Fury built up a huge lead and won the fight a clear 114-113. On top of that, why is he getting counted when he never went down? He was just being elusive. Poor ref.
It was a close fight and fury could've won if he didn't give us the most accurate display of a human pinball machine in that round. Many refs would've stopped the fight earlier.
Bring on October. They can both review the fight and make adjustments. Either way, it's going to be a cracker!
I don't need to pick a side. The boxing fans won tonight.
Come October, may the best man win. Either way, it's going to be a cracker!
Zhang vs Joyce was the worst cherry pick gone wrong.
Joyce had to fought him twice and got bashed twice. 2nd time in a KO of the year that will live forever in highlight reeels
In hindsight, a bad choice to cherrypick a guy with a nickname "Big Bang"
Yup all garcia had was that lucky big hook that connected, khan woulda knocked him out within 2 rounds max it it continued his way.
Garcia is a poor fighter. If you rewatch khan vs garcia, khan was using him as a punching bag for most of the first 3 rounds.
Even when khan was unsteady the guy couldn't even land punches on khan for most of round 4 even throwing wild haymakers.
Khan still doesn't have great defense but he wasn't made as a defensive fighter but im sure in a rematch he will destroy garcia just like lewis destroyed rahman
We know he has 1 punch KO power but else does he have to his arsenal? He doesn't have the fastest foot or hand speed, he's got pretty good timing and feints but certainly not the greatest in history, he seems to just be overpowering guys with his above average skills and his deadly power, is there more to his story
Great white hope :)
and yes, i know he is mexican.
Could be another Jeff Lacy. We all know what happened to the american hype when undefeated calzaghe showed him who was boss..then RJJ and bernard hopkins :)
Hard to get beat when floyd fights once a year vs much weaker opposition than he is.
He won't fight pacman or JMM without a weight clause.
Mayweather is a criminal and a joke.
Lmfao! You cant make this **** up!
No you can't.
When fans will be watching the four fights 10 years from now, nobody will watch floyd vs JMM in which....
"Because Marquez had never before fought above 135 lbs and had fought at 130 lbs as recently as March 2008, while Mayweather had campaigned at 147 lbs since 2005, the fight was scheduled to take place at a catchweight of 144 lbs to account for the size disparity between the two fighters. "
Well , I agree with you about Marquez's and Floyd's reputation, I don't see how on Earth this helps Manny.
It doesn't help manny's rep short term but in the long term it will, trust me.
This is hilarious. In what world does getting knocked the f**k out enhance one's legacy? So was Paul Williams' and Hatton's legacies enhanced when they got knocked the f**k out also? Or does that idiot logic only apply to Manny?
Look Floyd had nothing to do with what happened last night. Let JMM get his time to shine. He finally got his much deserved victory over his rival in great fashion.
Because floyd ducked pacman yet pacman always fought everybody and so did JMM.
So yeah it kinda makes floyd look bad :)
Unfortunately *****s are getting hurt bad because their boy fights once per year vs shot bums like cotto when pacman and JMM are fighting each other and having amazing fights.
It's simple. Floyd just needs to step up to the plate and prove himself the bigger man.
The only thing floyd does well is do criminal acts and beat up women. That is his legacy lol
This is another thing I really don't like about Pacquiao fans...they love to try and spin things and they always have to drag Mayweather into their BS
Your Man Lost...just deal with it, why Drag Mayweather into it!
This is just the type of fanbase I DON'T LIKE, these idiots who think everyone is "A PACQUIAO OR MAYWEATHER FAN" so if your happy for JMM "YOU MUST BE A MAYWEATHER FAN" :no:
You guys can drag Mayweather into your BS all you won't but that still won't change the fact that Pacquiao got knocked the fuk out by a 39 year old fighter who most expected Pacquiao to finally Knockout in this fight because that is all Pacquiao and Roach was talking about
Pacman got OWNED by JMM bigtime last night.
That's the truth. :)
Fact is floyd is ducking pacman and it hurt boxing. Fighting bums once a year and ignoring the greatest threat to him is 100% ducking.
Conjuring up OST testing and asking for 50-50 to stop the fight was floyd's tactics as well as asking JMM to put 7 lbs of weight to come up to a class he NEVER fought in before.
Pacman is a good fighter and so is mayweather.
I'm first and foremost a BOXING FAN. nobody, not even ALI is above boxing.
Everybody who is a true boxing fan knows pac vs floyd hurt boxing and it's very sad when the poor boxing fans assume floyd beats pac because JMM lost to floyd when styles make fights.
It just goes to show how terrible so called boxing fans/experts are on this forum
Unless you guys are telling me that what floyd is doing right now and for the last few years is actually good for boxing then you should just keep quiet lol.
