You dont even have to go back to see who has beaten better fighters than Corley or Gatti. Somebody has beaten the likes of MAB, JMM and Morales consecutively in a DOMINANT fashion.

Mab/Jmm/Morales/Pac had the advantage of all being around the same weight and all being dominant, or close to it, at the same time. They got to fight eachother in round robin fashion and whoever one that month was on top.

However, you can't criticize Mayweather and not Pac. Pac might fight like a warrior, but his competition of late is made up of former-warriors who have no business fighting him. Solis? A clearly depleated Morales? Larios, who had just been beaten by Vasquez? A mediocre Valezquez? And now he's fighting an opponent who who he beat years ago in sound fashion, and while Pac is looking as good as ever; we obviously can't say the same about MAB.

In one fight during his so called prime his opponent did what somebody suggested one of Mayweather's opponents would do. Ali was doing his usual ridiculous dance routine, staying on the fringes of the ring avoiding engagement. Crowd was booing like hell. So the guy he was fighting just stood in the center of the ring with his hands down for like a good 15 seconds. While he did the crowd really got amped with the boes, Ali finally engaged just a little bit, some combat resumed temporarily.

[tredh]

He put on a good fight, he fought hard to defend the title. People want to see rematches of what were good fights. Makes sense if you ask me.



so you if it was Kelly Pavlik assuming Floyd's antics inside the ring he would not meet the same criticism? Is it maybe because Floyd is black or maybe his personality?

Bottom line: For a guy that gets the accolads of Floyd and who is championed by so many in media, sanctioning bodies, he deserves a ****load of criticism.

I said a rematch made sense so what is your point? Name me one fighter who faces the same hate and critism that PBF faces. PBF's personality has nothing to do with what he does in the ring. I will never understand how a person can be critized for doing what puts them in the best position to win. Sugar Ray Leonard is not critized for the way he fought Duran in the second fight. Yall do realize that all boxers don't go toe to toe unless they have to. In Sugar Ray Leonard's fight with Hearns he tried to out box Hearns until he realized he was being out boxed and had to change. Up till this point no boxer has made PBF have to do that. So I guess PBF is the blame because nobody has made him have to change his style up and fight toe to toe.

I think I finally get it it's PBF fault that nobody has been able to make him change what works best for him. It's all PBF fault that every fight that the fans wanted to see that didn't get made its all PBF's fault. Everything is PBF fault I finally can see the light.
Yeah ****ing right.
Since when has it been smart to go away from what works best for you just because SOME people don't like? I don't know when that **** became the thing to do and I don't want to know.

Critism and blind hate are two very different things.

You ruined the joke by explaining it.

You have to understand and I think you agree. How you win or how you lose in boxing can be and often is as important as the official descision of the bout.

You think it's something personal? I'm telling you. Any fighter who pulled the antics of Mayweather inside the ring and was given the same accolades as him would face the same rightfull criticism.

Jeebus, you know that MAB wouldve mopped the floor with any of the contenders out there. Soto had his hands full with B-Pac who wouldnt last a round with his brother, Juarez got his ass beat by MAB, Valero IDOLIZES Pac (he bet his car on Pac in the first Morales fight), JMM went to Indonesia when Pac was a-calling and Guzman is frigging overrated.

Bottomline, you can't fault Pac for fighting MAB.

[The Troll]

I can never consider a fighter who's that uncombative, and therefore unimpressive in the descisions he's awarded is as great as the sanctioining bodies, media's, promoters would have you believe.

I'm not. I'm simply stating that the street goes both ways. People can't criticize Mayweather for some picked opposition and then not Pacquiao. I think MAB is a game opponent. I certainly wont pick him to win, but it wont be like Pac/Morales III or anything.
