You're kidding? Maidana and Ortiz held legitimate titles at WW. Guererro was a top 10 WW when he fought Floyd Im thinking more along the lines of Randall Bailey(Current form), Ashley Theopane,Soto Karrass and Josesito Lopez Mayweather gets a hard time for fighting who he does fight. Imagine if he fought those guys!
Only one of them is a cherrypicker. Wlad always faced every mandatory fighter, and never ducked anyone. This is the opposite of cherrypicking
Meh. You've been brainwashed by American boxing media/Ring magazine. Wach, Lepai and Mormeck are crap opponents but these guys really aren't much better. Guerrero... had a very close fight with Berto and struggled with Selcuk Aydin. His resume at WW stinks Ortiz again had a very close fight with Berto to get his shot at Floyd, has since been knocked silly by Josesito Lopez and Collazo Maidana beating Broner at WW doesn't mean a great deal. Broner struggled badly with semi-retired Paulie Malignaggi. Lost to Khan, Kotelnik, shutout by Devon Alexander Has Floyd ever fought a legit WW? Or just guys dragged up from LW/JWW? Legitimate titles...really? In facing Haye, Wlad has shown more nuts than Floyd ever has or probably will
I remember when he pulled out of his fight with Chisora citing an arm injury only to be seen enjoying a spot of golf days later He has clearly avoided a few guys at HW
Guys move up in weights...you do realize Floyd himself started at 130 right? What defines a "legit" WW? Guys like Pianeta,Wach,Mormeck and Leapai were not even top 20 fighters let alone top 10. Coupld you imagine ANY of them picking up a legitimate world title? If I was going to do what you just did, I could say Haye had struggled against a shot Valuev, and beaten washed up Ruiz and Barrett. See how easy it is to denigrate a fighter if you're trying to? Also is Haye a "legit" HW??
The Mormeck win is as good as Floyd's over one of his many over old shot fighters like Mosley. Mormeck has a strong case for making the HOF due to being one of the great CW champions of all time.
I like the "Wlad never ducked anyone" line. He got pasted by two scrubs in Puritty and Sanders and then had to get his big brother to fight his rematches for him. Mayweather and it isn't remotely close. Plus Floyd never defended his belts against a cancer patient or a forklift truck driver.
Wlad would have had to dominate a stacked HW division to have any chance of passing Floyd in that department who has been a world champion in so many different weight classes, beating multiple Hall of famers along the way.. Ducking has nothing to do with this, a resume is based on fights that happened, and its clearly Floyd... Not to mention, Wlad has not beat every man he has ever fought, Floyd has.
What??? Moselys previous win was DESTROYING Antonio Margarito. Mormecks previous fight was scraping a SD against Timur Ibragimov. Mormeck hadnt held a title at ANY division in 5 years when he fought Wlad. Wlad fighting Mormeck would be similiar to Floyd fighting the Hatton thar Senchenko beat
Name one champion that didn't carefully choose his opponents ? That's like saying that Marciano is irrelevant because he didn't fight Liston... How would've that ended for ol' Rocky ? Badly... So the cherry picking thing is really the banter of the hatas. I mean SRL was definitely a cherry picker and Tommy Hearns in the later part of his career... so the Cherry Picking scenario really has no meaning when you've fought everybody and won !
The people who voted Vlad are probably from Ukraine or Kazakhstan. Trust me, they know what the reality is. Floyd's win over Oscar alone is worth more than Vlad's best 3 wins.
You're on crack ! Haye has no balance and no footwork that can protect him against anybody his size.. Hay has never had a trainer who could box and it's so obvious. Also, Brit to even compare Haye to Money shows me an unprecedented bias. Even my 5 year old Grandson can see the difference. get real ! I truly believe you are smarter than this...
Sorry I was wrong ! You're not that smart ! My bad.... You're comparing Khan, Haye & Mormeck skills to a Mayweather... This is truly hilarious ! You've played yourself....
