Whoa...WTF...how did I miss that?

That is something many fight fans love...it could go back to our primordial blood lust...or primitive savagery,
Looks like Floyd may have lost a tooth from that punch, see something go flying in that gif
Dude was sharp. He really needs to be careful with that pull counter though. Someone's gonna eventually pay attention and knock his ass out...Without completely derailing this thread, allow me to share some opinions on the Mayweather Fight.
(I perfectly understand why Mayweather fights the way he does, playing it safe)
I think Mayweather is perfectly capable of stopping his opponents. I honestly thought he could have stopped Guerrero, he was landing at will and in rounds 9, 10, 11 he had visibly hurt, shaken and completely vunerable.
Same as in his fight with SSM. There was a moment (I think it was the 10th or 11th), he rocked Mosley and his legs almost gave out under him. Why he didn't follow up additional shots was very frustrating.
I think Floyd fought tactically much better than he did in the first fight, but it wasn't one of his best performances.
All he had to do was open up a little in spurts and it would've looked like the Gatti fight. He had Maidana that bewildered. Marcos was taking deep breaths by the 6th. Floyd could've embarrassed him and just chose to hang out for 12 rounds.
The fight was heading in that direction (it was never going to on the level of the Gatti fight, but Floyd was working him early) until he got hurt late in the 3rd. That caused Floyd to fight a little more conservatively, I think. He could have done more, but Maidana is a very dangerous puncher, and was catching him from time to time from odd angles. In the end, we probably shouldn't expect a 37 year old fighter to do much more than win clearly and safely against top competition, but a lot is expected from Floyd.
Floyd Mayweather - boxing's greatest humanitarian.
Give him a Nobel Peace Prize for his commitment to peace and nonviolence (unless it relates to rabbit punching the mother of his children in front of said children.)

Brilliant and worthwhile post.

Only 23,000+ posts and one relates to acknowledging one of my posts.
Blessed.
Anyone else feel like Floyd was fighting with a Roy Jones like style at times?
