Many of Floyds fights have been scrutinized for timing, fighting the older version of fighter X I myself Don't agree with this but that is said a lot. From this point on, all his fights will be him past his prime fighting guys in theirs. Just look at 147-154 fighters that may fight Floyd in next few years. All much younger Garcia,Khan,Matthysse,Thurman,Alexander,Brook,Bradley...... He is forced to do a 180 He was once seen as the prime fighter fighting guys slightly past their best. Now all that is left are prime fighters looking for him when he is past his best.
prime Cotto- he fought cotto- just because he had one loss doesnt mean anything Margarito- the cheater? GGG,? the dude is a MIDDLEWEIGHT IDIOT Cintron? oh please- lol hatton? he gave hatton his first L kosta zhu is probably the one legitimate fight out of the bunch i wanted to see!!!
Floyd watched Margarito do this to Sergio Martinez and decided he wanted no part of that relentless pressure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00GOuS-Utq4
This ^^^^^^^ Because we all know that Martinez was considered the second coming of SRR when Margarito beat him. His name was everyones lips.:-(
Well he should have been afraid of Shane when he destroyed Margarito... He should have been scared to death of Oscar...since Hoya was 3x's the fighter Tony ever was. Floyd is a strange guy....he fears inferior fighters and fights the guys that destroys them instead.
It is not strange it is money. He is looking for the right fight at the right time. Just like now, The best time to take Alvarez, right after he beat Trout. Best time for Mosley after 2 ko in a row one of Margarito. he has had a few fights that were not so well timed, JUdah,Cotto for sure
