Serves him right too, greed is a terrible thing and it's just robbed him of what probably would have being a convincing win over a true all time great... Maybe even a top ten atg, now all he has is smoke, mirrors and Diego Corrales.

Yup, even though it was a robbery if Floyd were to beat Pac in the future it would have nowhere near the impact on his historical standing as it could have. Could have been the biggest fight in history but I think people now realise that Pac has started to slip.

He beat Bradley easily tonight but he was still pretty poor, similar level to what he was against JMM last time out.

I don't know mate I'm away at the moment. The consensus appears to be PAC was robbed but regardless Mayweather just lost a hell of a lot of credibility there. Greed is the most disgusting quality in humans and as the poster boy for it mayweather deserves this. Mayweather - Bradley... Whose going to stay up for that.

i wonder is boxing changing in this regard...i mean look at chisora going in against vitali...brit fans or casual fans largely seemed to ignore the helenius fight....and that too was a bad decision
so..as it was a bad or close descision, i wonder if manny wins the rematch and mayweather then happens, would it be highly regarded ?

i kinda agree with you, but pacquiao was/is a much more highly rated fighter than chisora, manny and floyd are both arguing for best p4p in the world, where as much as i like chisora and hope he batters haye, im gonna be at upton park, he at the time wasnt even considered world class... i feel when your not on the world stage, you can overlook a decision like that... but fighters like manny are expected to win every fight they take part in, where as del-boy we where just hoping he does the uk proud, while hoping for miraculous, johansson patterson or rahman lewis type like win lol i had pacquio winning 116-112, but he shoulda got bradley outta there...

ok, how about maybe lennox lewis v mike tyson as an example of how a fight can still be massive in similar circumstances ?....lewis had just come of the loss and win against rahman..and the loss was a ko loss.
from wikipeadia - " It was the highest-grossing event in pay-per-view history, generating US$106.9 million"

Financially yes a Pac Mayweather fight would still be huge, but there would be doubts had the fight had happend 3 years previous , would the result have been different , similar with Tyson Lewis.[
