WHERE ARE ALL OF THE "PAC IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME FANS!??"

Some people only thought that Pac was the P4P best because they hate on PBF!! That wasn't a dive...He got KOd the fuck out!

This recent issue of Ring magazine has it right! They ranked the top 100 fighters(current) and have PB4 as #1 where he should be!

Hey..I didn't make the fight. Watched it at home...

I'm a Manny fan, but honestly thought that he lost all three of the previous encounters. I find myself happy for Marquez. He deserved it.

I said this and got lambasted.

Manila was a poor choice of venue for that speech

Arum is a fraud. He said the other day that a Pac vs Juan 5 would be a bigger fight than Manny vs PBF. Dude has lost it! PBF vs Manny..even now....is still the one that people want to see....Arum DOES NOT want to put Manuela in the ring vs PBF.

Manny is not a fighter anymore. He is a politician/singer/actor/boxer. He got KO'd by a fighter.

This looks like a damm good card if they can make the Canelo v Trout fight on the under card.
(One of my boys just asked if I want to go...but I am headed to Thailand next month and not sure I want to blow any more vacation days so soon after.)

Wow...another Filipino got exposed. More focus and less "profiling!"

Trout vs Canelo will be the best of that bunch IMO. That would have been a blockbuster night if it would have been on the PBF May 4 card as it was scheduled to be....

Tough call. I am favoring Canelo just because of his power(though Trout has great defense.)...I think Canelo is going to get hit like he hasn't before and I can see him losing. Trout has to treat this(like his last fight) as the shining moment of his career. He may never get this chance again.....Just looking fwd to a great fight!

The judge who went 118-109 should never be part of a fight again. The 116-111 spread seemed too much for me as well. Trout never seemed to have his legs all in order whether it was tangling with Canelo's or just having them way wide from lunging. It always looked like he was stumbling especially on the knockdown. If he doesn't twist his ankle there he doesn't go down. It was entertaining to watch the two styles clash. It's too bad that we pretty much knew the result after the 8th round scores were told.

On the undercard the Figueroa-Cotto fight seemed fishy to me. Figueroa was landing some good shots, but the way Cotto went down was odd. Figueroa caught him with a body shot in the corner, didn't look like Cotto was going down from it, but Figueroa didn't go in for another and Cotto went down after a delay. I know body shots for knockdowns aren't instantaneous, but Figueroa clearly could've thrown a couple more shots before Cotto fell.
