    Margarito is a no body huh

    Floyd turned down $8mil + to fight Margarito instead fought Baldomir for way less

    Oscar bragged that he wanted the winner of Margarito-Cotto as his final fight till he saw what Tony did to Cotto. Then he changed his tune damn quick

    oh yeah margarita is a nobody the so called sperstars are scared shitless of

    Haters gonna hate. Floyd deserves the money he makes because he brings it when he fights. He is the pinacle of boxing: the level that most fighters want to achieve. We buy his PPV's because we want to see him, win or lose. Nobody can play a heel like him.
     
  8. :rofl damn ***** brigade out in full force. Floyds resume as of late is weak Ortiz Hatton ghost all had what, 4 fights in total before Floyd? 2 of them against Berto? Oh boy. Then Floyd has to have TMT go scour the Internet for an article on boxing scene from awhile ago to have an excuse on 152. What about 147 and 150? If it was up to Floyd he would be fighting canelo at 147.

    :lol: because he knows he'll feel stupid when he looks up the amount and finds out he got paid 8 million dollars for the Baldomir fight

    I am going to the movies to see the fight $15 bucks on a 20 foot screen. Not a bad deal.

    There are plenty of world champions who have fought hand picked opponents. The real task is finding a champion who have not done this, within there career.

    The optimal time for the Cotto fight was not in 2012 but in 2006/07.

    Cotto was shot even before his encountering with Pacquiao:deal

    And if you look closely on Floyds resume BEFORE he retired, there where many fights that he could have made and gotten bigger credit for.

    Out of all those names you drag up Hatton was the only one in his prime an that at a weight where Hatton looked dreadful against Collazo.

    You can't name a single fighter who has fought at least a top 5 guy in his last 5 fights

    Cotto was never shot. He just was never that great to begin with. Prime for prime, he always loses to Pac, Floyd, and other great fighters.


    Hatton was only in his prime when he outweighed his opponents by a large enough amount and was allowed rough housing tactics. If "dragging him up"( Despite the fact that in shape Hatton outweighs Mayweather by at least 5 lbs) to a weight that he could make easier reduces all his effectiveness, then how good was Hatton really?
     
  15. Who Floyd? Nope because his resume of late isn't spectacular
