    Throwing is one thing but landing is another. Keep in mind Maidana threw the kitchen sink at mayweather in the first fight by throwing 858 punches but only landing 221 (26%). Mayweather thrown 426 and landed 230 (54%). Mayweather still won the fight despite his opponent throwing almost half more punches than him. Mayweather averaging around 46 percent connect rate and limiting opponents to about 16%.

    Yes I know Pacman is a different fighter but Maidana did tried to out work and throw more punches than Mayweather but he still lost. I always believe if Pacman is going to win he has to win by KO since it's going to be very difficult to get a UD/SD win over Mayweather in Vegas.

    I'm not sure what the big fuss is, Marvin was very shallow in his comments, and lacked any detail of who would win and why..

    Again it just fan reading more into things that are not there, especially Pac fans, who seem to need morality boos every 30 mins!

    But why do you think he needs a good slapping? Do him good how? Because he's arrogant? Because he thinks he's the best ever?

    What people also forget, is that Pac is off balance when he throws his shots. If pac misses the first shot he usually stumbles past his opponent ! His combos are only effective if the guys is stationary other then that, he stumble everywhere when throwing punches. .

    Hagler didn't cry like Henry Cooper did Marvin said F You & walked away from the sport they loved. They were both blatantly robbed, Let's see how Floyd reacts if Manny does beat him. Heck he :|:| a storm saying no one liked him on national tv & claimed he'd retired for good when they badgered him about fighting Pacquaio & Margarito At leat Marvin & Henry didn't lie they stayed RETIRED lol

    First of all, Hagler was at the end of a long career and was only fighting once a year by that time anyhow. How much longer did anyone expect him to stay around anyway?

    Second, his loss to Leonard was not a "blatant robbery." That's revisionist bullsh/t. No close fight should ever be called "robbery." We overuse that word to a ridiculous extent.

    No matter how many times you watch the fight it will always be close. Leonard won the fight in my eyes since he pretty much outsmart Hagler in that fight. Leonard knew going to the he had no chance of hurting hagler but what he do was try to outpoint him by using his speed, footwork, ring and so on.
