    I only have a problem with the bolded part, due to He couldnt have ducked Barrera, they were never within 2 weight classes of each other, He received the same money w/ not contract extension requirement to fight for the lineal championship instead of Margarito (cant call that a duck), and it has been well documented that he repeatedly called out Mosley and De La Hoya early in his career, and he and Cotto were with TR at the same time Arum could have put them in the ring together anytime he wanted, but never did (again not a duck)

    Other than that i too prefer PBF to Money May

    I know but I was in the moment and knew it was quite a stretch with the Barrera comment, but I was writing extemporaneously and went with it. Oh well not everything I write is perfect.

    Prime Morales nor Berrera where ever in contention with floyd, let alone the same weight class.

    Floyd never ducked Margarito nor cotto, this was due to bob arum under his own admission. The split and the fights not happening was all due to money, it had nothing to due with margarito.

    Shane declined to fight Floyd at 135 but instead moved up two weight classes to fight Oscar.

    So when you say you were a fan of floyd's its pretty hard to believe with so many discrepancy in your post.

    So in other words, hating trumps accuracy and truth.

    You forgot ONE important detail. DLH was so dehydrated his body refused to rehydrate coming into the fight weighing less than Pacquiao.

    ? Oscar had Forbes, then dragged Manny up and paid for it.

    Was you even a fan of the sport back then? Well it was before the circus act that is the showdown between Floyd & Manny, so I doubt it...

    Oscar was having so-called "easy" fights to get back into the big time, and it backfired.

    Did you even follow the sport back then?

    Like I said earlier it was late at night and I got carried and yes stretched the truth a little, but its not that much of a stretch to say Barrera Morales and Mayweather could have fought in the early 2000"s since they were only separated by 5 to 9 pounds.

    Doesn't fight outside of his hometown with his personal refs and judges..:lol: He cherry picks, and have his own personal, professional, refs and judges that also do other fights, and he cheats his opponent.. But he is so skilled and could have been one of the greats.. That makes 0 sense...
