    Even today there are certain opponents Floyd has always respected or will respect. He did seem to hold back on Marquez, only some light joking, but there was nothing personal or any bad blood. Same seemed with Cotto,at first, but towards fight night tensions grew pretty high. I guess he knows for grizzled vets like Barrera or Morales that wouldn't of have really worked for him vets know how to handle their business. Young guns like Ortiz, or fighters known to have been broken down like Cotto, Floyd won't have mercy and try to get under their skin. As for MAB going for Floyd, if pushed came to shove I don't think he'd care if it was a Klitschko to be honest!

    Then Floyd is a 130lber then if you gonna to make lame excuses. Hatton walks around 170 and fought 140 over 40+ fights while floyd was barely a WW at the time and Hatton was heavier on fight night.

    No matter how it ended. He still signed and fought Ortiz so ur just dumb.

    And Judah being upset doesn't mean he is not in physical prime. Guys in prime is still beatable.

    One thing I've learned observing in my years of being a boxing fan, is that punching Erik Morales is the worst plan possible....in the ring, out of the ring, whatever.

    It just charges his batteries more. :yep

    But Marco's head movement right after landing that blow was so fast that the camera can't keep up with it!
