    Floyd Cherryweather retires when the biggest threats to his crown were getting close to his narrow ass. He then oppurtunisticly comes back when former feathers move up. He comes back not to fight the lions at his weight but to cherry pick lightweights at catch weights.Love him or hate him,,,,,even his most ardent fans must admit his last few moves have been totaly chicken****! he is in essence affecting great fights that can be made at 2 weights.denying us Pac vs Marquez at 140 and denying his fight vs Mosely or Cotto.

    No one wil argue with that but this is boxing in 2009. The thing though is Floyd seems to be going in reverse. Everyone from JMM to PAC to Vic even BHop have gone up in weight, Floyds doing the opposite, hes the only one.

    We know that Void refused to fight Pac. He also refused to fight Mosely, Margarito, Cotto, Williams.

    So when Mayweather was moving up 5 weight classes and Bhop best wins were coming against welterweights, what was it then? Bhop going in reverse? :rofl

    Calzaghe was not welter, neither was Taylor, Pavlik, etc.

    Yes, so thats what makes my argument even stronger
    Imagine! even Bhops going up, means you should be ashamed of going down

    No its just makes your entire point stupid. Mayweather has been fighting opponents that are bigger then him his entire career. Some of his best wins have come against guys weighing more the 10lbs higher then him during the fight. While most of B hops biggest wins have come against smaller fighters. Even Pavlik was moving up in weight when Bhop fought him. Marquez will maybe weigh 1 or 2 lbs less then Floyd on the night. And outboxed the number 1 P4P fighter in the world twice.

    Try again.

    He fights for checks by his own admission, cherrypicking is a noble job in a brutal sport, isn't it?
