    There you go getting suckered in again..

    You're confusing the games that CELEBRITIES (which Floyd definitely is now) play with the MEDIA with what is actually going on in the world of BOXING.

    People like winners. If Floyd or Nard fought like Tyson, he would be a loser and you wouldn't respect him. You wouldn't even know who he was. Floyd and Nard always come to fight. However, coming to fight doesn't mean slugging it out round after round. This sport is about more than just speed and power. It's also about intelligence and strategy. Please, tell me what Floyd or Nard would gain by becoming sluggers. How would it help them?

    Floyd lost 3 rounds in that fight..once he figured judah out, timed his speed and adapted to his style he beat him very easily.

    That argument has done to death. You saw the fight I presume, but you obviously didn't understand it.

    Zab won early ROUNDS. HE landed FEW clean punches. Mayweather, as a top boxer will do, took his time until he adjusted to Zab's speed and found a style he could use to break Zab down and take him out, which is exactly what he would have done if the action had not been interrupted in the 10th.

    He "should have been adminstered an 8 count", well, too ****ing bad. Zab SHOULD have played fair, and Floyd SHOULD have knocked him out, but **** doesn't always turn out the way you want.

    Its nice that you hate Floyd, but trying to say that Floyd struggled with Zab is ridiculous. It achieves nothing. Why do you want people to think Floyd struggled with Zab?

    Oh my god, you're actually in this thread trying to convince us of the whole "Floyd ducked Margarito" thing?

    Are you people still around?

    This is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. What has Margarito done that makes you think he could handle ANYTHING that Floyd brings to the table? Just answer that question. Name one thing.

    I can't believe it either. Clottey was able to handle Margo just fine with his speed, and Floyd is WAY faster. It's hard to believe the Floyd was ****ing Margo crew is still around.

    He might have been afraid that his knees would give out on him if he tried to stand up at that moment to confront Margo :D:rofl:lol:

    ThunderPuss is obviously a close-minded loser with no objectivity and is content with using such names as "Gayweather" or "Gayrunner" every chance he gets.

    **** off already

    Oh shut the **** up. This board is meant to discuss and debate.

    You are simply trying to press an argument that has nothing to stand on and only trying to cause drama. GTFO with that ****.

    Hmmmmmmm is that what the booin is all about? Don`t tell me you havent heard that? Or is it they boo cause there in awe of seeing two athletes in a boxing match stare each other out maybe throw 1 or 2 but make sure a fight don`t break out cause there going to need there strength for laters on?
    Hatton was his own worst enemy when his plan went out the window. Knackered, i could of farted on Hatton in the 10th and he would of gone over.
    p.s Any Tyson fight is a `war`.

    The two major important factors you leave out to make it seem like Margo is a quality opponent is..

    His wide looping punches which would leave him open for a counter all night long. And his speed, Margo is the slowest puncher in the welterweight division. Both these things combined against Mayweather who is a pin point puncher and very very fast. You are asking Mayweather to kill Margo.

    Slap and run yet it is Mayweather who has the better KO ratio :deal

    Yes, Mayweather has avoided a number of fighters. I think he sees the risk, the money and goes from there. No point in fighting a Kostya Tszyu when the risk is over the reward. Do I agree with it, no, but it is what it is. What can I say . . . he is a good manager.

    Hell no he doesn't avoid the best. Just calm down already; I would be willing to make a bet that he will fight Cotto in late '08. He just wants to make MORE money on the fight by letting some time go by to hype it up. Unless Cotto loses to DLH, they are set for a showdown. If you don't see it then you are blind. As far as Margarito goes,,,,PBF would absolutely murder him and so I would rather have him fight Cotto or Williams
