One thing in Boxing that makes me laugh...

[Deanrw]

The way after a fighter beats his opponent the oppenent suddenly becomes shot. Like before a fight, nobody was saying he was shot and some were picking him to even beat the fighter. Yet when the fighter destroys the opponent, they're all of a sudden shot. LOL. Seriousley, it baffles me.

Mayweather-Gatti and Hatton-Castillo are a couple of examples.

Gatti was "shot" long before Floyd got to him. He had very little left in the Ward trilogy and that pretty much emptied his tank as far as true championship caliber goes. His name kept landing him fights, but his best days were far behind him.
