    I was not just the average fan. I had to know everything that happened in boxing. I am just tired of this crap.

      If they ever **** over Mayweather (which will be VERY hard to do), I'm sure you'll walk. Nobody can win a decision over Mayweather that I know of so if it happened (robbery of course), I think you could end up walking. I definitely would. I should walk now, but I can't leave knowing that the greatest fighter of all time could be fighting here and now in my day.

        I don't know, I really enjoy watching the sport. The build up to a big fight is fun, I love coming on here hearing what others are saying. And then the excitement the night of the fight when you know that pretty much anything can happen is great. It would honestly be hard for me not to watch. Believe me Diego, I'm pissed about this decision too. I hate it when this **** happens. And I just knew it was going to happen for some reason, as soon as they went to announce the decision it was going through my mind they are going to screw Toney over. And its the politics of boxing because Peter is younger and more marketable for the future, I wouldn't be suprised if it was fixed like that.

          C'mon man try to be a part of the change, a big part of the problem is that we who see a problem with the way things are going tend to part ways instead of tying to make a change...don't let them win!
          Seriously dude, please don't let them win...

            I still dont see how/why Peters is more marketable then the BIG MOUTH, controversial, fairly famous Lights Out Toney.

            If this is all a conspiracy to help further the career of Peters, it makes no sense. Peters is NOT an American, which is who/what we need to push forward now in the heavyweight ranks(Toney would make sense, have him be the American hero that saves boxing from the Soviets) since that sorry ass Rahman couldnt do it.

            Peters is not the quality of fighter to be the next Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis or anything, so why throw away a decent, true somewhat old Toney, for a new guy who I doubt will ever be a biggg name.

            ?? enlighten me guys

                  It's about money. Someone had serious money on this fight and the judges had to be in on it. It's a disgrace. It's happening way too often lately too. Every now and then is a blemish, but this has become atrocious.

                    Couldn't have said it better myself. I've heard guys call Peter the new Foreman, when I myself think the old Foreman could come out of retirement and KO Peter. I do however see the possibility of them thinking that Peter will somehow make them more money than a seasoned Toney. Regardless of that thought, if they really care about the best fights, then why not the best and most dangersous fighters in the ring? Bottom line, I think Toney is not only a better fighter than Peter, but more marketable as well.

                      I dont know man, by serious money you are talkin in the $millions, and I dont know who would put that kinda money on a crappy crap shoot fight like this.
                      I just think the judges are seein things differently, i guess im takin the glass half full approach.
