All those 4 guys are praised to death in this forum and other boxing forums. No questioning their accomplishments.
I think they all got ripped at the time. It's just because the Pacquiao allegations are so recent and because they played a part in the scrapping of the biggest fight in 10 years that people are so critical at the moment. 5 - 10 years from now, when all this is in the rear view mirror like the Holyfield, Jones, and Mosley scandals I imagine it will be looked at the same way. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it had less of a long-term impact because Pacquaio has never been proven to have done anything wrong. It's just a flavour of the month topic because people are angry about Pacquiao-Mayweather falling through.
