    Look it up and learn how to watch a fight. Just cause someone is from the same nation as you and has the same skincolor that doesn't mean that you have to get on your knees for that person.

    I have watched the fight. You clearly saw what you wanted to see.

    I don't remember a single fan or media outlet having Tszyu up.

    I just looked it up, fan scorecards: https://eyeonthering.com/boxing/kostya-tszyu-vs-ricky-hatton

    GTFO man.... Hoya weighed 145 for his fight w/ Manny. What weight class is that genius?? If you can read, and I'm not 100% certain based on this garbage from you, you'd see I said Oscar fought at MW about 8 months before Hatton fought Tszyu. Oscar was out for a bit only to come back to Mayorga at jrMW. Hatton v Oscar was never a realistic possibility.

    I doubt you were keeping up with boxing back then....if so, you'd know what weight class Oscar and manny fought. You clearly didn't. And weren't. Welcome to boxing kiddo.

    Not to mention the absolute state of DLH in the Manny fight. Guy shouldn't have been near 145.

    A lot of these make sense, though the Judah & Ortiz one i would erase, Victor in particular looked so bad before going into that match, it was just another gimme Floyd fight, he was on his way to lose regardless one way or another,

    Could you imagine what Pacquiao would have done with a Ortiz, Berto, Guerrero & Maidana row, yikes!

    Yes him & many many others were & are still okay with that fact,

    Now had that been Manny or another "not from a particular continent" fighter all Hell would have broken loose beginning with the next morning on all the Media talk shows with crying,bitching, moaning using past accusations & then some.

    Not really, plenty of people were pointing out the problems with his opponents and resume as he was fighting. The revisionism came from Floyd fans who liked to act like dominant victories over Corrales and Gatti made the Money boy the best who ever did it. Usually by pointing at his money, without realizing that their credulity and hype is exactly why he made bags despite being a relatively boring fighter who was always cherry-picking name opponents when they were in decline.

    Youre deliberately ignoring the fact that Floyd CHEATED by receiving an ILLEGAL EXCESSIVE 750 ml of saline in his own home & not a medical facility as the NSAC's own rules stated. Neither did he apply for a Tue for the Saline beforehand. Another breach of the NSAC's own rules. He was caught red handed receiving the Saline. Yet when Bob Bennett the head honcho of the NSAC was asked if he was investigating this incident,
    his reply was to issue this ludicrous statement " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong so we will not be investigating" ROFL!!! Then they had the gall to issue him a retroactive TUE covering the illegal saline, 3 weeks later.
    You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why Floyd cheated instead of applying for a TUE do you ?
    It was nothing to do with dehydration at all . Manny was forced to fight in pain while Floyd was allowed to cheat with the Commissions blessing. No nothing wrong at all was there?? The sport is at an all time low due to one thing CORRUPTION!!!!

    EXACTLY They conned Pac into going through with the fight with the promise of a pain killing injection. But sabotaged him by refusing him the shot before the fight because he " hadn't ticked the right box ". Yet they issue a retroactive TUE to Floyd 3 weeks after the fight to cover his butt. C'mon man they must think all boxing fans are idiots. Would you buy a used car from a Commission used car lot ??? I know damned well I wouldnt

    Many times the amount a medical facility would administer for a person with dehydration. a doctor apparently said that anyone needing that amount of saline for dehydration would be in ICU while they fought to safe his kidneys.. Saline is used to flush the system & can mask the use of Peds. Makes you wonder doesn't it
