    Floyd mostly shutout his opponents and anything close he'd rematch to shut up the doubters (and haters). Vegas has nothing to do with raw talent and superior skills. A true boxer of the game. Not a wreckless k.o. Artist.

      What fight did you watch? Canelo got outclassed the whole fight. The only thing Canelo stole was Laras victory...

        I'd say both Pac and Floyd have equal chances of getting screwed over on the cards. For one a lot of people don't want to see Floyd retire undefeated surpassing Marciano. Also Pac is not an American so this fight could go to Floyd.

          im just hoping this fight gets made, as far as a "controversial" decision, floyd isnt as "protected" as some on here claim. Implying so is saying that Floyd has faced a better fighter, thats not the case at all. If anybody is gonna point fingers about being "protected", just have a look at Pac and Top Rank events in general, controversial "decisions" is the name of the game with Bob.

          All that aside im hoping for a good fight fair decision, no excuses. I fear with so much money at stake that might not be the case.

            Try re-reading what he said, you took that all wrong in your rush to be defensive you missed his entire point. He didn't say he wasn't outclassed, that wasn't his argument. His point was that if Canelo had looked a little better the would've tried to use that justify stealing the win from Floyd. Also for the record Lara knew what he was in for, don't stop throwing punches and flat out running which i'm sorry to say is what lara did late in that fight when Alvarez started body hunting. Lara would've easily won that fight had he not.

              This has been my one worry with this fight, that either man looks good and has the night of their life and the fight ends in a controversy despite there being a clear winner. Even more so in a closely contested fight. There is more money to be made off a bad decision than there is from a straight called fight. Not saying that would be the case but the thought should be in the back of any gamblers mind.

                Pac Mayweather

                This is the first time I have ever agreed with Marquez on anything.

                  Funny coming from Marquez who is always crying about being robbed in the first three Pacquiao fights which were all in Las Vegas.

                    Marquez just pissed all over Mayweather.

                    This is a 50/50 fight.

                      You couldn't even touch Michael Jordan back in the day lol just breathe on Mike and it was a foul! But J ordan didn''t initially enjoy such luxury. He earned that favoritism through hard work dedication great financial business decisions but more inportantly winning! Jordan made a lot of money for a lot of people. It was in the best interest of many multi-billion dollar corporations including the NBA itself for Michael Jordan to win.

                      Not comparing Mayweather to the great Michael Jordan but in boxing particularly in Vegas Floyd does make a lot of money for a lot of people. Star power. A-side in negotiations. But make no mistake this position wasn't just given to him by no means. He earned it.
