Floyd won, but why are some people saying it was a bad fight? Do you think it was a fair call on who won?

I think it was a fair call but it was a bad fight. I personally watched the fight baldomir did not land more than 10 power punches in 1 round. Thats his way of fighting. But when he got floyd on the ropes he did damage i thought it was closer than wat the judges thought. but mayweather did deserve to win.37-0 not for long............DE LA HOYA yes they did

Since non of the people you requested are answering I'll give you my opinion.\nThis would have been very hard match to call. They were both great fighters, (Coleman still is among the very best - I don't know if you know but he recently beat Mauricio Shogun Rua, hurt him quite badly too), with similar background skills. Both of them were extremely strong, powerful and explosive so no advantages for either one there. I think that Kerr's striking was a bit more advanced but I honestly don't believe that Mark Coleman would keep this fight (or any other fight for that matter standing for too long). In my opinion Coleman's wrestling and his groundwork were just slightly ahead of Kerr's and this would have probably been most important factor. So in the end i see Coleman as a winner by a very close decision or maybe even match ending in a draw.

Pancho - I gotta think about that one. I will add more details later. A damn good question........ I'm leaving the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight off the list, got enough buzz going already. My card consists of one fight that may be already made. Here they are:\n1) Mosley/MayweatherJr.\n2) Castillo/ Hatton (I believe this is scheduled for spring '07)\n3) Calzaghe/Taylor\n4) Wright/Abraham\n5) Pacquiao/Marquez II\nMaybe not the ultimate fight card but matches I'd like to see. I want to see some of those Euros fight here against top rank competition.

Lovely Lady Vette ~\n                               There isn't a reason why he can't knockout Floyd, Floyd's style is tailor made for Oscar, everybody wants to say that "Floyd Sr, training Oscar will be the biggest difference in this fight" and I write to you and everybody else nonsense! Oscar has the one key weapon to beat the tuck and roll style that all the Mayweathers used, the same weapon Julio Cesar Chavez used to dismantle Floyd's Uncle Roger, the left hook.\n\n      When Julio fought Roger, who Floyd fights exactly like it was the left hook that landed and hurt Roger and allowed Julio to go upstairs on Roger. Gilberto Reyes came up with the plan to attack Rogers body at all cost, no matter what Roger threw Julio was to stay on the body and keep throwing his left hook to Rogers liver for the first 5 rounds nothing but BODY, BODY, BODY. Any fighter who tries to stand there and exchange and unload bombs on Floyd's head will lose. He's way too slick for that. The body attack is key here.\n\n   Oscar is a converted Southpaw meaning when he was a little kid his father switched his left handed stance around and made him fight as a right handed fighter all Oscars power is in his left hook. Oscar knows the value of a great body shot, a perfect example would be his fight with Hopkins. Floyd Sr. knows that this is key to beating his son and jumped on the Bandwagon for a estimated 3 million dollars, so he can look like the brain trust and Architect who came up with the plan to beat Floyd when Oscar had the tools all along.\n\n     Thank you for the great question Loverly Lady Vette.

I'm personally a Mayweather fan and based on skills alone and not the fact that Judah is a clown but when he's focus he's dangerous, I think the Mayweather chin is better therefore he'll be able to take more shots.  Judah does have a strong punch, probably stronger than anything Mayweather has face include Castillo.  If Mayweather keeps him in the middle of the ring and not chase him around, then Mayweather wins easly.  I think Judah has to take it to Floyd, make him be on the defense more often during the fight.  It's nice to see a female boxing fan especially one who knows her stuff.  :)

How refreshing to see that some still hold the same belief I do about "traditional" martial arts!\nWould it be a no holds barred match, or include the increasing in numbers rules doled out in UFC matches that limit more "vicious" tactics? I notice those guys like to wear pads on their fists and roll around on the floor with one another...\nI don't hold any disdain against so-called "mixed martial artists", I mean, after all, most traditional systems are mixed in one regard or another, but I dislike the idea that they take bits and pieces of what would otherwise be "whole" systems to become more "well rounded". But I ask how they can take the best of any one system if they have not mastered it?\nTo them, I say they are jacks of all trades, masters of none.\nLittle old Buddha man wins!

1. Obviously the boxers. Do they hate each other? Is there a show within the show? Is there history between the two fighters? Think Tyson vs. Lennox. Vargas vs. ODH. \n2. Two combatants who came to fight. One sided fights then BAM! one punch and the fight is close again. Castillo vs. Corrales comes to mind.\n3. When the announcers hype a fight up so much as "this maybe the fight of the year"---and the fight actually lives up to the potential. Think Hearns vs. Leaonard/PAcquaio vs. Morales\n4. When the fighters are actually fighting by the 'textbook.' That means no holding, flinching, running, and all of that other crap that stalls a great fight. I love him, but he stalls a lot--Hopkins. Who doesn't stall? Think Arce. That kid never stops punching. Exciting EXCITING fights. \n5. If one of your favorite fighters is fighting. I love Sugar Ray; so I bought all of his fights on DVD. I watch them over and over when I have a chance--regardless of opponent.\n6. When a great, older champion is fighting a young lion. Will this be the last fight of so and so? If it is, was it a classic. The last 10 fights for Ali and Chavez, I thought to myself, "Could this be it?" I wanted to take it all in multiple times because this may be the last time I will see them fight.

