Gift Decisions And The Fighters Who Need Them

[Devils Advocate]

Yep, and the the thing with JMM is that this is RECENT, JMM is still active and still considered one of the best P4P, he even actively pursued PAC for the rematch only to be avoided like the plague.

Damn can't fault the guy for wanting to make some bread, fighting Marquez again will be 3x they fought 2x already and now Marquez is at the end of his career. Pacquiao needed bigger challenges and unfortunately for Marquez jumping up past 135 didn't set well with his body or maybe he didn't have enough time to get use to the weight but either way a welterweight fight b/t Pacquaio/Marquez won't satisfy the public b/c Marquez is 2 slow and isn't quite as accurate. 2 this day I'm amazed at a man that can be dropped 3 times in the first round and comeback the way he did. Thats skills and some serious heart.

It says a lot that JMM has been dropped as much as he has in his career but still held on to the P4P #2 spot for as long as he did. The guy has a huge pain threshold and a lot of heart.

If this is all about PBF-Castillo, it's beating a dead horse. He rematched him and won.

True but that fact don't stop Mayhaters from constantly bringing it up up up

So many of you MayHaters are stuck on Floyd's original win over Castillo, at least 10 times a month a Tard or Mayhater got to bring up the fact that he got a close controversial or even a "gift" against Castillo. Ok, I'll come back to that in a moment.

There's a guy by the name of Oscar De La Hoya who imo, it was his strategy to make the fight close and hope for a gift decision. Against Whitaker, Quartey, and yes Felix Sturm, Oscar is a clear beneficiary of a Gift Decision. However, he is barely criticized at all in winning these fights. Even in his fight against Floyd, Oscar was banking on a gift decision, it was his strategy to be the good guy, fan favorite, look busy and hope the judges dont realize he's hitting nothing but air.

Floyd as we all know immediately rematched Castillo to remove all doubt that he was the better man. That my boxing friends is what you are suppose to do, if a guy gives you a tough fight and a disputed victory then give him a rematch. Floyd did that therefore he shouldn't have to hear **** about this fight ever again.............WRONG, you haters cant get over it.

Enter Shane Mosely, there are many who believe he got a gift over Oscar in their second fight. But unlike Floyd does he grant Oscar a rematch???? NO, his dumb azz passes on the big money rematch and signs to fight Winky who whips his azz for less money. See thats called poetic justice. Floyd should of beat Castillo and did. Shane should of lost to Oscar and got his azz whipped by Winky as a result. Adding insult to injury we all know Shane was High On PEDs for that fight as well.

So lets put it like this, Floyd is still at the top of his game in 2010, so lets get realistic and agree that Floyd beat Castillo, with or without the gift.

Mosley did give Oscar a rematch you moron. what's the point in having a 3rd fight when you beat him twice already. even if Oscar would of beaten him Mosley would still be 2-1 over Oscar.

Brush it off mate. People get baited into pointless flame wars then complain about it. Just shut them down and move on.
