          When I saw the fight live, I scored it a draw and expected them to give it to Pac. I was as shocked as everyone else when Bradley got the nod. Honestly, I think Manny took a lot of rounds off and wasn't active enough.
          Exactly how I had it.

              Old school fighters get overrated in H2H comparisons.

                I believe Floyd has used PEDs. The 3 failed tests and his contract with USADA make Md even more su****ious.

                  This is not a "dirty secret", but in general I think people are often too quick to say that a particular athlete in a certain sport (e.g. football) would have made a great boxer. I think this assessment takes discernment on the part of a knowledgeable boxing fan.

                  Having said that, I am going to make one such suggestion that I think is legit. Russell Westbrook (PG for the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder), I believe, could've made a world-class fighter. Not only does he have the physical body, athletic skills galore, and fast reflexes, I think he's got that intangible crazy/killer mentality as well. Reminds me of a taller, light heavyweight version of Gerald McClellan.

                    I would also argue Ali could have been the greatest basketball player ever. He'd teach Lebron a thing or 2 about athleticism.

                      Clottey received a big redundancy payment from Bob and retired to the Ba***** for a job well done .

                      Margos boxing license was refused by the commission but Bob bought it under the table in Texas .

                      Margo said in an interview that he was promised the Pac fight 2 weeks before Bob created an internet countdown for a Floyd vs Pac fight while Floyd was on vacation with his family .
