggest thing they can trot out is that shit last night where some little boy sized man plays patty cake with a just slightly larger guy playing hide and seek. No wonder the sweet science has given way to the idiocracy of the mma.

Boxing fans defending this shit remind me a little of soccer fans.
"You don't get the technical aspects, the nuance." I just want to be entertained. That was not entertaining. |

I tell you what, you watch some of this season's Barcelona team, in HD, and tell me it's not exciting, and you'll get a personal forever pass from me on soccer.
