      Truly an amazing win.

        Moorer said he was already out on his feet from the previous right hand.

          you smoking crack

          hopkins beating tarver and pavlik way more impressive.

          had this win happened immediately after thurmans victory over garcia then maybe

          but due to thurmans inactivity and looking like sh.it vs josesito that took some of the shine off this win for pacquiao.

          hopkins >>> pacman all day

              Pavlik was an overrated one dimensional fighter. Left jab, straight right hand, nothing special. It was also a catchweight fight.

              Tarver was a good win, not great. Thurman had one bad round versus Lopez and his haters made way too big a deal over it. Hopkins was dirty and boring and rarely if ever at a size disadvantage. Pac’s win over Thurman far outshines anything Hopkins ever accomplished.

                Like I said, George was behind on all three cards. Was getting out worked and just standing in the middle of the ring. Moorer got sloppy and George landed his one big punch. Great win, and I respect what he accomplished. But PAC being older, smaller, and Thurman being a top three of not the top welter seals it for me.

                  This damaged goods crap gets thrown far too much to minimize the win for the opponent. His body got broken down by Spence and his eye gave out and got stopped. It happens.
                  Exactly....The way the fight was going Brook cuda easily won and nobody wuda said shyt. But since he loss people conveniently say he was damaged?? He was ****ing Spence up but cudnt keep up with Spence pace

                    Not that I disagree...but it’s not like Spence and Crawford have done so much more than Thurman at ww. Let’s be real...rating those guys over Thurman is mostly based on the eye test.
