Pass, here's the thing
You admit Mayweather ducked fighters (Both did) & say he's a technical fighter.
So essentially he's fighting conservatively against much lesser opponents. How is that watchable
Mayweather is an pure boxer, Pac is a brawler. Unwatchable or not, Mayweather is much more technical of a fighter and is what a boxer should be in many ways.
I'd like to say Mayweather is actually a pretty smart guy, he has an ego, but pure boxers aren't dumbasses. Pac is fun to watch and all, but he's far more predictable and I personally prefer watching Mayweather. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of either.
Can you justify De La Hoya fighting Mayweather at his natural weight and Pac after cutting 10 pounds? He was in no way too big, anybody who said that is an idiot.
Against Cotto, why couldn't he fight Cotto earlier, you know....before the devastating loss?

You're assuming he ducks good fighters and people who could put up a good fight. Oscar had a major advantage at him because he moved up to fight Oscar at his natural weight. Zab was even faster than Mayweather and it was very questionable that he could outbox Zab. Castillo was a favorite, I believe he should have won their first fight.
Mayweather ducks a few fighters who represent threats to his career. Mosely and Cotto were quite capable of injuring him back when they were in the front of the line of challengers.
That being said, he's watchable to me because of how he fights. He is a technically sound boxer, I like watching boxers with fundamental technique. Not like his fights have mostly been 1 sided affairs, he had quite a few close calls.
Fair enough. You've obviously watched (and spent $$$) on many more fights than myself.
Ultimately not even these two guys fighting will save this sport. But not doing so will completely wipe it off the national scene.
Boxing has been dead since RJJ went into decline, imo; I still watch to see if there will be another youngling that will take the reigns (hopefully for middleweight-heavyweight) and make the sport relevant again
Dumbasses are always moving their hands all over the place and dancing around, most of them have really poor balance tbh. Perfect example right here, no way the bigger guy should be taken down by that skinny got flailing his arms around wildly if he had any type of balance:

It's true. "Hood" black dudes can't fight.
Here's another example:
Notice how many times these upstanding young gentlemen need to pull up their shorts. A white man, who tends to wear clothes that fit, would attack at the moment the young man is preoccupied with his shorts.
I had to look up who RJJ was
Roy Jones was my favorite! I could not believe how he went out
EDIT: Actually he had many more fights than I thought
From 49-0 (Hitting downed opponent blah)
- 3 straight loses
- Lost 4 of final 7
- Lost 7 of final 13
Geeeeeeez
Most yal es would get merked in da hood. Go 2 any hood in america there r ninjas that can slap box harder than u punch. Bunch of fakeass internet tuff guys in here more raymond bryce than weebay ...
Contrast those examples with this:
Notice how this white gentlemen's blows are measured, purposeful, and efficient.

Wassup then lil . Get yo punk azz in da ring and come handle biatch.
Real talk. My 15 year old self would wreck 'Lil Chris.
Those were probably a couple ''brothas'' with white masks on
Most entertaining boxer since young Tyson, tbh
Check this one out. "Hood" black in jail, trying to throw his weight around and winds up getting his handed him:
No question about it. Considering how he fought on the edge & took a-lot of gambles to be that entertaining fighter, it's very easy to see why he fell apart when his quickness slowed.
Because before Cottos devasting loss to Margarito, Pacquiao was fighting at 129. Machine is right, your basing your views in hindsight. You just pretty much said that pac should have jumped from 129 to 145 against a bigger opponent.
And everyone and thier moms thought De La Hoya was gonna beat pac down.
RJJ at that point in his career = Jordan on the Wizards, he declined very quickly and there is no shame in it because he had one of the best careers in boxing history.
Not me oscar was overrated, tho he had mad heart. Didn't deserve a statue ask clubber lang...
The Pac hype wagon was in full gear by the time he fought Oscar, people thought this would be Oscar's "Farewell fight" and he would go out with a victory. Realists saw that Oscar was fighting underweight and the days leading up to the fight it was obvious he wasn't in great shape. To the point where he got his ass handed to him by one of his sparring partners.
He could have fought Cotto before that fight, him and Mayweather both ducked Cotto. He wasn't the same fighter after that loss, the knockout took more out of him than people thought.
It's not hindsight when you see a fighter going in the ring out of shape or trying to recover after a bad loss.
there it is again pass1st...hindsight..."DAYS LEADING UP TO THE FIGHT" etc etc etc. All conditions that occured AFTER pacquaio signed the contract. Like i said, noone thought Pacquaio had a chance. Heck the only boxer he fought past 130 was David Diaz.
Anyone who thought that Pac was going to win prior to signing is bull ing.
