    Ain't that the truth. The guy's a punching bag, yet people want to believe that Floyd ducked Rockgloves at 147lbs to fight Oscar, the much better fighter, at 154lbs with all conditions against him. It's hilarious.

    ***** ain't nobody run anyhwere. Quit trying to convince yourself that your that good of a poster because you're clearly not. For someone who didn't pick Oscar like you said, you sure as hell had a lot of stuff to say negative about PBF leading up to the fight.

    Actually judging him by watching his UStream videos, he's just an average guy who is a bit on the immature side. I think he makes his business decisions based on analysis from his advisors which I'm sure he pays them a lot of money. It's somewhat of a mystery to me as to how he stays fit because the guy eats a ton of junk food, especially candy and other types of sweets. I believe he gets away with a lot of things because he is so physically gifted. Father time may be catching up though.

    Please get the timeline right. Margarito was challenging Floyd when Floyd came to 147 claiming to be the best there. Floyd ducking Margarito had nothing to do with DLH, as he fought him years later.

    Oh **** off. You have no room to say ANYTHING about what you claim I said, you ALWAYS invent or twist my posts, just like you did this one.

    I wasn't exactly saying anything good about Oscar *******. The worst I was saying was it would be boring, with two safety first fighters who don't take risks going at it. Wow..Was WRONG on that one huh? :roll:

    You're just a ****in liar....

    :lol: And yet it happened. FLoyd turned down a couple career high paydays when it involved Margarito.

    I can't say for certain that the Mayweather and Pacquiao bout didn't come off because of what Mosley landed on him in the second round...but I doubt it.

    Another reason could be that he actually just wants to fight once a year...the reason he "retired" was supposedly because he wanted to rest his body. But that still doesn't stop the fact that we have to wait until 2011 at least to see these two greats in the ring. :fire

    if the mosley-mayweather 2nd round was so significant then it would have had a bigger mental impact on floyd during the fight. It only took him to the next level and he just went through the gears on shane. Bull**** post

    Yes, Floyd ducked a heavybag to fight a world class, elite fighter at a weight class he'd never been to, having to wear gloves he didn't choose, among other things. Right.

    Against Mosley alone Floyd made more than Rockgloves has in his entire career. That's a guess, but you're welcome to challenge it. If you're going to talk dollars, it'd be hard to argue with anything Floyd's done given the amount of money he's raking in. Try again.

    :lol: Still, you're timeline doesn't mean ****. FLoyd turned down carer hig paydays for easier work.

    And it just makes him look worse, ducking a guy most thought he would beat. Sad really....

    :patsch

    WHy would I challenge it? And what relevence does that even have? Probably think you're SOOO Smart huh? that's cute! Sorry dip****, my post is true. Floyd turned down career high paydays for a fight w/ Margarito. Yes, Mr. I Love MOney didn't care to get paid more then he had ever gotten paid before if it meant fighting Margarito.

    He was offered a fight w/ Margarito before the Baldomir fight even happened.

    And big deal...winning the lineal title off the worst WW Champ ever is a BIG THING to you? Titles don't make the fighter great, the fighter makes the title great.

    Just because Baldomir held the lineal title didn't make it bigger. As for how much he got paid, there's been different figures thrown around, none of which had ever been confirmed,

    Not fighting Rockgloves has done nothing to diminish Floyd's career. Hell, he outboxed handily the guy who smashed Manos De Plaster.

    Who said it did? It's just what will be another footnote on Floyd's cherrypicking ways.
