The casual fans will defenitely remember Pac being KTFO'd by Marquez. This is because these casual fans doesn't know that Marquez is Pac's kryptonite, and they think Marquez is just some regular boxer. These casual fans are the same ones accusing Marquez of steroids, and some of these casual fans also believe that Pac is undefeated (Ive met a few of these and I was quite embarassed). So for these casual fans, to see their superstar KTFO'd will defenitely be remembered.
Real boxing fans understands that Marquez is Pac's kryptonite, and that KO was purely from perfect timing and placement, not PEDs. They understand that getting KTFO is part of the game and 1 punch can change everything. Was it a shocker that Pac got KTFOd? Sure, but not as shocking to those casuals that always believed Pac was invincible and who doesn't know who Marquez really is.

Originally posted by KRAFTSMAN View PostFloyd never wanted the fight at any cost. He was scared of Poochiao. Floyd pretended he's interested. So all these roadblocks he dumped are immaterial. He would not have fought Paq even if Paq agreed to all of them including your $40 million. That's the bottom line.

I mean when you think of Joe Louis do you immediately remember him as the guy who was knocked out of the ring by Marciano?
Better to compare with Tyson. I loved Tyson but the image I will always have is him crawling on the canvas fumbling for his mouthpiece. Fair? Nope. Fact? Yup.
