    If only it were this simple. ranking only mean something compared to the others ranked AT THE TIME. Are you that stupid to think ANYONE ranked #1 is a top fighter? Or that ONE good fight in 4 years (as Shane had) erases those fights he looked bad at?

    Sorry if I don't see things as simple as you do. Boxing isn't that simple, but to noobs like you, there's a nice neat formula to follow. :-(

    1. There's around 4 years between the two fights and Casamayor was old when he fought Marquez in the first place.

    2. Yes, JMM was fighting even with Casamayor up till the KO.

    3. Casamayor was LW champion of the world, Marquez had just moved up to the weightclass.

    4. Several years (and losses) later, Casamayor faces Bradley at 140lbs after Bradley ducks Khan. Bradley dominates Casamayor who then tests positive for weed aafter the fight. Congratulations, Bradley beat an old, hight, Lightweight and now gets a peice of the Pacquaio pie. Weird how he signed for TopRank one fight before that:think

    Personally I feel Mosley was clearly past it for both Mayweather and Pac. I think he had more confidence going into the Mayweather fight then the Pac fight though.

    But he was still rated the #1 WW when Mayweather fought him while Mayweather was accused of ducking him coming off beat down of Margo. Cotto right now is rated the #1 JMW.

    We can argue how shot these guys are or past it these guys are but either they both were/are overrated or they were/are the #1s.

    No **** sherlock. Did I dispute this? Nope.

    Yes he was, again...did I say anything to suggest this untrue? :roll:

    casamayor, just before this, escaped with one of the biggest robberies of the year w/ Armanda Santa Cruz.

    :patsch You moron. You are the one who said this: ":rofl 'Bradley beat Casamayor easier than Marquez" , which he did. Did you even have a point? Or just a failed attempt to be a smart ass.

    Casa, as I said, had NO business at 140. So what's your problem dip****? :huh

    The answer to the thread question: Because for the umpteenth time FLoyd FAILS to get a fight with the best available opponent. Coincidence?

    I have nothing against this fight but it's like settling for a B movie when you could be watching a classic.

    stick to this kind of stuff...this is your strong suit....

    in my real world this happened though

    the oscar that floyd beat was healthy and a legit 154 champ.....the one pac beat hadnt fought at 147 in like 8 years and was a corpse.....

    the hatton floyd ko'd was unbeaten....the one manny ko'd had been ko'd by floyd, nearly ko'd by juan lazcano, and emerged victorious over the very heavy handed paulie!

    the shane that floyd dominate and embarrassed was the top welter at the time coming off of an impressive win.....the one pac beat...well thats been discussed.....

    the jmm that pac looks like **** against no matter what weight/age.....thats the one floyd ****in toyed with and made it look like they didnt even belong in the same universe

    pacs belts at 147 and 154 are jokes......floyd beats actual champs are their weights...

    i think im done here

    bob arum is a pos who is deathly afraid of letting manny get picked apart by floyd...but who wouldnt be after watching floyd statistically dominate a young, 165, southpaw last time out

    :lol: so true, he seems like he could be cool BUT when it comes to floyd and manny he is an annoying whiney *****. he acts as if hes non biased but never gives floyd credit for anything and always picks arguments with floyd fans but he NEVER argues these ******ed Pacfans even tho they say the dumbest **** on ESB and never says any thing negative about pac. he definately has something against floyd.

    So tell me something here.

    Was Cotto a big win for Pac or was it not?

    I'm waiting.:nut

    Because I've always maintained my position that it was the last of Pac's great wins.
    You fanboys, however, always discredit that win and spout tons of nonsense and now you are defending this ****?

    It's an OK fight for me because I actually gave Pac credit, you haters should call this the shittiest fight in years because for you, Cotto has been damaged goods since his loss to Margarito.

    It's mind boggling....... people were jizzing at the thought of Pac Cotto 2 at 147 but when $ chooses him at 154 they are outraged??? Just means *******s hold $ at higher standard than Pac who is coming of a humiliating schooling at the hands of Marquez.


    FACT!!!!

    You are right, Shane probably did have more confidence going into the fight vs. Floyd. Hence his looking good for 5 minutes. But Shane's confidence has been **** since forrest sadly. He gets disouraged WAAY too easily now when he can't do much. Sad, because for all his physical abilities, his great chin, he didn't have it mentally. He became gunshy WAY to easy.

    Ratings are too subjective these days. I go by how guys look in their fights rather then saying "He was #1!" or stuff like that. A guy #1 in a good division is NOT the same as a guy #1 in a weak division, if that helps.

    Do you have a job, where you just sit behind a desk all day? You have so much pent up aggression :rofl Someone needs to take you to the park once a week and let you run around, maybe take a stick or a frisbee for you to chase?

    Pacquaio fights Bradley which is all good in Lance's view :thumbsup

    Floyd fights Cotto, the number one ranked JMW at the 154lb limit. (not 150:think) and Lance has a big moan :|

    Be honest, you came into this thread to post something containing the words 'Floyd, fanboy, and ****.' Just to generally insult really, bless you. :D
