yeah?
you do realize that manny tried to make weight after failing it the 1st time right?
did floyd try to make weight after failing?
manny also was penalized by having to use heavier gloves.
floyd just cut check.
not only did he not try to make weight after failing , i doubt he even tried to make weight beforehand.
btw pacquiao was a 112 fighter fighting a fellow 112 fighter , floyd was 147 fighter fighting a catchweight fight with a 135 fighter.Last edited by whirlwind; 07-01-2010, 10:17 PM.Comment

I watched the fight several times. Pacquiao scored the knockdown but after that it was just a completely one sided boxing lesson. Marquez outboxed, outpunched and outworked Pacquiao enough to get a unanimous decision victory. I'm not biased, I dont like either of the fighters but it was clear that Pacquiao should have lost. Any unbiased boxing fan could see that Marquez clearly won the fight.
If you don't believe me then look on youtube, There is a video of boxingscene's own Fillipino sports analyst Ronnie Nathanielz saying that he believes Marquez won the fight but the judges gave it to Pacquiao because he is more marketable.Comment

I like Floyd, Larry. I do. But that does not mean I am afraid to call it a ***** move on Floyd's part.
I believe Floyd would have put on the same clinic with JMM as he did making weight or not; which is why I am disappointed that he gave his enemies more ammunition against him. His performance was stellar, but it would have had more merit if he had kept to the spirit of the contract. Oh, make no mistake about it, he honored the contract, but he also exploited it.
This is also how I feel about Pac's catchweight fight against Cotto.Comment

From what I remember, Manny came in overweight at the scales, then tried to lose the excess pounds and tried again after a few hours but still failed. Thus, he was stripped of his title prior to the fight and made to wear heavier gloves. You are also correct that he lost the fight because he was weight-drained.Comment
