    Boxing double standards?

    After the past weekends fight and the reaction it has gotten here and in the media, I'm a little confused.
    I watched the replay of the JMM-Bradley fight, after reading the posts in NSB and articles from writers I was expecting a clinic of boxing to be put on by Timmy. But to tell the truth I wasn't that impressed.
    What was so great about what he did? Sure he used his greater hand and foot speed to his advantage but that was his best way to win. Is it because he didn't get KO'd and made JMM stumble a couple times?
    To tell the truth it reminded me a lot of the third Pac-JMM fight but nobody except JMM and his team was crying robbery afterwards.
    Just to make sure my eyes didn't deceive me I checked compubox numbers, and they are shockingly similar.
    So why is it in two fights that were won by the boxer who was busier and landed more, one was lauded as a robbery while the other was a superstar making boxing lesson?
    I know this is NSB and its full of fanboys who will just discredit boxers they don't like and up the ones they do, but what about writers. Did Pac's roll of wins put to much expectations on him to blow JMM out the water. Did Tim's beating he took against Ruslan lower them for him or was it JMMs KO of Pac?

      Pac is considered to the be the best of this generation, so expect higher expectations to be set against him when he fights.

      In my opinion Manny outbox the **** out of Marquez in their 3rd fight, He land 2 shots for Marquez's every 1 shot and the only time Marquez could land was after illegally stepping on Manny's foot to keep him pinned down.

      I always found it weird how suppose to be boxing fans claim Manny was on a slide after out boxing Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, Marquez, and Bradley all quite easily, but when that other guy barely beats his opponents it's considered a masterpiece.
