Floyd is fighting Pacquiao's leftover obviously, but it's still a good fight.

    Floyd and his fans used to run their mouth and made a big deal about how Pacquiao are fighting Floyd's leftovers.

    Now that Floyd is doing the same, *****s are all getting so sensitive about the **** they threw out being thrown back at them.

    Well, to be fair Pac did dominate Cotto for most of their fight and knock him out.

    Hatton got beaten up by Floyd pretty good, but he also fought Pac a more natural weight after a couple of okay wins.

    DLH only looked shitty in hindsight, most people (experts included) we're picking him to beat Pac based on sheer size, and again, it's not like DLH got mauled by Floyd, he lost a SD in a fairly dull affair.

    Mosley is/was a crap fight I agree. Marquez got beaten, but it wasn't the soul crushing domination that would render one fighter another one's 'leftovers'.

    That said, the leftover stuff is nonsense, fighters lose it doesn't mean they lose everything.

    :patsch You could've used an example that worked there, and that would've maybe been moderately funny. But choosing an example where Duran ****ing demolished deJesus twice after that fight?

    Fail.

    Outside of pac at ww and martinez at mw this is the fight i'd have picked as a fan.

    If he can win here he'll have been the top man from sfw right up to lmw (only missing lww where he was great but fought **** opponents)

    Marquez now has the opportunity to right the wrong against pac.

    If the fight being at 154 makes little difference then why did Pacquiao refuse to fight him there? He wouldn't even let Cotto go to 150.:think

    "leftover" is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Something *****'s invented to discredit Pac's opponents. As if one is not worthy to fight Pac/Floyd if they have a loss (as they would be someone's leftover)

    Truth hurts, Pac has been fighting Arum bums and Floyd's leftovers. Finally, *******s see how ridiculous cherry picking is. Blame Floyd all you want but the only reason this mismatch is happening is one word---Ducquiao. Fight for the fans? I call bull ****.

    This fight is barely interesting. Cotto has tried to become more of a boxer. He'll get schooled if he tries to box Floyd. Cotto better rediscover body work. My guess is Floyd will land more body shots and have a wide UD if not KO. Let's call this fight what it is, Floyd v Gatti II. Cotto is likeable and deserves the pay day but he has little chance of beating Mayweather.

    The term was in vogue and overused to **** when Pacquiao one-upped Floyd in common opponents. A deliberate face-saving little ploy by Floyd's idiot-hordes to diminish the luster of Pacquiao's utter domination over the likes of Hatton (which Floyd managed to KO only on the 10th at a weight not at Ricky's ideal best), Oscar (Floyd barely squeaking by with an SD where Oscar was tapping that azs but gassed out), & Mosley (UD for Floyd, after getting seriously rocked on the 2nd rd).
