But about the Mayweather being the new age Ali thing... Not at all. Ali stood for certain principles; Floyd's just boxing's version of 50 Cent. Nowhere near as iconic, nowhere near as significant, nowhere near as great. Please, don't sully Ali's reputation by associating him with Floyd... it's an unforgivable insult to the man and all that he stood for, in a time when taking the positions he did could have well gotten him killed, and did get him banned from boxing for several years while he was yet in his prime. What sacrifices has Floyd made? Exactly... Let's not confuse "great" with "grate".

OK I eat my words, Mayweather was just too good. The ref was a twat but Mayweather's defense does seem to be unbeatable!
I actually feel quite sick about Ricky getting knocked out but he lost to the better fighter, not the better man, but the better fighter!
I only have one handle here, and that is a fact!

I agree, he's not a natural at that wait at all. He struggled with Collazo yet he still stepped up a weight again and fought the best fighter in the world in his own backyard. The guys got balls of steel, did you see the way he kept coming at Mayweather after taking seriosly heavey duty punches. His problem is he's no defense.