He has fought the best in his division consistently, without a break. Many people expected him to have an easy fight like nearly all fighters would, after the loss from Ward. But no, he faced the #2 168lber (yes nearly everyone thought he was rank 2) straight after. Like the above posts says, we can pick anyones resume apart and be childish about it. I'm pretty sure Froch would have gone to Canada to face Bute if he was able to, because hes simply a warrior.
You can pretty much say he'll fight anyone in his division anywhere despite money, what other fighter can you say that about?
Exactly!
Froch isn't the type of guy who ******* out and demands OST. He just fights anybody anywhere anytime.
A real champion like old times.

It's going to be interesting. I don't think either of them have really amazing chins so it's down to who will get the first real solid punch off before they both gas
Mosley looked like a tired shot fighter who could last 2-4 rounds maximum.
A real shame this fight wasn't made many years earlier.
Mosley suddenly turned old during round 4. I guess the old adage that fighters turn old in the ring rings true.
He barely threw any punches.....terrible fight after round 3.
I hope pacman vs mayweather will come...can't wait for it.
Has another fighter ever called Mayweathe chicken? Just curious because it seems like the people who never step into a boxing ring (writers,fans,etc) are the only group of people that like to call someone chicken, coward, ducker. Most pro fighters seem to think a lot higher of Mayweather than the press does. Mayweather just shut out Mosely, the same fighter that Pac and Roach avoided, now he's scared of Pac!
Just admit you dont like Mayweather and leave it at that dont start making sh*t up.
Well george foreman said he was a chicken.

If pacman was caught taking drugs and it was clear it was intentional use then yeah he doesn't deserve any credit.
But floyd is still a ducker...was before and now we all know he still is.
The thing people don't understand is that if pacman wasn't around floyd still wouldn't fight people like paul williams etc.
He doesn't take risks period and going against a 6'3 guy is risky in floyd's opinion
Larry merchant has never stepped in the ring with anybody. So what the f*** does he know other then licking pacman's nuts. He is the worst boxing expert there ever. He doesn't like floyd & will trash talk him at any cost. Larry merchant can eat a d***.
He is just saying floyd is a ducker. You don't need to be a ducker to know what a ducker is :)
the reason they ride Floyds ass about everything, and hate on him is simple. He's black! Black Americans are always treated like that when there the best in there field and have not forgotten there roots. Cashis clay was loved by all until he saw the light,and changed his name to Muhammed Ali. Floyd has never forgotten his roots and where he came from, he's a proud black man. They will always hate and fear a strong Black man. The first cahance theyt get to put him away they will. Just ask Joe luis, Ali, Jack Johnson, Mike tyson,or Tiger Woods. The list goes on and on. Mayweather will be hated until hes gone from the sport of boxing. Only then will he get his respect. Boxers like LIL Floyd only come along once or twice every 25 years. Being black is a gift and a curse. We were the first to be created by GOD. Look it up!
Please learn to differential between 'there' and 'their'. Don't wanna be the grammarpolice but that's just very wrong.
About black people and people hating on blacks?
I'm from the UK and there isn't as much hate on blacks as u think there is.
I think usain bolt is awesome and so does the majority of people i know cause he is one cool laid back jamaican.
Whereas floyd is a big mouth bulls.hitter. Even If he was white, yellow, green or purple...people would still hate on him.
come on man i can win american idiol and get thousands of fans..my homie is a facebook junkie and has 10,000 fans...and he doesnt even have a job
fans aint friends.
If pac loses that proves he was right to take the fight in the first place :)
If he loses then it helps to show that it was a risky contest seeing that he is giving away 5 inches in height and 6 inches in reach.
A loss aint the end of the world. Mike tyson lost to buster douglas cause he got lazy but everybody knows that prime mike tyson (before gus died) was and is a legend. He had sick handspeed...like manny handspeed and therefore sick power.
To be honest a great champion is one who takes risks and im glad the TS made this thread because the fight is a risky one :)
I give credit also to floyd for fighting mosley since mosley nearly took him out but mosley was post prime and everybody knows if some1 wants legacy they need to fight the best and pac is the best besides floyd.
You can only give credit where credit is due. in 20 years time if pac didn't fight floyd it will be rougher on floyd because of the media. Let's face it...kids only remember what the tv tells them and what is in their era (example the flomos saying floyd is greater than pernell = bu.llshit)
At the end of the day if they don't fight each other they both lose out.
I dunno about the pactard cotto bashing...haven't read it on forums.
But i do know one double standard.
Why did floyd ask for OST during negotiations with pac even thought he never asked for it in his previous fights....before pac negotiations took place
At the end of the day if the fight aint pac vs floyd then the fight aint worth having :)
