Rewrite history? Mother****er Kostya never wanted Floyd. Never. And don't act like Floyd didn't check for Tszyu. He was looking to fight everyone from Shane at 135 to Dlh at 154. He called out Tszyu too. If you were following boxing then which you weren't because your response indicates that you weren't, you would know this you lying scumbag. All you have to do is Google the info yourself *******. Nobody has to provide you with ****.:nut
Tszyu was finished as a fighter when hatton beat him and hatton and his camp have admitted that they waited on the Floyd fight because they didn't feel hatton was ready or relevant enough at that point. Floyd had his sights on the ODLH mega $ fight. It was as much a business decision as a boxing decision, hatton wasn't afraid just smart and knew he was overmatched
Where did I say Floyd was scared of Hatton? I've stated a fact that Floyd was never the man at 140 and that his record at 140 was weak,Brussels,Corley and Gatti. He chose the path of least resistance to a title. Obviously you being a fanboy automatically see this as anti Floyd,where once again the whole world is out to get him. LMAO! Facts are Floyd went to 140 and didn't fight a single top 5 fighter before moving up to fight Baldomir. A fight with either Hatton or Tszyu would have been more impressive at that time than a win of Carlos. Again you say Hatton avoided Floyd at 140,I say I don't remember him doing so,yet you can't seem to show me anything that suggests Hatton turned a fight down. Si thi.
Again I'm not saying Floyd should have stayed at 140. All I'm stating is that the fighters he fought where weak comp and whilst he was at 140 he was never number 1 there. This started a while back with the Pimp when I said Tszyu would have been an excellent win for Floyd yet he didn't think so. So everytime Tszyu is brought up in a thread he starts with the Tszyu was in a weak division not daring a to be great. All the whilst trying to take the focus off Floyd's **** poor resume at 140.
Once again you're asking me to fill you in because you weren't following boxing back then jr. Another poster already confirmed what I said was true. Hatton and his team turned pbf down back at when both were at 140 because they said he wasn't ready. I don't blame him Hatton and Cotto looked awe struck at the demolition job pbf put on gatti as they both sat ring side for that fight. So blame Hatton that pbf didn't get a shot at 140. Next time know what the **** you're talking about before popping off at the mouth because I do. I saw it read it and lived it back then. Hatton did indeed turn pbf down back then and for you to continue down this path of saying he didn't will only lead to you getting further embarrassed.
LMAO you're embarrassing yourself now. Gatti was a paper champion who'd been beaten just as easily by Manfredy. Floyd was as usual looking for the dollar and a belt with the least resistance. Why do you have to defend him to the death? You are a grown man with fanboy stalker tenancies. I'm not disputing Floyd's greatness or his talent or himself as a man. I'm just stating facts.... he was never number 1 in the division....FACT. he fought 3 times against **** poor opposition.....FACT. As for evidence blizzo blizz blizz is a moron.
Can we all agree that Kostya's double knockdown of Zab warmed all our hearts until ggg gives me a similar moment, Kostya will always rank higher in my favorite fighter list.
When he fought Hatton he had only had 2 fights in 2 years, Injuries curtailed his career big time and he realised that he had not got what it took anymore. Hatton was in is prime and Tszyu ran into a wall that night. Hatton as many others have said a prime Tszyu would of beat anyone. The way he was with Hatton in the ring after the fight just made him even more of a legend. Form is temporary class is permanent so they say.
Who cares if he was never #1 in a weak division. At the time Tszyu would have been seen as a great win but in hindsight no one would give him any credit for it
Floyd wanted oscar and settled for gatti. Your making it seem like gatti was his primary focus that's just false
Floyd wouldn't fight a guy that could make him do the chicken dance. That's if Floyd could even do a dance. Floyd cherry picked his resume. That is why he is ****.
