    I'm having a hard time remembering the last time I felt gipped by a PPV. Maybe Jones-Trinidad.
    How about Mayweather/De La Hoya's choreographed sparring session?

    Also, for someone claiming to be so educated, try spelling a made up urban word correctly.

    gypped: Used as a term to describe when one has received [less than] they paid for. [Most people] do not realize it's a racist term that stems from [nomadic]...

        Thank you for your honesty. Maybe Al Haymon can take notes.

          ok...fair enough if that is how you feel.

          so if you think that he is overrated then why do you make spend soooo much time making threads about the guy?

            i'm saying it was technically a KD, because floyd's glove touched the canvas ever so slightly.....

            but you can't ignore the fact somebody was standing on his foot when he hit hit.

            try and dodge somebody's punch while their standing on your foot, and see if you're not the least bit off balance....

              Sparring doesn't mean anything.

              But I would like to see a vid of Floyd getting worked over by a smaller prospect.

                He may be. But the downside of that perspective is that when FMJ finally loses, then his conqueror didn't really accomplish anything.

                If Cotto or Pac beat a guy who was overrated to begin with...so what? That isn't a legacy builder for them. Sabes?

                Many people criticize Floyd's competition. Some deservedly so, some go overboard. But since the guys on Floyd's resume also widely overlap w Pac's and Cotto's resume, those other guys catch the overspray.

                  the bold is the most logical conclusion that one must honestly make if Cotto and Pac were to beat him. But if that is case that he is overrated, why even fight the guy?
