That 8th round when Dawson was pressing Ward against the ropes, only to eat uppercut after uppercut was probably my favorite part. Wish I would've taken time off from work to see it in person.
They are now business partners. Pacquiao needs to KO JMM to prove that he's not a past his prime fighter. Pacquiao vs. Mayweather will happen in early 2013.

He's never KO's him before, what makes you think he'll do it in their 4th match up?
All-time favorite boxer. If Floyd was bigger, meaner, lazier, had more power, and decided to fight in a phone booth 100% of the time, he would be this:
Duran is pretty much universally accepted as one of the Top 10 pound-for-pound fighters to ever live... And he is in my Top 5.
Yes, I've always been a fan of Floyd. Yes, I think a prime Floyd vs. a prime Duran would present some very interesting contrasts in style, talents and demeanors.
But, make no mistake... It should be a compliment for Floyd to be compared to Duran, not the other way around.
Duran was past his prime when he physically and mentally beat down a bigger, younger all-time great in Sugar Ray Leonard. He was WAY past his prime and WAY above his natural weight when he was winning belts at middleweight and taking arguably the greatest champion the weight class has ever seen right down to the wire.
