    Like **** he did.

    The only comment he ever made about Tszyu was that he'd fight him when Tszyu was the same as when Roger Mayweather was when tszyu fought him.

    Marquez fought PBF and Diaz, who were real serious threats, not to mention Casamayor and Pac himself. Pac fought JMM and went up in weight to fight Hatton and now Cotto. ODLH turned out to be a shell of himself, but Pac didn't know that going in. Cotto fought Margo and Clottey, both very serious threatening mother****ers with big chances to win.

    You can't seriously claim PBF has taken ANY risks of this nature in recent years.

    Roger called out Tszyu more than Floyd did. He was still suggesting Tszyu was a possible opponent if he came back in a Ring magazine interview within the last couple of years.

    I think Roger is still smarting from his visit to Newcastle.

    Floyd still called Zoo out. Zoo was the champ in 03 and 04 so whats your point. Floyd would have handed Zoo his ass at anytime in Zoo career. rewatch the Roger mayweather and Kostyu Zoo fight and Roger was giving Zoo hell in their. So Floyd would have killed Zoo IMO, 1.

    genaro was good during his time and lost only prior to that to dlh. but honestly man. when genaro fought pbf, he was 32 and way past his prime.

    genaro was good but to insist that the genaro the dlh fought was the same genaro that pbf fought is clearly stretching it. genaro was 29 yers old when he fought dlh.

    genaro was 32 when he fought pbf and retired thereafter. is it not an indication that pbf was genaro last fight and you make it appear that is was still a great win for pbf.

    i am a fan of pac but i don't think morales 3 was a great win for him.

    He can in no way be compared to Suger Ray Leonard! Duran, Hearns, Hagler, Benitez and the list goes on and on. He also fought HAGLER after a 3 yr. layoff!! LOL NO COMPARISON!!

    ehhh I dunno about that.. after the DLH loss Genaro went on to beat Azumah Nelson and a very tough young Carlos Hernandez. Had Genaro continued to fight after the Floyd loss and lost to bums then I would say that PBF beat a diminished Genaro, but he retired immediately afterward so it's tough to say.

    I tend to give fighters the benefit of the doubt where possible so I'll throw Genaro as a super impressive win. That doesn't change the fact that PBF has been doing nothing but counting paychecks and taking the easiest fights possible for the most money since then.

    SPOT ON! Great POTENTIAL but unwilling to test himself! His last fight was like watching the Dream Team take on the world during the Olympics. Except they Could Finish the opponent off in style.

    I was ringside, I had it 9 rounds to two. It was a wider points win that the gap between Rogers surviving fron teeth.

    Well I didn't say Roger Mayweather was robbed but he did put up a competative fight agaist an opponet 10 years younger. Floyd would have beat any version of Zoo, seriously.

    Yeah? Too bad we would never know because that would be too close to his weight.

    If floyd was being judged based on how he looked in the ring, especially such a small dude, he would definitely not be taking a back seat to Pacquiao on the P4P list. Luckily the ring realizes who he just beat was not his best option, or even close to it.
