Anyone who thinks that Ramos just stayed down to avoid an ass kicking is a victim of Top Rank syndrome. They're delusional and they have no knowledge of Top Rank's history of bribery and fight fixing. People say that Ortiz and Mosley were fixed fights for Floyd. Both of those fighters were world champions who've worked their whole life to reach that point in their careers. Ramos is a ****ing cab driver who was paid to take a dive.
I'm thinking of Hermit saying about his chest muscles twitchng but I'm also thinking why would anybody even HAVE to fix a fight like that! It doesn't make sense! Fixing fights is risky so why fix one like that?!
If he was gonna be knocked out cold, he would have been out before he hit the canvas. You could see his legs trying to control his fall, then all of a sudden when he safely lands on the canvas, he closes his eyes. Really bad acting, if he wanted to get stopped he should have at least "tried" to get up but stumble. Instead he was like sleeping beauty in there. Obviously the criticism for this fight was that JMM shouldn't fight at WW, Arum wanted to showcase JMM knocking someone the f*** out, Hatton esque so they can say, look, JMM still has the power.
As luck would have it... I actually had a post drafted up & saved in the memo-pad of my smartphone from back when this debate was still relevant but never remembered to check back into whatever thread saw me taking names and educatin' ass and post it... So here goes (dated 7/19/2011)

This is a horrible thread by one of the worst posters in ESB history - yet in a way I'm grateful for it. It draws the scum out of the woodwork. This subject continues to expose the true idiocy, fickleness, and inability to atually assay what they're seeing (rather than just sidle on into the goose-stepping ranks of group-think) of many "boxing fans" in this community. :roll:
Horrible thread? :-( This is a legit question. That KO looked fake. I didn't remember you posting "this is a horrible thread" to "Pacquiao's last fights are fixed.". :huh :-( Does that mean you are agreeing to that thread? Or you just don't mind if it's something negative about Pac?
Know this: I would literally pour my entire savings into the traveling costs and strangle you to death if ever made aware of your identity and location. (and of course would make an attempt to get away with it, but would proudly serve whatever sentencing came about if I did not in case someone actually cared about the sudden absence of your animus in this world - secure in the knowledge that in some small way I'd made it a better place).
Yeah, Pacquiao - Cotto / Clottey / Mosley / Margarito are all fake. Look at their faces. On the other hand, the fakest looking KO ala JMM-Ramos isn't fake. You arsewipe. :rofl
