    Another convenient excuse for your Fraud hero. Why a lightweight and not a welterweight? He chose Marquez because he's absolutely sure he can win. I won't be surprised if he used ring rust as excuse for losing if ever Marquez can make a miracle.

    How can you blame someone coming an 18 month layoff to not go for a gaurenteed win?


    Look at Cotto's comeback fight after he fought Margo. Why aren't you knocking him for fighting Jennings for a title in a gauranteed win?


    Or Mosley fighting David Estrada after Vargas? Both of these were coming off 8 months since they last fought.

    Why didn't they fight good people?

    It's stupid to hate on Floyd for not fighting Mosley or Cotto after 18 months off of boxing.


    If Mosley was coming back from an 18 month layoff and decided to fight Floyd you would praise Mosley but **** on Floyd for fighting a rusty Mosley.

    My question which you continually kept on dodging is: Why did Floyd choose to fight a lightweight and not welterweight? :huh

    Because he's preparing for Pacquaio or because look at the list of top WWs.

    Let's look at the WWs.

    Cotto and Clottey both taken.

    Berto is taken.

    Williams in a comeback fight?


    Mosley declined a fight in Febuary with Floyd.

    Void refused to fight Pac. Roach is correct. Void is afraid of Pac.

    Why not undefeated Timothy Bradley of junior welterweight or Quintana? Or, why not Pac? He could have waited one day and Pac is his according to Roach.

    The question here is why did he choose a former lightweight to fight?

    Why not fight the 2nd best fighter in the world?

    Im failing to see whats wrong with that.

    They didn't have to wait one day to fight Pac.

    First Floyd would be stupid fight Pac after this long of time.

    And Marquez-Floyd were negoiating for quite awhile. They are just hyping the fight that Floyd was scared of them and he had to wait.

    IT doesn't work like that.

    Floyd and marquez was signed days before the weigh in.

    Yeah Arum said Cotto wasn't ready. Tszyu showtime, eh...ok.

    But Hatton and Mayweather couldn't come to terms although its quite possible that Hatton was the more hesitant, I would never expect Mayweather to fight in Manchester.

    Void will only fight on his own territory, with his referee, judges, commentators, etc. I would like to see him fight in neutral territory for a change. A level playing field for both fighters.

    Hatton's own father said they weren't ready for Mayweather yet.

    Yet he got the decision against Oscar, even though Oscar has the Judges in his back pocket. Nice try sir.

    If your basis is in P4P ranking, why did he consider Hopkins who is the 3rd best in that world. My point is he should fight somebody his size. Floyd is a natural welterweight, I don't see any meaning for him to fight a former featherweight. This is a complete mismatch.

    Floyd is not a natural welterweight.
