    yeah floyd has been fighting in-house fights since baldomir back in 2006. that's why we knew floyd has **** welterweight resume or at least could have a good one. so many good to great opponents he missed when welter was waxing hot margarito, cotto, williams and now pacquiao.

    You're right of course. That's the main reason he isn't as high because he wouldn't be a clear favourite over them all.

    In fact i'd put him favourite over casa, zoo, cotto, clottey, williams

    He'd struggle against that version of freitas imo and i've never seen him fight the fight he'd need to have beaten that version of margo. I'm not saying he wouldn't beat him but i've not seen a similar style.

    Mosley destroyed Margarito, and Cotto barely beat him. Oscar that Floyd fought, not the weight drained version that got beat up by forbes mind you, but the one who KO'd Mayorga like he was nothing, would have KO'd both Margarito and Cotto easy.

    And how is Mosley a **** victory for Pac? Every guy he fought was coming off a loss or a beating, what makes Mosley different then Margarito and Cotto?

    the same oscar who roach said that could not pull the trigger while he is training him for the floyd? the same one who gassed out after 7 or 8 rounds?

    mosley was seen as pac's least victory at welter and mosley was the biggest win for floyd at the weight just 1 year earlier. :lol:

    It can do, when they've shown nothing before or since to show they are capable of that kind of perform at that kind of level.

    And you didn't say "surprise", you said "sensational", which equates to "shock".

    Idiot.

    If he beats ortiz i'd have it.

    Hoya
    Hatton
    Ortiz
    Bald
    Mosley
    Marquez
    Judah
    Mitchel

    Compared with pac who would be, assuming he beats marquez

    Cotto
    Clottey
    Mosley
    Marquez
    Oscar
    Margo

    There isn't too much between them but I think pac gets the edge as a ww because he weighed at or below the limit for all these and floyd was 150 v hoya so that gets removed when doing ww comparisons. Plus pac's is in a much quicker time scale.

    I'm surprised not many have realized how much of an art cherry picking is and how adept Floyd is at doing it.

    I've said this many times before, Arum (his team) and Roach are only fledglings compared to Floyd; if you're gonna cherry pick guys whose circumstances are easy to pick apart/criticize, you're doing it wrong.

    Yeah, because Pac fights guys who are a REAL danger to him, coming off of sensational wins, at their optimum weights, and......oh wait a minute...

    Nice to see you post exactly what I was inferring. :roll:

    However each of these fights Pacquiao and Floyd encounter the same dangers, you're just refusing to see it.
