    Where did I say Pacquiao was in danger? Manny has an iron chin and Bradley can't punch. Pacquiao was never in danger and he was never going to be in danger. I think one factor at work here is the Pacquiao fans watching Manny walking through Bradley's range-finding jabs and short-armed body...

    Compubox is just a computer program that counts up inputs by a human operator. There's nothing singularly objective about it. It operates on a punch-by-punch basis instead of a round-by-round basis, but it's just as prone to human fallacy as traditional judging is. The Compubox scoring I saw...

    You know Harold Lederman is 72 years old, right? So if you're going to discriminate on the basis of age then his scorecard and opinions should be invalid as well. Just saying. As for that round 5, maybe you should watch it one more time? I watched it in HD on slow motion just now. Pac did not...

    I think the talk of robberies and fixes are pretty wide of the mark. I watched it on mute and Manny looked slow and inactive for a lot of the fight, and then when he decided to throw he'd put his head down and throw wild arm punches. Bradley controlled distance well, had a good jab going, good...

    I didn't score it closely, but I thought Marquez should've won. I thought he consistently landed the more significant shots throughout the first 9 rounds. 115-113 Pacquiao is reasonable, but the 116-112 was pushing it. The HBO guys made too much of the corner advice. The reason Marquez didn't...

    QUOTE (allaboutthesox @ Jun 8 2010, 07:42 PM) Bolded Comments I guess my question would be: What did you expect of Cotto after the 2008 loss to Margarito? He went out and fought for the vacant title (WBO vs Jennings) and was scheduled to fight for the IBF belt (stripped of Clottey before the...

    QUOTE (Gene Conleys Plane Ticket @ Jun 7 2010, 11:15 AM) I also thought Cotto got tagged a bit too often. Maybe he just didn't care because even a two-legged Yuri can't punch his way out of paper bag, but given his history, it just seemed to me that his defensive liabilities are as bad as ever...

    QUOTE (ElUno20 @ Jun 6 2010, 10:05 AM) As everyone who watched I was impressed with Foreman's toughness. As impressive was Arthur Mercante Jr. A ref with some logic and sense of awareness? Whaaaaa? Cotto should stick at 154 and stick with Manny as his trainer. He looked better physically at...

    Nate Campbell is another guy who has been very good in a couple of FNF guest spots. Probably not a big enough "name" though. I never would have come up with the FMJ idea, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you look at the lineage -- Leonard, Foreman, Jones, Lewis -- all guys with high Q...

    QUOTE (PrestonBroadus Lives @ May 8 2010, 10:32 PM) Not a big surprise really, he was never very good at his job. Kind of a shame I guess, anytime I've heard someone talk about him, they'd always say how lucid and intelligent he is away from the camera. I always thought Lewis was actually...

    QUOTE (mabrowndog @ Apr 27 2010, 09:34 PM) Can't believe I'm the first to post this in here... You'd believe it if you'd watched (or God forbid, paid for) any of his fights.

    QUOTE (ElUno20 @ Apr 18 2010, 12:09 PM) Does Kelly really want a rematch with Martinez? I mean really? The only guy more heartbroken than Kelly was probably PWill realizing he has to fight this guy again. Really impressed with Martinez. Two fights giving up massive age, reach, and size...

    QUOTE (PrestonBroadus Lives @ Apr 11 2010, 06:25 PM) I disagree with the first half of that statement. Standing and trading against gatekeepers may serve Berto well, but against the upper echelon, it'll get him starched. Keep in mind that questions still remain about Berto's chin. I think...

    QUOTE (ElUno20 @ Apr 11 2010, 09:58 AM) Good call Preston. I was impressed with how Berto battled through and closed the show in a tough fight while being injured. What I continue to be alarmed by is his lack of any type of game plan. He has simple gone out there with the intention to when...

    QUOTE (Gene Conleys Plane Ticket @ Jan 19 2010, 11:02 PM) If Floyd-Shane goes head to head on PPV with Manny-Clottey, that's a no-brainer. The Pacquiao fight gets destroyed. Arum gets his mouth shut and Floyd/Golden Boy/Richard Schaefer get their revenge. Kind of seems like an opportunity...
