If you watch enough Boxing you become accustomed to the robberies and bad cards.
Eventually you just expect it and it doesn't surprise you.
It comes with the territory.
Haven't posted in this thread yet since fight night but what a card!!!!
The two obvious highlights for me:
1. Another Oscar worthy performance from Ortiz in his lead role as a QUITTER.
2. All the fights ended by savage stoppage!! I have never seen that happen before on a card top to bottom in my life.
not exactly. did you miss Eddie Chambers-Gerald Washington? lol
It was the slowest of the fights and with the least activity, but there were still some savage shots leading up to the KO, and the KO made up for the rounds they weren't doing much imo.
the fight ended in decision lol
November 2010: Went life and death with Jesus Soto Karass
June 2012: Gets knocked out by Bailey uppercut
August 2014: Loses to 11-2 fighter
Hasn't returned since.
I remember people having him in their sigs and avis. lol
I'm assuming the top 5 is floyd, manny, hopkins, roy, and chavez sr.(no order)
What's bad about that?
Perhaps one of those guys gets left off and Tyson places in the top 5? That's the only surprise I can think of.

this countdown must be a prelude to pac's fight on the 9th. espn will announce him as #1 on the 8th.
I was thinking the same thing. The beginning of each article is a dead giveaway.
Manny Pacquiao, unquestionably one of the best boxers of his generation, says his third meeting with Timothy Bradley Jr. on April 9 will be the final fight of his career. If that's the case, then it's time to assess Pacquiao's place in boxing history.
ESPN asked its panel of boxing experts to rank the top 25 pound-for-pound boxers of the past 25 years. The results will be unveiled over eight days on ESPN.com, Facebook (ESPN Boxing) and Twitter (@ESPNBoxing) and counted down from No. 25 to No. 1, which will be announced on the eve of Pacquiao-Bradley III. Fans can use the hashtag #P4Prank to join the discussion and follow along
Is Pacquiao the No. 1 P4P boxer since 1991? Here is the fighter ranked at No. 4
Dan Rafael: Yes there are a few major surprises that I won't give away but let's just say I am extremely disappointed with how some of the top 5 turned out and dramatically disagree.
I guess after the GGG backlash this guy tried to defend it
Do people still not understand what P4P actually means? It's not a ranking of who accomplished more. Never was. It's about who is better.— Brian Campbell (@BCampbellESPN) March 30, 2016
