I didn't see the fight but that is too bad. Where is the "you have to TAKE the championship" philosophy? A tie, even close to a tie (imo), goes to the champ. Word on the street is Pacquia was way too distracted to have a good fight. He has a thousand other business and personal things going on besides fighting and I guess it showed. He still thought he did enough to win but the judges didn't see it that way.

HAvent paid to watch a boxing match since Hagler/leonard for this exact reason, I believe they gave that fight to Leonard based on "ring generalship" or some idiotic thing like that. I didnt see the fught, but it appears those in the know, are stunned. great set up for a re-match!

I know it was a loooong time ago, but that decision still ticks me off, plus the fact that SRL ducked Hagler for years. </rant> |

One of my greatest boxing memories is of the recently departed Teafilio Stevenson, sorry if I misspelled his name. The olympics were his shining moments to the world. Where did boxing go wrong? I would love to see any of his memorabilia from you boxing collectors. Sorry to take this to a side track.

Just want to add that he was the best technical boxer that I've ever had the privilege of seeing. IMO he would have destroyed Ali.

I respectfully disagree. Ali in his prime was one of the two greatest heavyweights of all time. He could hit like a heavyweight but had the hand speed, footwork and movement of a much lighter man. In his prime I'd take him over just about anyone who isn't named "Joe Louis"; now that would have been a match...

IMO, making it pay-per-view is a major factor. How can you build a fan base if the only way to know it exists is to first pay for it? Put it on cable or over-the-air and I think it would spark more interest.

Not going to lie...the results were probably fixed.
If there was a fix, don't you suppose it would surely have gone the other way? 99% of the time bad decisions go w/ the Champ or the more popular fighter. Manny is a big draw---Why would they want to knock him down? I don't understand it & can't wait to see & score the fight myself.
