    Moving up from 130 to face oscar de la Hoya at 154 is pretty great

    Well, they both moved up from 130 if you're going by that logic

    Just keep trying to drag down the best fighter we've all seen in many many decades, ever for most of us. When one has to spend so much of their time trying to downgrade a true atg, that proves he was far greater than you ever thought he could be

    He made a legitimate point. Don't get defensive.

    It's not a legitimate point when one guy fought in his prime at that weight while the other had never fought there and finished his career with 3 fights at jmw never actually weighing in at the limit. There was also a 20 pound weight difference between the two on fight night

    You're seriously mentally deficient.

    Lets pose a logic question for a moment. If the testers needed blood and urine, yet Fluid was unable to give urine do they let him take an IV which would defeat the point of taking blood and urine in the first place?

    Do you need a brain to realize that taking an IV is in fact a major form of dope masking?

    Hello? Anyone home? It's like the FBI going to catch a serial killer, but yet out of courtesy they give the suspect 10 minutes to clean and disinfect the scene of the crime before questioning him. Yar, that makes a ton of ****ing sense you muppet.

    And then on top of that they give him immunity from anything found during his cleaning. Omg, wow?

    This is the damning bit.

    And he's right, imo.

    Everything you said could be argued. But that's beside my point. If you posted like this instead of calling people idiots because you refuse to consider the point they're making then this terrible thread wouldn't be on its 23rd page.

    No, that's bull****. The saying 'Daring to be great' was first used to describe Roberto Duran. Its been around for a long time. Duran fans started using it to rip the **** out of Mayweather fans and recently it's become a trend on boxing forums.
