    pac morales-failed to live up to the 'fight of the year' hype everyone paid 44.95 to see, however i was still satisfied because it was a damn good fight, but no fight of the year thats for sure.

        I think Hamed-Kelley is underrated, what a terrific fight. Anyone who saw it knows what I'm saying, but think about it, if Kelley had kept his cool after the first time he got knocked down, he would have Barrera'd the Prince but in KTFO fashion. Hamed was getting clobbered in this fight, and Kelley had the power to finish him. Hell, he had him wobbly several times and on the canvas three times. But he got greedy and went after Hamed wildly and paid the price. Give Naseem credit for that, but Kelley made such a huge mistake...then again, I guess if I had someone down three times in 4 rounds, I'd probably try to finish him too...just a tough outcome for Kelley...

        Why was there no immediate rematch? Hmm...

          I don't see how Pac/Morales didn't live up to the hype. There wasn't one dull moment in the fight and these are two elite guys we're talking about...not two borderline journeyman. I guess for a fight to be FOTY these days you have to have 3000 punches thrown with 4 KD's and a 12th rd KO.

            underrated: Tyson vs Razor Ruddock II, Golota vs Bowe I and II.

            overrated: most of De La Hoya pay-per-views.

                I agree Pac vs. Morales did live up to the hype, what a great it was. Fight of the year as of now.

                  I always thought Holyfield-Dokes was a great underrated battle.

                  I think also that Tyson-Ruddock 1 was an underrated fight to some degree.

                    Are you kidding? How the **** can you say that pac-morales failed to live up to the hype? Pac-Morales was a battle royale, with both men showing great heart and both guys going balls to the wall.

                    If your gonna comment on a fight, make sure what you say isn't completely ******ed.
