[Spoiler] Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather

It's funny, if you watch that clip, it looks like Floyd is pushing his neck against his arm when the ref told McGreggor to get his arm off his neck. Floyd certainly didn't cheat or anything that gay, but my god if the dude isn't cheesy as fuck with the way he fights and wins.

I wasn't born during the prime of boxing, so I never really watched it much. But seeing old clips of Mohammad Ali and Mike Tyson is always entertaining and cool. When you watch Floyd it's clear he doesn't really have that level of talent or strength and it makes watching him not as entertaining, and this was probably one of his better matches, tbh.

I think he has less than 5 actual knockouts, not counting TKOs in his 50 fights. He mostly hugs his opponents and gives them lots of love taps so he has a better score at the end. It's effective, and props to the man for getting where he is, he earned his wins, but he doesn't have as much respect as any of the other big boxers and I don't think he deserves as much either.

Maybe other people feel differently though. I care about the way something is done, not just the result. I watch MMA and UFC, but I even have problems with them when some of the fighters try to pull similar shit. There just aren't many stand up fighters these days, and even in a sport like boxing where it's all stand up fighting, you have guys like Floyd who would rather play a game than have a fight. Idk, it's a retarded little rant, that's just how I feel, but grats to Floyd on his win either way.
