    people knock pacman for the clottey fight, but he had come off a very good win over judah, and very good performance vs cotto so considering floyd was fighting shane, and cotto had just lost o pac there is noone better he could have faced.

    i think pacs best win at 147 is vs cotto, and floyds best win at 147 is vs shane. both are equal to me.

    So ****in what? You think that matters today? If LINEAL was so important to Floyd, why didn't he fight Hatton for his lineal 140 belt?

    A belt is only as good as the fighter. Baldomir hasn't done squat before OR after his belt. Margarito was not only seen as thew tougher fighter, but defended his belt for years against TOP 10 RANKED fighters.

    Floyd won his belt from the worst WW champe ever. How much of a legacy is really in that?

    BTW, your football analogy doesn't hold water.

    So then this vacant belt Pacquiao's fighting for is as good as... nothing? As good as the banned cheater that he's facing? As good as Margarito's last win over nobody? What about the belt he won from Diaz? How good was that one? Definitely not the top guy in the division, so what does that belt mean?

    Another example of Floyd selecting opponents at the proper time. Floyd saw Hatton is vulnerable at WW, so he chooses to fight him.

    Jr Claimed He would K.O Leonard yet I don't see the equivalent of a Hearns Or a Hagler or a Duran or a Benitez on his record. Someone point them out to me! No . He ducks fighters at there peak, there is no if or buts about it. He was called a coward on national TV .Why. Because he is hoping Pacquio's hot streak will go off the boil. Jr is hoping in time people will only look at his record on paper. Times have changed Being chicken **** will be recorded on the net for all time.all time.

    It's a vacant belt. What more do you expect me to say? If he wins a vacant belt, and defends it successfully, it gains credibility.

    WHo gives a fiuck about the belt he won from Diaz. Who's hyping it up? We all know who the real champ was. Wasn't Diaz. Besides, no one called Pac the REAL world champ at 135.

    :lol: Manuel Gomez, Kermit Cintron, Six Heads Lewis...a regular murderer's row.

    Nice strawman argument with the Hatton thing. Just b/c he doesnt have EVERY linear belt (sorry, only has 130, 135, 147, very poor resume this guy has :rofl), that means the ones that he has are null and void. Child's play.

    From when you said a gifted decision to DLH I knew you had an agenda. Is that result even still be debated.

    But the icing on the cake was when you said he ducked Cintron and Berto.

    You do know he tried to fight Hatton at 140 and Hatton said clearly in an interview he wasn't ready for Floyd but maybe in the future.

    When the future came Floyd was already fighting at WW

    You do know that presenting cold hard facts to the Mayweather haters is like Kryptonite.

    Watch them ignore the video of Brian Kenny saying Mayweather must fight Baldo because he beat Judah or it look like he's ducking.

    GREAT POST! Like in my other thread. FMJ has a very interesting way to duck his potential threat. He either retires or goes to a vacation.:lol:

    and he has the GUTS to call himself GOAT:!::patsch and the funniest thing is that some FMJ fans agree:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Before Margarito turned into Margocheato he was fighting guys like Cintron in between fighting guys like Paul Williams (amazing he beat cheato)...Cotto was fighting guys like Quintana in between fighting guys like Mosely, Cheato and Pac....'Lesser extent' means just that, Floyd avoided anyone in their prime, guys like Cintron or Berto...

    And I've already stated I was rooting for DLH...Would have loved to see it when DLH was in his prime....
