Actually, nobody got this right. 2001 to 2010, 2011 to 2020 are the right decades.
if you go back, there is no 0 AD. its 1 B.C. followed by 1 A.D. so the first decade is 1 A.D. to 10 A.D. fast forward to this decade, we are still at 2001 to 2010.
too bad it ended that way. we all know floyd would win the fight. but i just want to see ortizs' full effort against him. Floyd was too elusive the first 3 rounds. but ortiz was able to touch him before the headbut. I wish it last a couple of more rounds. it gave a little clue of what can pacman can do. But it also shows what the laser counters from floyd can do.
Whats wrong with catchweights anyway? Its a way to make fantasy fights a reality. If Sergio is calling out FMJ, should he go down to 147? Its not going to happen.
Do you think pacman vs cotto/margarito/clottey can be made at pacquiao's best weight at 140?
I dont care about the 8 division belts that he got. i only want to see good fair fights. If 2 boxers agree to a certain weight that would be fair for both sides, bring it on.
Yeah, its silly. cant imagine i created a thread regarding Floyd snr's comment. but what else is new. everybody created a thread for random OST anyway. its the same sh!t.
You just cant compare W-L records. different generations have different business environment. i would say if SRR is at this era, im sure he wont fight more than a 100 fights. But he will also have the same access to different conditioning techniques. But if you really want to compare, Watch his 1 best fight, at his peak, and analyze his strength and weaknesses. No sense in comparing 200 wins vs 50 wins.
funny thing is, 4 years ago, there is a thread comparing Duran and Pacman, and some fans mentioned that Pacman should beat the likes of Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Delahoya, etc at 140 to 147 just to be in the same level as Duran. Pacman did just that. Now, they think he needs to dominate 154 up to be comparable to Duran. Some fans just missing the greatness under their nose. Enjoy it guys until it last.
Hearns also accused SRL of steroids. Doesn't hold any waters today. I also dont think PBF will be judged as a ducker. They will be judged by their accomplishments, which i think will have a more negative effect on PBF. Pacman doesnt belong at 147. His legacy was built on beating the 3 best mexicans. Whatever he did 140 onwards are more on icing on the cake. Those are Fantasy fights made reality which Pac is the underdog.
if PBF wins against pac, doesnt really tarnish Pacs resume.
Im surprised nobody commented on these.
Voy also said that while tiny amounts of blood are drawn for testing "it can be dangerous."
"I agree with Dr. Voy that there are theoretical and real risks to blood testing one of which is a (boxer getting) a hematoma on the elbow or a clot from missing a vein."
Dr. Watson said blood testing should be curtailed "within three to four weeks before (a fight) so that the hemotoma risk does not put a fighter at a disadvantage."
I don't think Old school greats are that much better than Mayweather or Pacman. They are very over rated. They may have 500+ wins for all i care. different era. different business rules. but if you try to analyze the per fight, they are wide open. Robinson throws looping wide hook. I think Mayweather can win this fight. If pacman fought Graziano, you will say its tailor made for him. Coming forward with his face first.
Science also helps. proper nutrition, peak conditions, etc.
Ever heard of PRIDE? you guys are just over analyzing things. I think its the approach mayweather camp used. They insulted Pac first then demanded an OST. If you were accused of having aids by a bully would you go out of your way to do those test just to prove the bully wrong? Not me. its Pathetic.
Now you'll say he's missing out a 50M$ paycheck for not taking OST. sounds dumb for us since we dont have that cash. Pac earned that maybe in 2-3 fights. Its not a big deal for him
Wow! I thought Floyd Fans doesnt care about those abc belts ever since Floyd disrespecting them. Now, Pacman is fighting for a Catchweight 154 belt, Floyd fans feel Pacman is cheating history.
Question is, does Margarito have more advantage in fighting at 150 or at 147?
obviously 150 favors Margarito. so whats the fuzz? those lousy belts?
Wow. Too much hate on this forum. Are you guys seriously trying to match up PACMAN with Martinez and think its fair? If both are naturally the same size, pacman would destroy martinez. Martinez a bigger version of JMM? lol.
Martinez is right though, pacman has no business fighting at 150+. Its a circus match.
Are you guys a boxing fan or just plain haters?
