Hey moron, explain what you meant when you posted this dribble.....
" If a fighter has 0.01% chance of winning, yeah, he's effectively got "no chance" if we're talking like normal humans should. A punch can be "lucky", and Pacquiao could have gotten "lucky" earlier in an alternate universe. That we're not living in a perfect world where everything has a set outcome is my point, and that's what makes boxing in particular so fascinating. For the record, Floyd himself has alluded to the old "puncher's chance". It's fairly well understood that it exists, and although I generally frown upon reducing it to such an unimpressive sounding phenomenon, it's worth noting that even one of the most technically skilled boxers in the world knows it's out there, and that it comes flying at him every time he steps into the ring "
Go into detail, and use big words, we all want to know what you meant.
What point were you trying to make when you posted that dribble in a conversation concerning Juan Manuel Marquez?

Number one poker player in the world loses to number 3. Number one tennis player loses to number 100. You can take that to mean Marquez is number one (or if that offends you, Mayweather), it doesn't matter. I merely am making the point that there is room for more than one outcome. You take the insane view that there isn't: that Marquez and Pacquiao could fight 100 times, and because Marquez is better, he would win all 100 times. If I have to point out the insanity of this idea to you, I'd imagine you have to wear a helmet around the house.
To further clarify, I'm not saying Marquez has a puncher's chance to beat Pacquiao. If you read some of my other post-fight posts, in one I argued against a guy saying Pacquiao lost because "Marquez isn't a bum". Yeah, he's not only not a bum, he's a goddamned master. Having this long ****** argument trying to make me look like I think Marquez got lucky is completely missing my point. It's not my fault if I think more about things than you do, and appreciate more in-depth analysis of what goes on.
So, a couple for you: if Marquez and Pacquiao fight 100 times, does JMM win all 100?
That Marquez never knocked down or KO'd Pacquiao before, following your logic means he couldn't have done it. Did Saturday not really happen, or are you ready to stop letting me lawyer you and admit your logic is a contradiction in terms?
