You wanna silence the PBF fans! Ask them if PBF has the guts what PAC and JMM already did in the PAST. GO UP weight levels UP and FACE paul Williams! Incidentally, fighting PW will require pBF to move ONE level higher! Fighting PAUL Williams is a ****ING risk for PBF to do! he does not have the balls like JMM and PAC!:rofl
that bull**** ring, ranking him that high (#2 p4p spot) after cheating and winning over the much smaller, older and slower jmm is one of the reasons he's ignoring those tough challenges..:blood he doesn't belong in the top 10 after that missmatch fight, that doesn't prove anything imho..
More: "When the people who should know choose to praise a boxer for not meeting real challenges it somehow encourages one to pick safe opponents, to not make the weight limit intentionally, to not even discuss it in post fight interviews, and to demand eight-figure paydays while doing so. What Mosley did crashing the post fight interview may have been lacking in class, but at least he did something. Unlike some of the sportswriters, who not only didn't call it for what it really was, they have practically condoned Floyd's cherrypicking ways for the foreseeable future."
His "tune-up" bout was against the # 2 Pound For Pound fighter in the World. Floyd jumped from 147 to fight De La Hoya at 154 =7Lbs Juan Manuel Marquez went from 135 to meet floyd at 144 Juan came in at 142 (against Floyd) Floyd came in at 148 (against De La Hoya) Both came in under weight, both fought bigger guys yet one beat the bigger guy. Just call it like it is.
He was dead on about Floyd. :good Who was PBF's last fight that pose any real danger? JMM, Zab, ODLH He should have fought the best in his division. He will get my respect if he fights, Mosley, Cotto, Clotey or Marcheato... this will be more of an even fight and not the deck stack against his opponent.
Its his first fight back. The author should hold off judgement til we see what happens next. No one gave Marquez a chance, and if anyone is "skipping over" the weight difference then they clearly know ****
LOL...NOW FLOYD HAS TO MOVE UP AND FIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHTS..AFTER THAT THE HATERS WILL MAKE HIM MOVE TO CRUISER AND THAN TO HW B4 HE RETIRES.. YA'LL FLOYD HATERS MAKE NO SENSE...EVERYTIME HE DOES SOMETHING GOOD YA'LL JUSS HATE MORE AND MORE....I REMEMBER AFTER THE HATTON AND OSCAR FIGHTS PEOPLE STARTIN WITH THE NEXT 1 THAT IS SUPPOSED 2 BEAT UP FLOYD IN THE RING.....THAN AFTER THE FIGHTS PEOPLE WASN'T NOWHERE TO BE FOUND..THIS **** WILL DIE DOWN AND WHEN FLOYD WHOOP ON PAC WHAT PEOPLE GONNA SAY.."MOSLEY WOULD WHOOP HIS ASS THOUGH PAC WAS JUSS TO SMALL".... :bbb
He needs to maximize his earnings now that he's not getting any younger. We can expect him to avoid more dangerous fighters to preserve his winning record and marketability.
