C'mon I understand the 18month lay off but you don't have to fight somebody who has only two fights over 130lbs do you?! I'd still say it's called CHERRY PICKING for PBF but who know's he probably picked the wrong cherry?!
Im not singling out Floyd but its so ironic that weight can be a non factor one a fighter that you decide it to be but when it comes to Floyd you use the size card all the time. You did it endlessly with Margarito. One rule for 1 fighter and another rule for your fighteratsch
It's a warm up fight. Considering they are mere lbs apart on fight night anyway. I don't how this is much of a cherrypick. Size differences are part of boxing. People act like the is the first time a smaller fighter fought someone slightly bigger.
People say that 147 was the reason Hatton lost to Floyd. How can that be when Hatton did not add any extra weight to fight Floyd like he did vs Collazo? I never had one rule different for another fighter. If Margo can fight at 147, he can fight there. What you are thinking of is size. If people are going to complain about Floyd fighting Hatton (even though they are equal in size with slight differences) then why not complain about Margo wanting to fight Floyd or even Pacquaio? (He did say he wanted Pacquaio) I don't see you complaining about that.
18 month lay off schmay off, **** the 18 month lay off. Sugar Ray had a 5 year lay off and still beat Hagler. So if Floyd is supposed to be the best of all time, dont you think that he should be topping what some of the previous all time greats did?:deal
Floyd doesn't even believe himself to be the greatest of all time, only you would believe it. It's called promotion. Ray Leonard beat Hagler coming off 5 years? Really. There's that exaggeration again..
I here u on the Collazo thing. You say if Margo can fight at 147 he can fight there but if I remember I am sure you were one of many who kept on harpering on about how Margo dont below at 147 so whats changed your mind now? I never condoned Margo wanting to fight Pacquiao but Floyd should have fought Margo because Floyd was fighting as a welterweight and chose to occupy that division whilst picking the weakest links.
I would never believe it anyway because he can never top what Sugar Ray Robinson accomplished, not even close. Your glossing over the facts man, of course Floyd believes it, he is a fighter, he believes it man, why would he not believe it, he is still undefeated and he thinks nobody can beat him. He believes it because he always finds a way to put down fighters to boost himself up. You need to look at the facts, he is not saying it for promotion he believes that ****. And Sugar Rays lay off was much longer than 18 months so you using that as some sort of excuse to justify Mayweathers actions doesn't sit with me
I've never complained about Margo fighting at 147. If he can make the weight he can fight there. You keep thinking about the size issue we were talking about which was. People complaining about Floyd not fighting people his size, yet wanted him to fight Margo who is bigger than Floyd. Why is it okay for margo to fight the smaller Floyd but its not okay for Floyd to fight Hatton? :nut Margarito had a chance to fight Floyd but turned it down needing his warm up back (Gomez fight). All of ESB wanted Floyd to fight Baldomir, joke or not. He was the champion and would not be considered the champion of the division until he beat him. Margarito should of dropped the WBO belt if he wanted a fight but he never did.
No he doesn't. He doesn't even believe his fight with Marquez is going to be close. He's only promoting it because its PPV. You don't think he's going to admit he's going kick Marquez ass because it's a warm up fight now would you? I don't need to look up anything. He puts down other fighters to get inside their head. You want the real Floyd look at him after the Gatti fight. That's the real Floyd. You are right. Instead of coming back after 18 months. Floyd should wait another year and half like Sugar Ray Leonard and wait till he feels that Mosley (Hagler) has faded enough that he could beat him. Then Mayweather will do exactly what your man Ray Leonard did. You are the only one who doesn't feel Mayweather deserves a warm up fight. This is Mayweathers 4th weight class. He deserves a warm up. Leonard wasn't fighting in his 4th weight class when he came back.
EZE Why is it okay for margo to fight the smaller Floyd but its not okay for Floyd to fight Hatton? SOLID CHIN Floyd was fighting as a welterweight, Margarito was fighting as a welterweight so what exactly are you trying to say to me? that Floyd is smaller? well if this was the case then why the hell was Floyd fighting as a welterweight? why didn't he stay as a light welterweight? its horses for courses, he occupied that division long enough to be seen as a welterweight. Hatton fights at 140 and Floyd has spent the majority of the past 5 or more years fighting as a welterweight, Hatton only recently tried his hand at 147 and looked like complete **** at the weight. The reason why Floyd should have moved down to 140 for Hatton was because it would have made it an even fight. Margo would not have to move down in weight to fight Floyd because they are in the same weight division. Hatton was coming from Light welter so your question has just been answered... If Margo never wanted to fight then why the **** was he in Floyds face offering him a career high payday to fight him???????? You lost yourself at the end of your sermon...
EZE, I agree with the warm up but your warm up should be on your own weight category NOT SOMEBODY who has two fights over 130lbs. If PAC retires and comes back after 18months and fights somebody who only has two fights at 130lbs and fights somebody at the catch weight of 140lbs I'll CALL HIM CHERRY PICKER! BOOKMARK THIS IF YOU WANT!
Void refused to fight Cotto, Mosely, Margarito, Pac. If Void is so good they why not fight the Klitschkos, both in one night. Why won't he do that? Or, just one of them?
Thanks for proving my point. If Hatton didn't feel he was smaller why did he fight at 147 and win a title. Why did he fight Floyd at 147? There would of been no difference. What would of been different? Floyd cuts 7lbs? He's cut more than that and looked good. That doesn't change the fact that Margarito is bigger than Floyd. MArgarito never offered ****. Arum offered him a deal to fight Floyd but it required Floyd to resign with Arum. Arum offered 8 million for Margarito and less money for bigger threats. Why less for bigger threats? Floyd declined. Margarito had his chance and declined before as well. Margarito should of dropped the WBO belt and moved up in rankings to get to Floyd to command a fight instead of holding on the title like it meant something, because it didn't.
EZE No he doesn't. He doesn't even believe his fight with Marquez is going to be close. He's only promoting it because its PPV. You don't think he's going to admit he's going kick Marquez ass because it's a warm up fight now would you? SOLID CHIN I dont understand your answer, I said Floyd believes he is the best in his head. So what makes you think he doesn't if he believes he is going to beat the **** out of Marquez, you've kind of lost yourself there. The Ray Leonard thing I understand so I wont argue that point
