    It's all good man :lol:

    I was joking, because in this thread we keep going over who was ranked on what day to justify how good or not a fight was. It's becoming redundant but that's just about the only argument Floyd fans want to bring up, what's on paper.

    Yeah I know things go wrong in Boxing management wise but for it to wrong everytime the fans in here and at Boxing scene think theres someone that can beat he never fights them.

    I know the actual reason behind the Tszyu one and it is a real Showtime vs HBO more so but the rest could have happened IF Floyd really wanted them. Remember he has more say than any other fighter yet Pacquiao gives you the fights the fans want.

    Tell Me do you really want to see Mayweather vs Judah or Baldomir or Ortiz or how about now Guerrero.

    Come the **** on stop defending him when he has more say on who he fights than any fighter in the history of the sport.

    Not just more say, but is recognized as the best fighter. So why doesn't he clean 'em all out?

    Oh yeah, because some guys don't sell tickets. :roll: Since when is I shouldn't be getting hit like this Ortiz a superstar people?

    So Mayweather moving up to JMW to fight Oscar wasn't a risk to his 0?

    Fighting Judah who was as athelticall gifted as him, faster then him, a southpaw with good power wasn't a risk to his 0?

    Fighting Baldomir who came in the fight 18pds heavier then him at a time when Mayweather could have been fighting at JWW isn't a risk to his 0?

    So Mayweather automatically new he would be able to handle the weight at 154 or Judah's athletism, speed and power. Or Baldomir weight and strength.

    Cheers Mate like ive said to these Idiots Ive been coming here since 2007 and the fights all the bigger fans in here wanted we never got.

    And when we did finally get them we seen Mayweather ***** and complain and then see Farce's like the Marquez Farce which I like Marquez and felt sorry for him.
    Or Judah figh getting signed even though he lost to a B- fighter before or the Baldomir fight was a joke or the constantly not getting the Pac fight (Reminding people it was both Mens fault there). Or the Hatton one getting fought at 147.
    Or the gloves with the Cotto fight its always something with this Guy yet people defend him like he is some GOD.

    Were all here for ones opinion but Im sick of Mayeather and his ****.

    You giving us Guerrero well go **** yourself I wont be watching.

    There are far better fights out there but he will never give his fans what they want.

    Floyd couldn't have gotten the Mosley fight at that time because he was too high risk and low reward especially when Mosley had a shot at Oscar.

    You need to remember Floyd didn't become a draw until after the Oscar fight really.

    and I did want the Judah fight and Ortiz fights. Right when Ortiz won against Berto, I said both Pac or Floyd would deserve props for that fight.

    and the Judah fight was unfortunate for Floyd. When Floyd first signed to fight Judah, Judah was the lineal champion, but he lost to Baldomir. Floyd tried looking around for alternative fights, and even looked at a Winky Wright fight, but couldn't find a good substitute.

    Dela Hoya is the last risky fight he took when was that though 2007. Some 6 years ago.

    But even the hardcore fans know if that fight was 2005 he would have lost his zero.

    Baldomir is a average fighter. Judah lost to Carlos but correct me IF IM WRONG IN ANY WAY.

    IN 2006/07 when Mayweather moved to 147 the best 3 guys at the weight were as Follows not by Ring or what belt they had went like this for us fans.

    Margarito
    Prime Cotto
    Paul Williams

    Now he faced one of those guys but not until 2012.

    If he had as much say as you think he did he would have fought Marg and Oscar back to back but his boss wouldn't allow it.

    delahoya at 154 was a far riskier fight than all those guys at 147.

    oscar had kod mayorga for the jmw belt and floyd fought dlh at a four pound disadvantage.

    Hatton was unbeatable after the Zoo fight and was earning MORE money than PBF. But i think Mayweather would have still beaten him.

    Different story if Micky Vann was the ref....

    Oscar 154 > Margarito 147 and it's not close.

  14. Margarito at 147 would have troubled Floyd, he would of ate PBF's shots with ease.

    :patsch:rofl Floyd said himself he didnt fight Marg bc he was offered more money elsewhere.. he even told Marg to his face that he wasn't a big enough star (quack)
