All this talk of "Chad held his own in the ring" or "Paul went the distance with Mayweather" that you see on social media is asinine. If Maxwell wanted to drop Chad in the first, he would have. He let him know that much in round 4. Mayweather literally held up a knocked out Paul.

Power to all of them. They made boatloads of money for minutes of glorified sparring on PPV. But take as much stock in Chad's prowess as a fighter from this fight as you do from him hitting his ex-wife.


I thought the same of Mayweather when he became more concerned about protecting his unblemished record than fighting actual contenders. 

But now being retired from real boxing? Go get that money. The guy just took home 30+ million to carry a guy eight rounds. I can't hate 'em for that.

It's not official, but shit like this blemishes Floyd as much as any loss to a contender later in his career would have. I liked Floyd at the Atlanta Olympics, but he was boring as a pro... Yet and still the man was a defensive fighting genius, and has to be considered one of the all time greats. This kind of thing just disrespects the sport (though it's already dying) that made him a very wealthy man. It's nothing to lose sleep over, it's just lame. Very 2021, influencer, likes, and shallow. Next time let Tyson's broke ass fight one of these clowns and actually break an orbital or something.
