    canelo looked fine to me too.

    floyd beat him because floyd is just better.

    same thing with gloves thing with maidana-floyd/pac-morales.

    do gloves/catchweight make a little difference? sure. a little.

    so do other things like ring size/judges/referee/etc.

    end of the day the fighters have to fight. and 90-95% of the deciding factor will be because of fighters skill/gameplan/style.

    ppl and their catchweight complaints.

    boxers can cut 10-15 lbs and rehydrate safely. it's normal.

    IF YOU FIGHT AT 147 AND CAN'T FIGHT AT 145... YOU WERE TOO DAMN BIG TO BE FIGHTING AT 147 ANYWAY.

      pacquiao is not even top ten......this is a guy who's been ktfo three times already. all of the guys i've mentioned have faced the hardest punchers and still haven't been ko'ed
      getting koed doesn't mean you're not tough.

Id say malignaggi gets an honorable mention. I know everyone is saying alexander but the guy just holds after getting hurt. I love how broner fought in the later rounds against maidana. Provodnikov really deserves mention but hey also the guy he just fought algieri dude had eye swollen and fought like 10 more rounds that way and won.

          How is it ridiculous? He's in his 17th, 18th year of professional prize fighting, rarely have you seen him in trouble and when so, he recovers well. Heck, he hasn't even suffered a legit knockdown.

          C'mon man,

              i think there was a female fighter named JOAN GUZMAN.

              i think she was haitian.

              not sure. i don't follow womens boxing.

                but remember aside from jmm few have hurt pac at 147.

                remember when he walked thru cottos punches?

                went toe to toe with a huge marg at 150?

                Man, you're talking about Pac's steroid years. They don't count.

                    Wait so Getting Hurt, Recovering and finding a way to win doesn't make you "THOUGH" WTF are some of you talking about

                    Maidana is tough as is Bradley and Alexander

                    Also Froch of course WTF are you guys going to say "HE IS NOT TOUGH BECAUSE GROVES DROPPED HIM"

                    John Molina Jr. Been Dropped and Stopped but that kid is TOUGH AND RELENTLESS!

                    Danny Garcia is extremely tough with a excellent chin, still don't know how this shot did not Stop Or Drop Him:

                      Did he look like he was hurt at all in his most recent fight, against Floyd?
