Sometimes a lot more goes into a fight like this, strategy wise, that most people overlook. I'm in no way shape or form saying that it was a "great" fight but it was a good fight.

I agree with you that the result doesn't determine how good a fight is.
But there has to be more intensity and electricity. De La Hoya's been in many classic fights that have gone the distance. The one with Felix Trinidad "Fight of the Millenium" comes to mind right away. The one with Vargas was great too where De La Hoya wore him down for an 11th round KO.
Do you really like Mayweather's tactics? Is this what you pay money to see? A guy that doesn't jab and doesn't throw combinations? All he does is 1 punch and run and run and run.
It's supposed to be boxing, not dodging.
$60, I hope you got your money's worth.
If boxing continues to reward such boxers, the sport will be dead.