GSP with a dominant victory over Hughes.  TKO in the 2nd.  It looked like Hughes came in either taking the fight too lightly or with the worst fight plan ever.\n\nGo to Youtube and type in UFC 65.  There's one which shows the whole GSP / Hughes fight.

It should have been a draw. The knockdown in the first round proved to be costly for Collazo. Needless to say, Hatton is still undefeated, but would absolutely get killed by Mayweather, De La Hoya or Cotto. He does put on a good show though.

Mayweather seems to be better at pretty much everything than Zab Judah, so most people are sure he's going to win. But in a couple of hours, I'll let you know.\n\n(Edit) Well, Mayweather won but nowhere near as convincingly as I expected. Judah was able to win the early rounds, landing quick punches past Mayweather's defense. He was even able to knock down the "Pretty Boy" in round two, but the ref didn't see his glove touch the canvas so it wasn't counted. After that, though, things picked up for Mayweather and led him to an unanimous decision victory.

I'm imagining that you are asking this question for the ignorant people out there who think that Gracie won the fight. Well unfortunately, I am not one of them so I will watch the answer sequence and see if one of these people happen to pop up and give some ludicrous answer. I love Royce but he lost. We need to move on.

I've heard experts breakdown the rise and fall---or the demise, rather, of "Iron Mike."  I'm not a true boxing fan, but I was shocked to hear these pundits state that Mike Tyson was a creation of the media.  He was a puncher, not a boxer.  He had tremendous knock-down power and could in fact deliver a punishing blow at any moment.  But the reality was, according to these experts, that he never faced great competition consistently.  When he finally did, he folded.  People turned to other factors contributing to his losses, but the reality of the situation, supposedly, was that he was an incredible puncher who absolutely demolished his weaker competition early-on in his career.  Faced with better boxers, with better fighters, he folded.  That was the basic gist of the radio show I listened to about six months ago.  Fascinating.   So I guess, NO....Tyson would not beat Ali.

HA-ha.\n Winning isn't everything, but losing isn't anything .\n\nNo if that was that goal of the fight, I guess I was not part of the winnings.  But congratulations if you got to share in the glory. Good work Champ.\n\nThis post was worth a smile. So I win too.

I think Tito Ortiz is going to win because from this season of the UFC Ortiz just seemed like he was more determined to be good and win.  While Shamrock took his team to play Ortiz worked with them to get better and there were times when Shamrock's team just watched tapes of Shamrock fight.  Shamrock only wants to beat Ortiz because last time they fought Ortiz won and he wants the black car instead of the yellow.  But I still think Tito is going to win.

Cheerleading for Taylor? I kept hearing him cheerleading for himself (sometimes in the third person), lol.  :D\n\nYou're right, though. He did seem pretty biased in the fight, often giving Taylor credit for punches that Wright blocked. At least it makes watching the fight more interesting because you get to make fun of the commentators while doing so. Sometimes I want to keep Lampley because I think of how much worse it can get (at least he doesn't constantly put fighters down), but yes, there are a lot of other great commentators or former fighters they can get who would be great for the position. Too bad he probably has a fifty-year contract like Larry Merchant.\n\nI'd give the fight to Wright also, but it was close enough that I don't have a major problem with it being called a draw.

Eprometheus ~\n                         In my opinion, not only does Floyd fight like a coward he is a pure coward in his very nature. He fights only fights that he and his camp know that he can win, handpicking limited opposition is not a true Champions way. He gets upset when he's criticized and doesn't look at the criticism as constructive. When Larry merchant was questioning him about his style of fighting Floyd quipped "Why don't you stick to commentating and let me do the fighting." That's Larry's job, it's to give his opinion about the fight and the fighters, but Floyd doesn't like if you're not in agreement with him.\n      A coward beats women, which Floyd has done on several occasions. He beat the mother of three of his children Josie Harris, he beat two woman in Grand Rapids Michigan and two more in Las Vegas where he received a suspended sentence and ordered to take "Impulse - Control Counseling" all of this is a matter of public record.\n     A coward turns down 8 million dollars to fight a up and coming fighter (Margarito) who's hungry and can punch instead of fighting a guy (Baldomir) for two million who he knows hands down he can beat.\n    A coward is what the public sees and knows, this is why  the Mayweather vs Baldomir fight only sold 9,000 seats out of 18,000 seats at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, people that bought general admission seats were allowed to get closer to the ring to make it look like a full house.\n     Yes Eprometheus, Floyd is indeed a coward and it a good to see you noticed along with roughly 9,000 other "Fans".
