    Weight issue played a very minor role but Mayweather vs Marquez

      Assuming you're right, that was almost ten years ago. Whatever the case, it doesn't happen very often.

        you can also make a case for Dawson-Ward if you rated Dawson highly...

          Floyd completely owned JMM, and I gave him credit for it, but Mayweather enjoyed a definite size advantage. Still, this might be the answer I've been looking for.

I was as surprised as most to see this spectacle. But it happened, and everyone saw it. There's no denying it.

                Donaire has a excuse for everything even after a win. Last year Arum fed Donaire easy fights so he can look spectacular in and he only was able to KO Arce and Nishioka, worse thing Donaire won 2012 fighter of the year just for the simple fact he fought 4 times in a year which is so rare now in Boxing that they made it a big deal. When he fought a threat like Rigondeaux which he was forced to fight because Bob Arum had no more options for Donaire, Rigo took him to school.

                Donaire..... RIGO TU PAPA HIJEPUTA!!!!!

                  I know at that time he hadn't seen the replay, but once he sees it, he's gonna be disgusted with himself.

                    He should have kept his comments to his very first statement in his Kellerman interview. Everything he said after the second question was bull---- and could have been kept to himself. Now he's complaining about being thumbed in the eye . . . the same eye he was taunting Rigo about at the weigh-in staredown . . . the very same eye Rigo would have probably cracked earlier than the last round if Donaire hadn't been so cautious, confused and conservative before the championship rounds?

                    Does anyone here believe that Donaire would have finished the fight had his eye gotten busted open in round 8 rather than 12? After the first four rounds it was only a matter of time in my opinion and Donaire probably knew what Rigo was capable of too

                    That's why Donaire was so cautious as Max Kellerman so astutely pointed out at the beginning of round six remember?

                      Basically every time they engaged Rigo got the most decisive shot in. It was surreal to see him countering Donaire's counters with such speed, authority, precision and ease. I've never seen a fighter so completely in control against such a lethal threat. Rigo = Neo.
