Ali punching his wife:
From Sugar Ray Robinson book, Pound for Pound - Muhammad Ali took his wife into the bathroom and beat her.
The reason? His wife's skirt is short.
From Ali's biography The Greatest - When Robinson tried to intervene, Ali shouted "Ray, you ain't nothin' but a middleweight!"
Sugar Ray Robinson also punched his wife!Comment

Bernard Hopkins "I'll never let a white boy beat me" then what do you know!
I love B-Hop and hate Calzaghe but I gotta admitt that was kinda funny. B-Hop should watch his mouth sometimes. He's still one my favorite fighter though! And that doesn't mean he shouldn't have won the fight.Comment

In past interviews, Pacquiao said he practiced counter-punching, that by the time he reaches Hatton, it was so automatic, that when Hatton telegraph his left punch, Pacquiao countered with his right hook roll under move, EVEN BEFORE HATTON PUNCH.
“Sometimes I get bored doing the right hook over and over again,” said Pacquiao.
That's almost the same move with Marquez only in reverse. This means only one thing, Pacquiao can now counter punch with both hands.
Example 1: Counterpunching the Counterpuncher

Pacquiao faked a jab and as soon as Marquez started countering with a left hook, Pacquiao ducked and threw a huge left of his own. Perfect. Common during Pacquiao's sparring session but rare during his actual fights.Comment
