    exactly.
    you win fights by winning rounds, if you're winning rounds then you're landing more effective punches than your opponent.
    yet pacman was the 'warrior' and he simply couldn't land anything.

    people need to stop blaming the master for the failings of the student.

    Pacquiao vs Hatton. It was great if you wanted Pac to win, but if you wanted Hatton to win,it was an awful Big disappointment.

    Nope. Not all of that is true.
    You are just spewing your oppinions.
    "Real record".... "Kicked out of the sport"...
    Its just BS coming out of your mouth.
    "Floyd couldn't school anyone if he tried to".
    :lol: It's all nonsense.

    Was there some shady **** going on in Vegas? Oh absolutely. But if Floyd and NSAC really were so tight, no way would have Maidana and Alvarez gotten MD's.

    You deal in absolutes and are clearly married to you ideas. It's a bad way to make your arguments and people wont take you seriously.

    I was hoping for a war, along the lines of Trinidad vs Vargas, or Hagler vs Hearns.

    I might have to steal that from you. Real talk there.

    ODLH/Trinidad for sure. What a bummer of a fight and poor decision on top of it, but I didn't even feel bad for Hoya.
    Calzaghe/Lacy. I was so pumped up for this as a potential passing of the torch fight. Whoops.
    Ward/Dawson. As a fan of both fighters, this one was unwatchable. No style chemistry at all.
    Jones/Toney. Masterclass by Roy, Toney was not prepared to compete.
    Ali/Frazier II. Before my time but historically has to rank near the top.
    Hagler/Leonard. Ring was way too large; a fight never broke out.

    My point exactly You admit there were "shady**** " going on but you just accept it & still believe in your cowardly heroes. Two examples one in Vegas...
    1..24 hours before the May/Pac fight May 2 2015 Mayweather was caught receiving an ILLEGAL EXCESSIVE 750 ml saline drip. This news was broken by Thomas Hauser. What was the NSAC reaction??? "Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating" He only broke THREE of the NSAC's own rules on saline drip treatment.
    2.. Nazim Richardson R.I.P. objected to Antonio Margarito's hand wraps as he always did on opponents They were removed & Naz claimed " Plaster Blocks fell from the wraps" No one else saw them. His wrap was confiscated then handed all around the room for people to examine then taken to Mosely's room to be handed round again to be looked at. The CSAC revoked Margarito's licence immediately after the fight on suspicion he'd tried to load his gloves. When an independant lab examines the wraps & pads they were deemed to be HARLMLESS!!!!!! Margarito was still denied a licence to box for almost 2 years on SUSPICION ALONE !! Now tell me boxing is not corrupt

    Boxing is corrupt, no denying that.
    But you believe in every conspiracy. You believe that every fight was already decided before the boxers got to the ring. But it´s not true. And has been proven o be so.
    Not everyone is paid off. Not every fight is a fix.
    Not everything is a controversy.

    And no, they are not my "heroes", If you are talking about Floyd and Canelo. I love to watch them inside the ring, but don´t give to shits about them as people.
