I think they got it right. Floyd earned and deserves the respect.

When I say he earned it, I mean he earned it. No nut-huggin here.
It's not just what Pavlik did, it's how he did it. He destroyed all three of his opponents.
He knocked all 3 fighters the phuk out, put them to sleep even. No one expected this.

Too many people expected Floyd to beat an OLD man and a midget. He did nothing extraordinary. The old man he supposedly beat, came out of that farce OOOPS I mean fight..unscaved.
He beat a midget with help from the ref who took Ricky out of his game and Floyd Ducked below the waist line <----ILLEGAL as phuk... over and over again and then just caught the midget running at him due to frustration. I was not impressed and neither were a lot of people.

Now that ODLH owns the ring mag, It can not be trusted.


And not only did he knock out his 3 opponents last year, he knocked out 3 guys who had never been ktfo before, so that is saying something. I don't recall with Miranda and Zertuchi, but I know JT had never even touched the canvas before much less been put to sleep.

But fair play to Floyd, he won and nothing we can do about it now. Personally I thought Pavlik should have won as he beat the most feared MW in Miranda and also the long standing champ in Taylor, and did it very impressively for that matter. Though, Floyd did make Ricky headbutt the post, which could have affected the voting Pavlik will win this year hopefully, or Cotto, with the way these future fights could line up and if they win.
