    ****!

    Were you entertained by the fight?

    The bottomline is that!

    Boxers have a responsibility to entertain fans. But you *****s have responsibility on who is getting more PPV, who is the paper WHO's WHO in the division.

    PPV are for the fighter's accountant. If I am the only one who is watching the fight between Margarito and Pac, would I care? Hell no. I rather be in that seat than be with 5,000 watching Mayweather vs. Baldomir. See - entertain.

    Do I count the number of titles pac had? No! I don't care about it. 5 time, 6 time, 8 times, ****.

    When I see a fighter going for a knockout all the time, he gets my respect. If the fighter was planning to outpoint his opponent from the get go, like what Rigondeaux did and most Mayweather fights, then I am out.

    I think the common belief is that OLDH was over 160, in his fight against Floyd. While Floyd has said (if memory serves), and was rumored to be about 149. Although he weighed in at 150, and OLDH 154.

    Do your research before you spew out junk as facts.

    Karzmazin was the #1 rated guy in the division when Floyd and DLH fought. DLH wasnt even ranked in the top 5 in the division according to ring magazine when he fough PBF.

    Mayweather's win was far better, and to be fair it did make him an even bigger star than Manny.

    Oscar is/was much more skilled than Tony, as well. Tony is beast, no doubt. He is also a glutton for punishment, and there to be hit, as well. Anyone with a measure of accuracy will have amazing stats against Tony...for as long as they remain in the fight.

    Floyd's victory required more skill; because, he was in with a more skilled fighter (than Tony), who was completely acclimated to fighting at that weight, and outweighed him significantly. And he dominated him...skill wise.

    Manny's was more exciting...stunning...because, he was in there with a bigger, not notably skilled, man, who outweighed him significantly, whom he dominated and caused a great deal of physical damage to.

    With the odds at 6:1...Manny did what he was supposed to do. And, he did it impressively.

    I don't recall the odds for Floyd v Oscar. But, I doubt they were 6:1, in Floyd's favor. Floyd probably shocked a lot of people with that win though...and it was also impressive, for different reasons than Manny's win over Tony.

    How in the hell was Karmazin ranked ahead of Oscar when he lost to Spinks? Oscar had just come off a win against Mayorga who held a title at 154.:deal Also like I said earlier Winky was the last champ at 154.

    floyd faced someone who has knocked people out without wraps. Pac faced a big ass punching back who hasn't done **** since he was caught with the plaster.
