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.

I agree the DLH Trinidad fight was very exciting, but that was a totally different fight also. However as Venom mentioned that was DLH hit and run tactical victory.
I do actaully like Mayweathers tactics, because I love a very strategic tactical fight and that is exactly what he brought. I would rather two tacticians battle it out then two guys throw for the fences, but that's just me. His strategy works brilliantly so I don't see what's wrong with it, if the opponent cannot break it than it's his loss.
Would I pay $60 for it? No because like you guys I'm not into boxing as much as I used to be plus I get it for free anyways.
I agree with you guys though that boxing is dying, sad to see really. It lost me several years ago to mma and I don't see it regaining strength anytime soon.
That being said, hats off the Mayweather for again proving he is pound for pound the best fighter alive. Titles in five weight classes are you kidding me! That's incredible.
