    I provided my reasons WHY i thought that. You challenged it in 4-5 posts only acting like a little **** and not explaining anything.

    I than asked you NICELY again, and you still act likea ****. And you say I only want to argue?

    It sounds like you only want people to agree with you. Grow up little boy...

    Bradley won nearly every round against Abregu.. v_V.. that doesnt seem like a shell of himself.. he still looked good... maybe not as much speed... but not terrible

    Anyone who thinks people didn't want to see Floyd vs. Baldomir after Baldomir beat Judah isn't qualified to comment on this topic. Floyd was called out by the majority of boxing insiders, and the fans wanted it.

    Dude, I have hella respect for Cotto and I consider myself a Cotto fan, but it blows my mind that you would try to state that PBF would retire to "duck" Cotto, when it's been illustrated that he didn't duck Cotto that he wasn't ready for PBF per his management team, furthermore you've seen Cotto beaten down by fighters who are far less talented, skilled, or flat out as good as PBF, why would you say something like that, when in your heart you have to know it's untrue?

    big difference between the dominant Bradley and the bradley that did not look terrible. He looked to me like an average fighter 147 and is one of my favs at 140.

    I think the early rounds vs Mayweather was some of the best I've seen from Judah so I still consider that to be his prime, even if his career has been up and down.

    After getting Ko'd by Tszyu and losing to Spinks in his first fight at 147 he came back to beat Spinks easily, a win better than anyone on Clottey's resume.

    You didn't answer the question btw, how does a narrow points victory over a past prime Judah make Clottey a better scalp than the Judah Mayweather beat?

    For the record I consider Judah a better name on Cotto's resume than Clottey too.

    Do you really get off that much on getting people upset?

    He hardly got hit with anything if at all... pretty damn good for being just an average fighter to me

    Judah wasn't prime. For one welter wasn't his best division. And he'd just lost to Baldomir who was an average fighter. He arguably lost to 38 year old Pineda a couple fights earlier. He did nothing after his loss to Floyd to show he was prime.

    Or is your reasoning that Zab was prime because the dreaded 'Focused Zab' apparently showed up for the Mayweather fight?

    Kostya Tszyu beat a prime Zab. Not Floyd.

    You can't say for certain Floyd did not avoid or fear Cotto.
    He knocked out three Mayweather opps in Judah, Corley and Sosa and beat Mosley in 2007.

    I'm not. It seems to me you like argueing and getting people on here riled up. I could care less what you do I'm just pointing out what seems so obvious to me!

    Floyd's resume at 147...

    Mitchell (Sharmba was well past his best, but a, this was supposed to be a tune up for Judah, who was then champion, and b, Mitchell was coming off a win over Smith that allowed him to secure a rating in his own right. And Floyd dismissed a former jr welterweight titleholder without too much difficulty.)

    Judah (coming off a horrible loss over Baldomir, but was still a two time champion and rated contender at 147lbs. Plus he'd go on to give Cotto a tough fight.)

    Baldomir (Uh...The champion at the weight, whether anyone liked it or not? Baldomir was in career best form, had just beaten Judah and Gatti, and, once again, was the champion at the weight. Floyd beat the champion, and won the championship. Simple as that.)

    Hatton (Let's see, Floyd defeated an undefeated jr. welterweight champion, who had come up and scored a close victory over a ranked former titleholder at 147 in Collazo. You could do worse as far as challengers go.)

    Marquez (Reigning lightweight champion, and considered the second best fighter in the world at the time. Other lightweights historically have been able to come up and do damage in that position. Marquez wasn't. Floyd shut him out and that wasn't just due to the difference in size.)

    Mosley (former champion coming off a victory over Margarito).

    Pretty good quality, all things considered. There were mitigating circumstances to some of these fights, but honestly, he could have done a lot worse. Does it get him into my all time 147 Top 20? Nope. But if he builds on this resume, and beats Pac and a couple more guys, then he's in the discussion whether his detractors like it or not.

    Despite the fans and media rallying for the fight, Floyd took Baldomir completely out of it. That's what happens when class is in session, sometimes.
