    Clottey and Shane was boring. Mainly because they didn't choose to engage. I'm not sure why they call Marg fight boring. It was a good fight but terribly 1 sided. Wouldn't call that boring. Marg was still trying to win even with a lot of punishment already. A 17lbs difference and several inches in reach and height, and still a 1 sided beatdown... I see that pretty entertaining. Likewise with Hatton, it was a reckless fight for sure but not boring. Damn, to label that boring is to label Martinez-Pwill 2 as boring. Cotto fight was great and a potential FOTY is the first 5 rounds kept up to the 12th.

    I'm not even sure how he foresaw the de la hoya beatdown. Must be a fortune teller. lolz.

    One line tells the writer's viewpoint though.
    " He had been ballooning up in weight in between fights, reportedly not taking care of his body, and he had already been knocked out by Floyd Mayweather Jr.". It doesn't follow unless ... tsk tsk tsk.

      its just a matter of preference i guess... i enjoyed the dela hoya, hatton, cotto and margarito fights... clottey and mosley are just dull fights with the obvious reason that both are not committed to engage pacquiao...

      floyd is a great boxer and technician but i usually got bored with his fights particularly when he moved up to welterweight.... but i used to enjoy watching floyd when he is still at lower weights...

        Pac-Clottey was FIXED.

        and Pac-DelaHoya was FIXED too.
        do you have evidences to support your accusations against the named fighters, hombre?

        game fixing is a very bad thing in any sports...and is punishable under the laws...

            the Shane fight was boring
            that was Shane's fault
            other than that, Barrera 2 was his last boring one

                      Think about it this way, say they were offered a bribe lets say 10 million dollars. If they honestly believe they can beat/KO Pacman wouldn't they make MORE money by beating him and rematching?? Or is that too logical for conspiracy theorists.

                      Just so you know Pac and Mayweather shouldn't be fighting anyone but each other. No other fights make sense. Even Martinez.
