    Before the DeLaHoya-Pac fight everyone said DeLaHoya was an ******* for picking on the little guy, of course he was gonna whoop Pac's ass. After reality happend and Pac dominated, everyone knew better because they had witnessed the fight with they're own two eyes!!! Just because we thought Mosley was the man to beat for Mayweather and he should step up, we all saw that Mosley fought like an old man with no stamina. Something like he had never fought before. Neither was that impressive of a win for either Pac or May.

    In a historical sense they're the only reference material we have, rankings can be debated in time, and it just so happens in this case I agree with them.

    What other ranking system do you have in mind that we the fans can use for reference material?

    see your punishing the boxers because other boxers couldnt perform at the level they did...thats not fair....nobody is sayig the vicotires should be career definning....but they are SOLID victories and they just didnt win..they DOMINATED HOF'ersand mid level ATG's.....you can not take that away from them.....consider the performance of the fighters...of course...but at what point is it what Floyd and Pac do that makes these fighters look that bad?

    people are all to quickly to dismiss what fighters did in that ring and place it soley on the other fighters performance and not give the credit to the fighter who more than likely had something to do with how bad the other fighter looked.

    i give em both their just due credit....they DOMINATED...thats not easy

    I hear you they do deserve some credit, but if one man doesn't put up a fight, no matter how big his name is, why should the other man get much credit for beating a dead horse??:hey

    Annoyingly, No it probably won't.

    People will look back at Floyd coming out of retirement. And dominating the Number 2 and Number 3 pound for Pound boxers in the world.

    Noone talks about SRL ducking Aaron Pryor, people only remember the victories.

    Fairly certain that history will remember the #2 guy came up two weight classes to fight.

    I hope so, really do. People don't look back at what an amazing display by one of the greatest boxers of all time.

    And a lot of people do think that.

    Alls I got from that fight, was increased respect for Marquez. That guy has so much heart.

    Guess I was wrong looks like 2010 is turning out to be a wonderful year for Floyd lololol. The DEATH SPIRAL. It has only just begun. A death spiral will leave those in it's path with nothing. Earth's way of correcting itself.
    Karma is a *****.
