He'll go into the hall of fame but won't be talked about as memorably as most others in there and his fight with Pacquiao will not be remembered as one of the legendary bouts despite it being the richest fight in history.

Very dislikeable character.

Khan can always tell his granchildren how Mayweather avoided him.

Hes been trying to fight berto for years, and berto dropped the ball on each of them occasions - loss vs Ortiz, then the loss vs Guerrero. He's been pretty trash in his last 2-3 fights too. The only saving grace is that this will be a better fight than may/pac because berto will atleast try. Horrible match up though, it shouldve been Khan or Brook

Looking forward to the Groves fight. Best chance he'll get at a world title.

I think he'll do it too. Would have learned a lot from the fights against Froch, and Froch was better than Jack is.

Anthony Joshua/Gary Cornish fight about to start, can be viewed at all the usual disreputable sources, as well as Sky Box Office.

Anthony Joshua/Gary Cornish fight just finished

Didn't last long. They've got to get someone durable. Whyte will get spanked.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

Well that was quick again.

 

[dontcallme]

Clicked on the wrong link and missed the fight.

I think they've got to get someone who can avoid his punches. They tried getting someone durable last time out and that didn't work.

Lame ring entrance.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

I didn't even see the punch for the first knockdown, quick as lightening, but it's the power behind them stumps me.

Going to be hard pressed to find someone who's quick enough to avoid him and have the testicular fortitude to stay up right when the inevitable one does connect.

Joshua could really have an exceptional career ahead of him.

 

[E17yid]

I like Whyte.

Too easy for Anthony, December 12th should be interesting!

He looks good. But there is a massive gulf between the fighters he's up against now and those at the top of the sport. Although heavy weight looks very weak at the moment and has done since lewis retired.

I would blame pac for that not Mayweather. He is a dislikeable character but there is no doubt he is one of the best ever.

They both treated it as a sparring match. They were both there just to pick up their paychecks and not get hurt. One of the worst fights i've seen.

Pac was injured. Even fully fit Mayweather would beat him. Remember the art of boxing is to hit your opponent without getting hit too much yourself. Mayweather does that brilliantly, he has beaten all the best fighters out there.

It still looked like an exhibition fight. Neither tried to hurt the other. I'm not saying mayweather isn't a great boxer, just that that was a shit fight. I paid for it and stayed up to watch it. I will not be doing so for the next one.
The art of boxing is about entertainment. This wasn't.
