    There are excuses/circumstances for every well-matched fight. EVERY well-matched fight. Johnson/Jefferies, Dempsey/Tunney, Schmeling/Louis, Louis/Schmeling, Rocky/Charles, ... , Ali/Liston (both), Duran/Leonard, Leonard/Duran, Hearns/Hagler, Hoya/Trinidad, whatever.

    Watch the fights. Form your opinion. Root for your favourite. DON'T base it on the actions of others. [For fun, read Dostoevsky's "Notes from the Underground"; much to say on this topic.]

    Me: I find Floyd annoying. Great, great talent, that annoys the hell out of me. How do I look at it? If JMM wins, a great fighter gets the adulation & money he has long deserved. If Floyd wins, I have a decent shot (but not assured) of seeing a "fight of the decade" with Pac. To me, it's a no-lose deal. I'm just hoping it's an entertaining fight between to of the best fighters on the planet and I pull for JMM as a sentimental favourite fully knowing the probabilites.

    ...... would you give Pac full credit for that???? ..... and what if on top of that the odds are in Pac's favour......??????

    Do you think that DLH fought out of his confort zone????

    How do you do to determine their comfort zone???????

    Well they can fight again after Floyd beats them. Marquez is the tougher fight for Floyd.

    Dude,

    I'll give you one clear example..

    HATTON comfort zone is 140lbs

    PBF comfort zone is 147lbs

    They fought at the comfort zone of PBF at 147lbs. So why give 100% credit for somebody fighting in his own comfort zone.

    NOW, one last example

    JMM's experience.

    He only fought OVER 135lbs 2X on all his ENTIRE CAREER...THEN fight at 144?!

    WTF, why give PBF full credit it's MUCH NEARER his comfort ZONE than JMM's!?!

    Fight should have been only at 141 MAX. In this case both are equally 6 LBS away from his comfort zone. JMM's comfort zone 135 + 6 pounds = 141lbs while PBF 147-6lbs = 141lbs. Thus ideal weigth would have been 141 for me to give FULL CREDIT FOR PBF if he wins!

    Dude, the guy (jmm) will add 8 to 9 lbs from his last figth while pbf will only reduce 3to 4 lbs?!

    OPEN YOUR EYES KID!

    I'm NO JMM fan but I'm more of a boxing fan talking right now! So if JMM pulls an upset it's an AMAZING feat! If pbf WINS! why give him FULL credit! He has all the advantages as explained in my thread.

    Now, if you are a gentleman, could you please answer my questions???? Please do not give me examples..... I am not asking for that.

    Here is my previous post. (quoting myself)

    Void has "his" venue, his referee, his judges, his commentators, his media to protect him and fool the stupid fans. Void knows the fans are stupid, thus he laughs all the way to the bank.

    Many boxers have stupid fans and they count on that.... or I should say they count on them.....

    These so called fans are not really boxing fans....... they are fanatics...

    if PBF fight out of his comfort zone and losses? it depends on how away from his comfort zone?!

    odd's in favor of PAC?!

    it depends on who's talking. I'm a pac fan and I know PAC can win over pbf. I will have a better guage once i see him fight over JMM.

    WHAT if PBF FIGHTS out of his comfort zone and losses. Tell me the weight and I'll tell you the credit his opponent deserves!

    Now, if he fights somebody out of his comfort zone and wins! for example the fight was 135lbs and pbf fights JMM at 135lbs I'll give full credit to PBF coz it's outside his comfort zone.

    Like I said give me a weight and I'll tell you the credit his opponent deserves..

    The fight appears to have been fixed for big money. Void is a disgrace. He needs to fight a welterweight.

    Ok, I'll give you a weight...... DLH at 147 losing against Pac.... do you think DLH fought out of his comfort zone??? Please don't give me more examples just answer the question..... I don't really care if the DLH fans are going to cry or whatever.......

    BTW, I don't think you or me or anybody else could really determine the best weight for a boxer.... we think we know but actually we don't.....

    What weight you think PBF could be out of his comfort zone.???

    Why doesn't Void fight Vitali Klitschko if weight means nothing?

    Because Mayweather doesn't want Quitali to postpone the fight four times because he can't even make it through training camp. :good
