Floyd with another "run away and let my judge friends give me rounds for not trying to fight" win. Floyd Mayweather is the greatest amateur boxer in history (like a Soviet with Bulgarian, Romanian and Ukrainian judges, circa 1970), except doing it in the pros. Credit to his camp for knowing that running away is scored well these days, once again they used that to best advantage.
As I said, best pound for pound boxer, maybe. Not even in the top 100 fighters -- or maybe he is, but he would have to actually fight for me to assess that.

It's the sport of boxing, not the sport of fighting and in the sport of boxing, Mayweather has no peer in his era. If you want someone to box different, make them box different. Floyd made Pacquaio look like an ordinary boxer down the stretch and at times, amateurish. Love him or hate him, 48-0 don't lie.

Oh well, Duke won this year already, so...more of the same!
