That knockout by Marquez may have changed him too. Mayweather maybe be a crappy human being, but he is a great Boxer.

No doubt. There's a coorelation where people assume boxing=punching. But boxing is a multi-faceted combination of movement. Arturo Gatti for example, was a great fighter, but he got completely outboxed by Floyd, right along with everyone else over the last 48 of Mayweather's bouts.

Manny was a solid boxer in his own right, really refining himself from power puncher into complete boxer. But he's at the end of his rope. That JMM knockout was really the breaking point, I think.

I think the last boxer that I found interesting was Roy Jones Jr. He was a boxer with the mindset to destroy his competition. One of the few guys I've seen KO guys with body shots.

I loved watching him in his prime. He had raw power.

Fuck that fight, fuck both of those boxers & most of all fuck ALL of their fans. Each and every single one of them. They made the last several days in Las Vegas the worst trip of my life. There is NO hope for America and it's never been more clear than a trip to Vegas filled with TMT fans. I requested a nuke from orbit while I was there but it was denied. Yes it would have been suicide for my wife and I (who were there to renew our vows at the same little chapel we married at 10 years prior) but if you saw what I saw you would understand why the sacrifice was necessary. I've been to Las Vegas a couple of dozen times for several events/occasions & I've never seen anything even close to what I experienced the last four days during this stupid fight. The system has failed and our country is doomed. Period.

I feel for you. Fight weeks are pretty bad in Vegas, but I couldn't imagine experiencing one to that magnitude.

Honestly it was bad enough to ruin Las Vegas for us and there's a pretty solid chance we'll never return. I had planned this trip nearly a decade and we booked it just under a year ago after I recreated the proposal in San Diego (La Jolla) and told her what we'd be doing for our 10th anniversary. I thought it was going to be bad but really had no idea what we were getting into. The idea that there would be tons of people was one we were prepared for. What we weren't prepared for was that that untold number of people would be comprised almost entirely of the biggest piece of shits you can possibly imagine. To call them thugs and hood rats would be a disrespect to thugs and hood rats everywhere. It was disgusting & in all my travels I have never experienced anything like it and words can't even paint the picture of the nightmare we lived the last four days.

I have to hear some stories Jer lol
