not hatin on timmy here but he used to be the toast of the 140lb weight class. now his rep is in shreds. that after 'beating' an old shopworn fighter. just goes on to show that winning belts is not everything in boxing. gota earn that rep the hard way,i guess.

bradley had his chance to steal the limelight from pac. he COULDVE gone to war with pac like promised... but he played it safe and got his rep tarnished...
josesito lopez gained more fans with a gutsy loss compared to tim's cautious "win"...
sucks for tim... he's a good champion, but just got stuck in a bad position.
now he is stuck with options like berto, judah, & peterson on HBO (if they even offer him dates)... the guy got a "win" over a p4p great and he is still begging for another payday.
pac seems to be faded anyway... tim needs to move on and build a bigger fanbase.Comment

in many ways, he opted to take the ortiz route.... instead of the ward route....
he got a belt that nobody cares to take from him. i say give matthysse a shot!!!!Comment

You're making my ass itch! Belts mean nothing today guy! Only people really screaming for belts are the up and comers. Fighters like Mayweather, Pacquiao and Cotto don't really need belts to sale a fight. Its just something to help promote a fight. You know why that belt means nothing, because neither one would be the actual Lineal Welter Weight champion. Mayweather is the lineal champion, because he's the man that beat the man. You think Pac cares about making history at this point? That mattered when he was fighting for a title at 154 aginst Marg. To show you how much the belts matter, if they had any significance Marquez probably wouldn't be fighting Pac for a fourth time. Those dudes don't care about belts, they care about winning and regardless of what they might say, they care about "Money". They just say they don't to blow smoke up your ass. Shane Mosley who was considered the WW champion, not title holder although he did have the WBA belt at the time fought Mayweather. Mayweather didn't want the belt, he didn't pay the sactioning fees because he knew that he would be the Lineal champ with or without that damn belt. Belts mean nothing, just as Mayweather said they only collect dust. For the more established fighters, chasing belts are a thing of the past, its all about status. You think Martinez, who is the lineal champ at MW wanted to fight Chavez for that damn WBC belt or for the money and recognition? Don't worry I'll wait for you to answer.Comment

Like I said, a TRUE Champion wouldn't let another fighter walk away with his belt without wanting to prove he won in a rematch.
Pac JMM IV is such a waste of time. Right along the lines of the Clottey, Margarito and Mosley fights.
Look for Bob to exclude Mayweather again and want to make Bradley vs Pac II next year.Comment
