i don't think anybody needs an excuse. floyd is one of the best technicians of all-time and he was always going to win. conor had a great showing though.

boxing still sucks, i can't get behind a combat sport with so many rules and nuances. is it wrong i prefer watching dudes get beat on until their unconscious?

After all the hype leading up to the bell, and then McG actually winning 4 of the first 5 rounds I think he simply suffered a massive adreniline dump and ran out of gas. I guess having to dance around for 10 three minute rounds is more exhausting than punching, kicking, and gappling for 5 five minute rounds.

He made a good showing of it for the first half of the fight but being a rookie, he simply got out-schooled by the ultimate veteran of the sport.

Floyd will retire with the best undefeated record ever at 50-0, surpassing Rocky Marciano's 49-0.

strongly disagree. he's had the same problem in many of his UFC fights. it's just easier to kill time in MMA than it is boxing. he was trying to use the clinch as a way to regain his energy last night but it just wasn't enough for him to really gain from.

Also as for this unbeaten run, other boxers have got to much higher than 50 and still remained undefeated.

I agree with Lennox Lewis. This should be treated as an exhibition match. It'll always be 49-0 to me.
