    So is Floyd-Baldo the most abominable fight in history? If you say no, dont frigging complain about the rematch. You cant have it both ways, otherwise your credibility goes down the drain.
    I would certainly nominate Mayweather/Baldomir for the most boring fight in recent memory, no doubt about it. I'm sure I could find an old fight that rivaled in in terms of overall disappointment, but we're talking recent memory here. I'd also nominate all of John Ruiz's fights for that award as well.

    And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall saying the rematch was boring, simply uneventful and disappointing.

        I don't believe it's allowed, but a lot of members here post **** pics in different threads and never get punished for it. Can't say I'm complaining, it wouldn't be very straight of me to complain that someone posted a picture of a hot chick getting ****ed by a machine while enjoying some titty suction in my thread.

            Don't underestimate Pac's accomplishments. He definitely has a good chance of matching if not surpassing Barrera's legacy.

              Maybe in terms of great Filippino fighters, but overall I don't think he can beat Barrera's legacy. His trilogy with Morales was past Morales' prime, and I can't see any prime fighter out there today who Manny could have a great trilogy with. But I do think he may be able to tie Barrera's legacy, a rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez would help him get there.

                I agree though that the fight left much to be desired. Obviously MAB didnt want to fight. And Pac was tired at the latter rounds for some reason.

                    I believe the rumors that he's having problems with his weight. He came in almost at the Welterweight limit.

                    It's either that or his late night hobbies are making it difficult to diet properly.
