    Duran was almost killed by Hearns. Two tyears later he is beating a prime Barkley at 160 and then a split decision with Leonard.

    Lewis got Ko'd twice. No problem. To try and draw a connotation between Hatton, Pac and PBF may lose you money.

    People get knocked out.

    It's boxing.


    Manny is tailor-made for PBF. Especially if he was juicing before his last three fights.

    I find it funny how mayweather is an overwhelming favorite against the #1 p4p fighter yet mayweather is #2 p4p ... how is the p4p champ an underdog in a fight with some1 he shares a weightclass with ... may should be p4p champ "if it all goes according to plan" ..

    Because he is bigger and more natural at the weight.
    He should be the favorite.

    Wrong. It's because Mayweather is the better boxer between the two of them. It's as simple as that.

    whats funny is B-HOP has been tellling any one who will listen for months that its a mismatch that people have been sold the illusion that it will be a competitive fight thats why he was pushing for the Shane fight(outside of the fact that shane is his boy

    no its really because Pac is smaller and less natural at the weight.

    There was a poll asking who would win Tito vs Pacquiao at 147, and almost 70% said Tito would knock Pac out. But I'm sure that most people would agree that pound for pound Pacquiaio is a better fighter in his prime than Tito.

    There's a difference between ranking someone pound for pound as an over all better fighter and at H2H.

    Btw didn't you think he would beat prime Tito and De La Hoya at 147?

    I totally agree that there's a difference.

    I think Pac would win a decision against Oscar who hates southpaws and hates fighters who are faster than him.

    But I think Tito knocks Pac out.

    That's just an excuse ... so was cotto ... cotto was bigger and more naturalbut pac was the favorite ... reguardless of what the excuse is .. they are both ranked in the same weightclass ... and pac has been in the weight class since late 08 ...I could understand why he was an underdog to dhl ... he went up 2 weight classes and he was untested @ the weight ... but he is now a proven welter with couple fights in the weight class... so I'm incredulous to the fact that the p4p #1 is the underdog to anyone he shares a weight class with ... p4p means the best out of every weightclass combined ... how can be be the best yet he is an underdog to a guy in the SAME WEIGHT CLASS ... if he were fighting sergio martinez @ 160 .. I could see the p4p champ being an underdog or p-will @ 154 I could see that too but from 147down no way .. that's why the title of p4p champ belongs to mayweather
