    Well, he probably could have beaten your avatar (John Ruiz).

    So if that is the case why didn't Pac fight him at 147 instead of Cotto or ODLH? Answer that.

    The thread starters "5 years ago" theory was a terrible example. 5 years ago Shane was struggling to come back from 4 losses.

    Where's the proof that he's the most gifted fighter in the world? I know he makes it look pretty, believe me I know he's good. But Floyd has never fought a fighter close to as good as Shane was 5 years ago. Shane is an old ass man now, that's just a fact.

    Losses against fighters Floyd couldn't beat.

    You're right - all have failed. Floyd was masterful in his victories over Freitas and Cassamayor at 130, his victory over Tszyu at 140, and his victories over Margo, Cotto, and Williams at 147. Oh, wait a minute, Floyd never took those fights. My bad.

    Are you serious? He's an undefeated champion with six championships in five different divisions. Also, he is 33 year old. Many Floyd haters are writing this off as a fight between a young gun and an old fighter. There's a 4 year age difference!!! This is not a 27 year old Rocky Marciano against a 38 year old Joe Louis. This is a fight between two boxers of the same generation. One is a few year older than the other. :D

    I think we both know that the only fighter you mentioned that would have given Floyd any problem at all was Williams. Margo? Cotton? Get the hell outta here! They've both had their arses handed to them by slower boxers with half the skills. Tszyu? Please. I like him, but he got out at the right time...after a glorified club fighter named Hatton kicked his butt.

    Because old age and year and a half layoffs are good for fighters, right?

    Seems to me that the TS thread has backfired on him.
