The fight was 'close' through 9 and then became a clear UD for Floyd after that.
Saying Mosley ducked Mayweather in 1999 is like saying Pacquaio is ducking Juanma Lopez when Pacquaio is on his way to fighting Mayweather....
Again it is unclear and undocumented what actually happened in the negotiations. Only thing known is that PBF wanted $20 Million guarantee which...

Pacquiao has no business fighting at 147 and the fact that he fought Oscar at this weight only goes to show: 1. They were desperate to make the...
It is stunning to me that people have convinced themselves that JMM (a fighter only 1 year removed from fighting at his career weight of 126) is...
