Dude, I watched the fight, Marquez was throwing wild hooks and uppercuts that Floyd constantly dodged. I've never seen a fighter look so frustrated. Floyd's face was flawless as always at the end of the fight. 12% is a joke, he landed 69 total punches. I don't agree with looking at only stats with close fights, but the stats speak for themselves on this one.Comment

Many posters and bloggers continue to write as though there is only one weight in a division. For example, 154 lbs in the Jr middle. All divisions have a given range-148 to 154 in Jr middle, for example. Thus,154 is the upper limit, one more pound and you're out. Anyone who hangs on to this poundage and who is 5'11" tall, most likely is a middle weight but wants the added advantages of fighting smaller opponents. If you ask me who gains more fighting at 150 lbs, Pacquiao or Magarito, I would say neither, the weight evens things out. Without catch weights, a 148 pounder would have to face 154 pounder! This doesn't make sense! The only remedy, which also doesn't make sense, would be to have a division for each pound! In other words, if we have boxers ranging from 100 lbs to 250 lbs, we would have 150 weight divisions and titles. At least, we wouldn't need catch weights.Comment

If Mayweather did this with a Cotto fight, I'd be right here saying the same stuff I am now. It's a cheap tactic. But here's the thing. I would have expected it from Floyd since he's all about controversy. The fact that it's Pacquiao is what's really frustrating. I expected better. =/
there was a misunderstanding..
i meant that the people that would crucify Floyd with such tactics are the same people who are okay with Manny doing it.Comment
