    Pretty accurate except for the second to last one, that should have been rip off of the year.

        Lol, no because it cost $99. Hence why I called it a rip off.

          LOL Pretty much. It was the biggest fight of all time and one of the most significant fights in history in terms of legacy. But people want to act as if it didn't happen because they did not get the result they desired. I was actually shocked at how many people believed Manny would beat Floyd before the fight. I saw people who have followed the sport for years who thought Manny could pull it off. That just goes to show how people use emotion over logic.

              Who ever thought it was gonna be a slugfest was a dumb azz and deserved to be disappointed.

              You probably feel ripped off because the media sold you a dream



              Manny was never a rival, never had the attributes or required skills to be beat a boxer who can adapt, with a great defense and a sharp shooter on counters....Manny's kryptonite


              Maybe you were hoping God delivered Floyd into Manny's hands


              I never saw a way Manny could beat this guy unless he landed a Tarver vs Jones type shot...i.e. one he didn't see and couldn't recover from in time



              Thus why its important to form your own opinion by being a true fan and watching a lot of fights

              When was the last time Mayweather was in a back and forth war?

                I never thought Manny was gonna beat Floyd, just didn't have the tools...not taking anything away from Manny who is a true ATG


                It all boilded down to people not liking Mayweather for various reason and wanting to see him lose


                think about it, who do you know on this site or in the media that gave a well though out boxing assessment of How and why Manny would win

                " Oh, I like Manny!"......."Floyd needs to be taught a lesson"

                yadda yadda, nothing about what he was gonna do in the ring to prevent Floyd from outboxing him

                They hoped he'd win...I knew Floyd would

                  Nice choices from top to bottom. I would of given Canelo fighter of the year but not upset that Fury got it. There was no real slam dunk fighter of the year a lot of guys you could of made the case for.

                    I never thought I'd see the day when Tyson Fury was considered the fighter of the year in Ring magazine.
