    That is something that has bothered me recently in the chase to find superlatives for cash cows. Consider a hypothetical round where one fighter throws 25 punches blocked, deflected, missed or dodged punches, while the opponent throws none. Who wins that round?

    'X Heavyweight Champion got destroyed by a monstrously strong prison fighter'. This has abounded for decades in different forms.

    I'd heard a rumor, in 2009, that Mayweather wanted to fight Pacquiao, in 2010.

    Turned out to be utter bollocks.

    Yes - big event, but an even bigger anticlimax.
