It may have been a nice win for the Pretty Boy, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. but his being the pound-for-pound king was nowhere to be found in his split decision victory against an aging but game Oscar dela Hoya.

What Pretty Boy promised to be a pretty entertaining night of excellent and action-packed boxing show turned out to be a catch-me-if-you-can cat-and-mouse exhibition that didn’t really deserve much of the bucks that the spectators, both those in the arena and in the comforts of their own homes, painstakingly paid for.

What we expected was an explosive bout but all we saw was a forgetable match and a lot of the blame must and should be laid down on the persona who is given the venerable descriptive “pound-for-pound king of boxing”.

Expecting a theater full of excitement and thrill, the audience found themselves in a boring and disappointing lecture room of how to be a good boxer.  Dubbed as “The World Awaits” it turned out to be “A World of Wastes”. 

There has to be a shakeup in the pound-for-pound lists and the major change should be to scrap the name Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in the top spot.
