    By this i mean. Something happened in the sport, and over time has been completedly twisted:

    For example.

    Oscar vs Manny - What actually happened. Oscar couldn't get a superfight at 147 against floyd so offered it to manny for more money than he'd ever seen forsing him to some up 2 , you could even say 3 weight classes. Manny took the risk and pulled off the upset
    What now happened - Manny forced oscar to drain to an uncomfortable wait, cherry picking him.

    Others
    People wanted to see manny fight cotto. Cotto was considered alot bigger than manny, so they settled on a catchweight. Everyone even fans were happy and expected a cotto win. Even for years after the fight considered massive win for manny

    What now apparently happened - Especially since cotto fought floyd cotto was apparently a weight drained shell again cherry picked by cotto,

    Any others you can think off - especially not involving Pac to be preffered.

    Vitaly offering contract to Haye... Now Vitaly has ducked Haye 3 times and will get KOd if he ever faced the fearsome toe snacher

    Martinez vs Pavlik
    What actually happened - A close fight which martinez edged, but was only a round or 2 in it, and hbo crew weren't certain who'd get the decision.

    What History tells us now - Martinez destroyed Pavlik

    Okay, try these


    What actually happened : Chavez Sr broke down Meldrick Taylor over the course of a long tough fight, stopping him in the final round.

    What history remembers : Taylor dominated Chavez for 11 and a half rounds, before a corrupt stoppage for the Mexican.
