there's an article about the b-hop victory though, check the table of contents:
As far as $$$, Hopkins has been on the cover numerous times and he is one of the more recognized fighters in America. I think a cover celebrating a historic win is a story people want to read. People love to hear things about some old man accomplishing something amazing.
I never liked when the Ring runs negative front covers. I don't see how that can increase sales. They did the same with Mayweather once or twice and I felt the same back then. Unless it's some juicy scandal or something, negative stories (or opinions really) should be on the back burner to positive, inspiring stories. IMO.

The only thing I don't agree with, though, is that Nigel Collins stated a few months ago that he thought Pacquiao-Márquez III was garbage. And personally, I find it as Pacquiao's most intriguing fight since Cotto back in November 2009.
Neither Clottey, nor Margarito, nor Shane deserved a fight with Pacquiao. Márquez has at least earned it and has a style that gives Pacquiao problems.
I cannot deny that Pacquiao's last three fights were dumb, though.
His last phenomenal year was in 2009 where he crushed too high-profile, highly-ranked fighters via KO and TKO.
Since then, he's taken on fighters who shouldn't have been in there with him based on past fights.

This break down probably doesn't help since you have Pac goggles on.Last edited by deejd; 06-30-2011, 11:56 AM.

If Floyd could even get down to 140 again. It wouldn't be an even match, unless Floyd carries the weight horribly. If Floyd carried the weight and had moved like the Gatti fight, Marquez gets the biggest one-sided beating of his life. Floyd at 140 let his hands go and still couldn't be touched, Marquez would look like a play thing. Floyd never showed mercy below 147.
Everything from Pacquiao above 140 is a sham. Catch weights for title fights, pruned up zombies, fighting against a punching bag, and beating on a shot to shyt old guy who drawn against Mora.

What I fail to understand is how people can so easily over look the same things that was considered unacceptable for Money Mayweather. Here we go again. JMM was ineffective when he fought FMJ, yet team pacquiao wants the catchweight limit to actually be higher than the one for the Floyd fight. Failing to meet up with any of the fellow champions at welterweight, is simply unacceptable. He ducked Mosley when he was the champion. His team found an excuse that they think is valid, in order to duck Andre Berto. If Pac's stinkin' up the joint, then someone has to say something. Quite frankly, if the people continue to hold him up as the P4P best, then I'd have to say that the sport of boxing is in bad shape.
