    Its wierd, Pacquaio getting KO'd the way he did kinda took the excitement out of boxing a little. I wonder......if Floyd loses to whomever, will that be good or bad for boxing.

    Maybe Im not a true fight fan, but I have no fights to look forward to, shed some light and tell me what fights should be good. Im losing interest in Boxing, HELP.

        Pacroid's face was the only thing bad for boxing. He could have crashed through the freaking ring from the way he fell face first after Marquez hit him so hard. Maybe next time someone offers hus dumb ass $40mil he'll take it instead if getting ktfo & becoming the laughing stock in boxing. Hahahahahahahahahaha. .

          It's Boxing, its not good or bad for boxing!! It was bad for Manny thats all, good for Juan and anyone who strangely wants to take credit for it hahaha!!! fans!!!

          Its a KO it happens why is there such a big deal about it? Juan has stopped other fighters, Manny was stopped before they both win the vast majority of the time and they fight each other close in 3 other bouts! Move on. Ray.

            We've all had to go through this by now, a KO or not Pac is approaching the tail end of his career...it hardly ever goes well for any of our favorites, it's pretty gut wrenching.

            I've gone through periods where I became unfamiliar with boxing's landscape and how the era was turning over, some of my favorite prospects lost their step-up fights or were getting old, etc.... and it hurt my interest in the very early 2000's, but then I was right back when new guys solidified themselves. Maybe it will open you up to following younger fighters and to go through the journey like you did with Pac, become a fan of boxing and not so much one fighter.

            You got into boxing because of Pac, who killed off one of the most popular fighters of all time, it will happen again. Just remember boxing has a very rich history and there are 1000's of excellent fights you can go back to and put into context and understand the sport more, maybe when you come back to it you'll have a different perspective and it will make you more interested. I'm always interested in reading the posts of the posters who actually saw all these classic fighters live while it was all happenening, their scope of history is pretty vast so I bet seeing Pac lose is nothing to them.

            For me, Pac-JMM IV set me up for another 10 years of being hooked - it was that unexpected.

              If they make the 5th fight it will be GREAT for boxing.

              If they don't and Paquiao just retires in the next year or 2 then it will have be terrible for boxing

                x100000000000000000. If you are a fan only because of one fighter than **** off. Fair weather fans are the vocal minority on here. Know nothing, say everything.

                  I'm just glad you used an apostrophe and an 's' in the title.

                      Pac's loss makes Mayweather and Ellerbe happy.
