I don't know if this has ever happened to you. Have you ever come across a situation where a fighters performance was so poor and was such a favourite that you thought that he must have thrown the fight??
Oscar wasn't exactly the favourite against Mayweather, but to this day I'm still baffled at his decision to abandon the jab that was working so perfectly. Also, I never did take too kindly to his wincing on the floor act against Hopkins. Dude was exerting more energy slamming his fists on the canvas, than trying to get up.
To this day, I still think Oscar threw the Hopkins fight. I don't think he was hurt as bad as he made it seem from that body shot, and went down to avoid a far more embarrassing head-shot KO, because Hopkins was starting to catch up to him, and Oscar was getting winded... ...in fact, I know without a shadow of a doubt that the threw that fight. It's painfully obvious. Even Manny Stewart hinted at it.
throwing a fight is not the same as giving up or not fighting back because you're scared to take a beating. throwing a fight = losing on purpose because that was your plan from the beginning.
:happy Regardless to how good pacquiao is, its just hard for me to accept that you get the opportunity to face the number one ranked fighter in the world and you dont even try and you can miss me with that "thats how he fights" bull****
HOLY ****!!! The guy lands a big right hand on Rahman and falls like it landed on him...............PATHETIC.........I have never seen anything like that.........:tired
maybe pacquiao wouldnt have thrown as much, maybe clottey could have caught pac with something, maybe clot would have lost more respectively. not bashing pac cause he did his job, but i dont trust arum at all. Pac is his cash cow, and even if clot would have tried, he could have possibly exposed a flaw in pac that would have taken away some of his awe. The fact that clottey needs money, I dont see him beating pac at all but could have possibly been paid more to not do anything to expose pac. JMO
