    SSM v OSLD II. Their first fight was great example of two highly skilled fighters going at it. Part two was how most movie sequels tend to go...disappointment. Shane's cheating only made that worse.

    Has to be Mayweather/ Pac by far . After " marinating" so long when it finally arrived it was one of boxings biggest let downs . Pac wasnt given a chance from the get go..
    When he went to receive his ,already agreed upon, LEGAL Toradol shot for pain due to a torn rotator cuff. He was refused by the NSAC presumably because he hadnt ticked the right box on the form claiming injury plus he never applied for a TUE, according to the NSAC
    Meanwhile Floyd was caught red handed receiving an ILLEGAL EXCESSIVE 750 ml Saline drip in his own home 24 hours before the fight. Now it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know why Floyd was cheating that way does it??????? Thomas Hauser discovered this & busted him. BUT When the NSAC were asked why werent they looking into this their only reply was " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong so we will not be investigating" ROFL Unbelievable Then to cap it all they issued him a TUE for the saline THREE WEEKS AFTER he was caught receiving it !!!!!!!!
    How come Pac needed to apply for a TUE but Floyd was given a pass & given a TUE three weeks after the fact Doesnt look good for the NSAC's credibility does it ??????? After all that night Floyd broke THREE of the NSAC's own rules. No previous application for a TUE, Excessive amount of Saline administered plus the had the treatment in his own home & NOT a medical facility as the rules state
    If any fight should be called a No Contest its this one. Ive tried asking the State commission, Usada & every one involved not one person has been able to explain how this fiasco happened other than corruption!! I rest my case

    Man, as much as a purist like me could appreciate a fight like that. Man. MAN. Mayweather vs Pacquiao is THE fight.

    HUGE crap, in terms of expectations and delivery.

    Blame Pacquiao, It's not Mayweather's fault that Pacquiao couldn't figured him out and got schooled.

    Blame Pacquaio for Floyd blatantly trying to cover up his juicing??? He CHEATED got caught but the crooked state commission let him get away with it how in the hell is that Pac's fault. A juiced to the gills Froid couldnt beat an injured fighting in pain Manny Pacquaio. Floyd couldnt school anyone he cannot read & write LOL

    Tito--Winky was worse than anyone could've imagined.

    Mayweather v. Pacquiao played out predictably to me and wasn't especially bad. Pac did manage to split the first six before gradually checking out.

    Any Broner fight post Maidana but before it became apparent he'd turned into Kevin Johnson

    i was actually looking to see if you posted on this thread, expecting it to be floyd-pacman...and here you are.
    for someone who dislikes floyd so much, you sure can't stop thinking about him.
    he lives rent-free in your head!

    Every word in that post is 100 % true. The guy is a fake. Take away his "Cheerleaders" Bob Bennett & his NSAC gang. USADA, & Vegas officials making sure he never lost a decision by legal & illegal means. His real record would show several losses & he'd probably have been kicked out of the sport
