    That's cool, but lets stick to the script.
    I've been watching boxing way before Floyd started in the pros.

    Ok, well the script is that I think your criticizing Barrera for something that you would applaud if Floyd had done it, thats all.

    His team may feel that way, but surely JMM cant have too many reservations, he totally schooled pacman in that fight, and there are plenty of people who would agree with that

    I think the problem is, that fighters get pigeon holed as a certain "type" of fighter, hence barrera is deemed a brawler, therefore everyone expects him to brawl, what do people want, a ****ing apology for not getting KTFO!

    Great point. People are just pissed (as someone said in my thread a few weeks ago) that they got ****ed on the PPV. But you can write those letters to HBO, not to the Barrera camp.

    IMO this fight (as with the Winky vs Bernard fight) should have been free. Thats another subject though.

    But really, if you sat down with a beer and watched the fight for free, then went to spend 50$ on something else, I doubt you would care.

    For me, Im just glad I can actually watch these blokes, especially Legends like Barrera and Morales, I sometimes wonder why people follow boxing with all the complaining they do!

    Well your wrong and I don't wish to make this about Floyd. I hate that I always get dragged in to a Floyd debate. Can't we just stick to the topic at hand?

    No problem, and just to clear the record i'm not trying to be harsh on MAB. His s a hall of fame fighter that I have enjoyed for many many years..

    MAB started out good the first two rounds. But then nothing after that. I'd agree in a sense he fought his fight. But he was mainly there to survive and not to win. If he was there to win, it was obviously he needed a knock out [or kds] after the 9th round. Waiting and counter-punching ain't gonna do it in the last rounds if you are trailing by that much. He should have stepped up and fought if he really wanted that win.

    Again, MAB came to survive and not to fight.
