    Pacquiao/Larios was MUCH worse than Mayweather/Marquez

    Why has no one talked about this?

    Pac made Larios move up two weight clases (from 122 to 130) RIGHT AFTER HE WAS KO'D IN 3 ROUNDS BY IZZY VAZQUEZ! Not only that, Pac couldn't even KO him! He won a decision against a guy who had been KO'd in 3 rounds 2 weight classes below in his last fight!

    Why does Floyd get **** for not KOing Marquez? Marquez has NEVER been KO'd, Floyd was coming off a 2-year layoff, and he is a a BOXER, not a PUNCHER like Pac. Oh, did I mention JMM was ranked #2 p4p?

    Do you people (especially *******s) really think what Floyd/JMM even begins to compare with the Pac/Larios situation?

    cause its Pac.
    Also keep in mind the styles of the fighters. Its not like Floyd is a brawler or slugger who clinches and relys on his power to defeat his opponents.
    He is a skill fighter.

      that match up was sold as what it is a "tune-up" fight for PAC nothing more nothing less...

      and credit was given to PAC for taking Larios as tune-up, a live underdog ...

        I know, it was really a rhetorical question. People go against the slick boxer, always prefering the wreckless guys who get more KOs and get dragged into wars. Also, Floyd's "Money" persona doesn't help. Add this to him being undefeated, and everyone is obviously going to be against him.

          Damn, if getting KO'd two weight classes below makes you a live underdog, JMM (being the #2 P4Per and coming off 2 KOs) should have been the favorite against Floyd, who was coming off a 2-year layoff.

            Look at Pacquiao's size comparison to Agapito Sanchez. People question why Sanchez faught dirty? I would have too!

              Money Mayweather is held to far higher standards since he's a far superior Boxer compared to Pacquiao.

              If Mayweather gets hit once in his fights, it creates 100 page hate threads!


              Larios vs Pacquiao was a complete joke, and an ever more insult since that was his fight to duck Raheem.

                Pac came in at the required weight and didn't have to fool the public into thinking he was going to play by the rules and then bend them at the last minute.

                  Mayweather is held to the standard he created for himself.

                    Good point!

                    What's more interesting is that Pacquiao could only muster a draw against the much smaller Sanchez, yet Guzman was able to dominate him and win by TKO.
