Where is all the PACman love??

I got on the Pac band wagon late and crossed over from a Floyd fan. It all came down to Pac having to beat all odds in the twilight in his career to get the fans to demand a fight with Floyd. Floyd had all the cards when Pac got KO'd and what pissed me off was the obvious notion that Floyd all along never wanted to fight him. He was giddy with happiness that Pac had failed miserably and (thought) would become irrelevant. The idea that the P4P number 1 superstar would be happy that his greatest potential test and money grab had subsided to nothing. It was a major low for the sport IMO in that sense. Amazing win for Marquez however.
Floyd was an awesome promoter and character for our time and it was him who pulled my interest into boxing. The 24/7 series and theatrics involved in it was the birth of reality TV boxing and it changed the sport for the good in many cases.
But Pac was the fighter of the decade and that in itself is very fitting.

Great post! I agree!

Somebody misses arguing with the pact@rds...

I sure do... They were fun to mess with. They came up with insane excuses for PAC's loss. Then the t@rds went to what Spain thought, in slow motion no less.

They reminded me of an ex girl friend who I cheated on constantly in college. She used to make better excuses for me than I did. She was the best!

That is a good point, but this time they pulled a bait and switch. People were so hyped for the Crawford match but instead got a huge letdown.

PAC vs Bud would be great for boxing now. Hopefully in April!

Never hated manny, the guy was easy to root for. He let me down with the bull**** shoulder excuse. Having endured shoulder injuries, that was not how someone acts with a tear in their shoulder, whether it was before, during the fight. He showed no signs of distress, didnt mention it after in the ring with Max, then all of a sudden "my shoulder, he run, he do nothing"...sheesh...have some humility, the better man won.

Agreed, suddenly he remembers he had a shoulder injury....

Pre fight he was 100% all systems go!

Nope! I ain't buying it, and my lil Jhonny laughs about it.
