The point is PBF did not fight Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Clottey, Margarito. If PBF really wanted those fights, they would have been fight but he is primarely business man.The money for some of these fights would have been huge and so would have been the respect for PBF. Look at guys like Mosley, Cotto and Mosley.They just fight the best beacuse the want it bad. I am pretty sure there are some hurdles to overcome to get those fight made as well
good fights equal good money...if noone wanted PBF and ODLH why did 2.2 mil people buy it???....Floyd would destroy and embarass margorito for 8 mil instead he fights ODLH for 22 mil and he would best cotto too...cotto never pushed for a fight...he did beat 2 legit ww's...there is no reason to fight clottey or berto for him...margo cheated...so it now leaves the winner of cotto pac and he will fight the winner...he has too
Ridicoulous, PBF ducked Cotto, Mosley and Williams because he was scared the "0" would go because he is on a disgusting egotrip. Reality is, nobody scares if the "o" goes, we just want the supposed best fighter in the world fight the best opposition. I would pick Cotto over PBF on the basis of how poor PBF did against Castillo.Williams has a shot to outhustle him and Mosley a shot to overpower him.
they would do the same thing if they were in floyd's shoes...cotto has said over and over he doesn't control who he fights...when he lost to margo he lost a big bargaining chip and had yo win some fights against top guys to gain back some cred and get a big payday....floyd doesn't lose so he will always be in control and he will fight pac or cotto...just like he fought corrales at 130, JLC at 135 and gave him an immediate rematch, gatti at 140, and he wanted zab judah at 147 who was #1 at that time...then he fights the 154 champ and the 140 champ....now he is fighting the lw champ and p4p #2 in a TUNEUP!
I agree that the JMM is decent fight for a comeback fight. PBF has to catch up and fight the elite of the WW division.PBF has been a WW for a long time now and it is time to fight the best. Look at RJJ, to this day everybody is still holding back against him that he did not fight DM
wow...he was injured and beat JLC in the first fight...then he beat him easily in the second...and JLC was at that time better than cotto now at least just as good...so everyone that PBF didn't fight would beat him but all the alleged bums he does fight he destroys....he will fight cotto if he can beat a man who is the same size as JMM (cotto is bigger than PBF by alot) and the "0" will not go....lol shane would overpower him hahaha...I thought it was margo who would do that but his fans just disappeared
he did fight ODLH at 154 when ODLH was inspired and coming off a win against mayorga in brutal fashion and outweighed him by 13 lbs...but he gets zero credit for that
But they give Pac credit for fighting an Oscar that didn't have a title..coming off a TOUGH fight against Stevie Forbes in which his eyesocket was fractured.
The hate will never stop. Its irrational hate too. Couple points i find interesting. 1) Why do people bash on Floyd so much, but give a free pass to a cheater like Molsey who took steroids? Would people overlook Floyd if he cheated? Hell no. 2) Why do people always say he ducked Maragrito? Instead of fighting Marg for 8mil, he got out of his contract with Arum, becasme his own boss, fought the lineal champ at 147 for 8mil, got a new world title, which led to him securing the the biggest fight in boxing history. I mean how can people not see that simply the best thing to do. 3) Why is it that everyone says Floyd ducked Mosley, but all the haters conveniently forget, or just simply ignore the clear video of Mosley offering some pathetic excuses as to why he didnt wanna fight Floyd after Floyd ":CALLED HIM OUT". Floyd didn't hide behind his fans or promoters and let them talk for him (like Cotto), he called the man out himself. Floyd haters fall into 1 of 3 catergories. If you're a Floyd hater please choose one. A) I hate Floyd becasue im racist. B)I hate Floyd not becasue Im racist, but becasue It just irks me to see a cocky black man talk trash. C) neither of the above, I just dont know anything about boxing, can't appreciate skill, and think all fighters should just charge in face first like Margacheato and swing wildly.
Look it was ok to fight ODLH because he is an ATG and he fought him at 154 no disrespect for that. Hatton ok it was a low risk match with high reward and the guy was calling out Floyd all the time. But after this bull **** with the retirement. He retired to avoid Cotto Margo and the other big WWs in their prime. I respect Floyd but he hasn't fought a real live WW and I'm not so sure he is going to do it. Let's hope.
Look maybe is complicated for you but not everyone is obliged to share the same opinion as you and to love Floyd. I don't hate him for example just I want to see the best fights and I don't care how much money he is going to make from them because I'm just a fan.
