    bernard hopkins cheating fight fans by going down like a ***** v robert allan and dawson and feigning injury, robbing hard earned money from boxing fans.

    boxers like james toney, mosley, roy jones pumping their bodies full of steroids in a sport that endangers the lives of their opponents and then they're disgracefull fanboys sweeping the cheating under the carpet as though it never happened.

    JMM not having a "w" against Pacquiao....personaly I think the last two fights were close but JMM should have at least won one of those and have a 1-1-1 record in this thriology..... a 0-1-2 record against pacquiao affects his place in boxing history (not in the present, but in the future...)

    José Luis Castillo has gotten sad too....

    De la Hoya fight against pacquiao is sad also...didn´t show up to fight....

    Very good point about Barrera v Khan.
    Ray Leonard against Terry Norris was like watching your hero getting beat up in the playground.Really left a bad taste.Watching RJJ celebrate going the distance v Tarver as if he'd unified the HW division was sickening too.
    I know a lot of people enjoyed Pacquaio taking Margarito apart but it still felt wrong to me.Bit like DLH with that childlike look on his face before he got stopped.
    There are so many where great champs had that "sickener"
    I watched a documentary about Johnny Owen and I read the book.Probably the saddest boxing story for me,although there's plenty competition.

    I couldn't believe when I read a post in a thread "What do Brits think of Barrera?"
    Someone said "I saw him first v Khan and he was ****" or something to that effect.Khan could win belts all the way to MW and he'll still never be as good as Barrera.Fight is in no way representative of the great warrior he was.

    When Larry Merchant teared up at the end of a broadcast speaking of a fallen friend in Hurricane Katrina, that hit close to home.
    Having a few close friends pass in that ugly storm myself.

    Cotto vs Margarito 1 saddens me, just the way Cotto was slowly beaten to pulp (probably more so in hindsight given the strong possibility Margo's gloves were loaded)

    The look on Morales face at the end of Pacquiao-Morales 3 always got me.
