Well I would say that the real ones that have taken the real blow off all this mess were the fans that lost the opportunity to see the mega fight of Pac/May, and just hope this time around it gets done.
In my opinion like I have said for a long time the real blame was on the sides of the promoters Top Rank and GBP for been so stupid to let the negotiations fail, that is there job and failed.
Now as far as as which boxer looked worse in the aftermath, I personally think is Pac or atleast that is my point of view. Floyd played a card and Pac did not play his well. I see how both sides have there points as for cleaning the sport and the other side that if he has never tested positive before bla bla bla.
I think Pac had the worst share and the dominoes fell against him since the he is afraid of needles statement and turning down his biggest payday for blood test.
Anyways I just hope that all the drama will be kept at a minimum and the promoters that were the ones to blame the first time around, I expect they learned there lesson for this time.
I just want to see two great fighters fight for the fans the ones who pay and demand the fight.
Great fight. Props to Khan for a great performance and domination tonight. Props to paulie for the post fight interview, very classy.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just thought to tailgate before the Cotto-Foreman fight. Cant really do it unless its at a stadium.
should be ****in sick. It's gonna rain but who cares
A great Idea and hope the weather works in your favor. Let the best boxer win, the good times roll and the Peroni's never end.
Good article find. I find interesting that even in the site that the article was posted there was some negative feedback stating that it is a lie. Maybe this is just another journalist trying to make a name for himself and just looking like an idiot in the process. Maybe not, I am not in Tampa so... we will see on fight night.
Fight night I will be rooting for Cotto but as always I expect a great fight and may the Best Man Win and let the good times roll and the Peroni's never finish.
Rigondeaux in my opinion is better and more skilled than all his cuban counter parts.
Poll to come.
I agree too but Gamboa is so fun to watch.
Same here. Rigo down the line looks like the better of the bunch but they are all a very good set of boxers. Gamboa is set already for a great career, I wish I could say the same about Solis but the guy needs to get in shape.
There will always be excuses. But my opinion is that Shane was fighting two persons in that ring las night Floyd and himself, and that was his downfall, he got to anxious and frustrated and got hit with great shots.
I fell very glad this fight is happening and hope Funeka goes out there and wins this because It was a a robbery last time around. Will funeka KO him.... I have a feeling this will pretty much play out like last time around going 12 rds but we will have to wait and see.
Funeka will be hungry but Guzman will make his adjustments so that is why I believe the probability of KO was more probable the first time than in this next fight. But I could be wrong.
Ruiz is tough as nails, the guy did not back up, great display of heart, now is a great time to hand the gloves with a lot of pride.
I believe that even Haye was surprised that he kept pushing forward.
Great Vids....... Half way thru I had a feeling that Pavlik is more concern about williams than Martinez. Hopefully that is not the situation here and he said that his concentration is on Martinez so lets see what goes down. This will be a great fight... can't wait.

i think he said the opposite
I know, I said it but let's see how the fight plays out.
Evans is throwing little combos like Pac when in the corner exchanges. That is when he is landing the bulk of his shots, maybe Pac is starting a trend
His short range attack while on the ropes and getting out of the clinch is very good, and lands good power shots in the process.....
hahahaa Martinez keeps on going..... I never thought in paper this would have lasted this long.... but this kid is showing a lot of heart. Burgos is doing a nice job mixing it up a bit and connecting very well.... but somehow I was expecting a bit more with all the teddy hype.
Johnson had a good night.... that Paredes left hook was perfect, Hernandez was walking up to it, in the first round he was tagged with another ... in the second round lights out..... I wish they could do a replay of the Rigo fight
Martinez looks pretty good for only a weeks notice. Burgos has poor footwork IMO
Plus the severe weight shed in short notice..... and that part will start to show now...... the stamina will start to drop ..... but I am impressed with martinez heart to stick in there.....
Good fight for evans...... He looks sharp and made adjustments in the last round and has a great close range attack....
Escamilla was on survival mode but still hanged on and landed nice hooks on the 5th round...
Good fight.
I feel bad for Martinez. He was hanging in there for being a massive underdog. He got rocked at the end.
I have to admit that me too. I maybe wanted him to stay in there or even win because of the masive last minute weight shed he had to go into.
LOL at the 95-95 score card.
Great effort and heart by Martinez and with this lost he gets respect.
Burgos had a tough fight witha guy with nothing to lose and no reverse gear. Very good mixing of punches, maybe the footwork is not that good but the body punching came into work later on.
Great fight.....
