    :rofl I read it and it was damn good. Pretty much took a lot out of the thread though cause you answered many questions (or at least probably answered how PBF would have). I'm no Floyd hugger, but the pressure is always EXTREMELY tough on the p4p #1. I think if people are patient the Cotto fight will come (I will say spring or summer of '09). After that who is left? Lets be honest, he would BRUTALIZE Margo, Williams, etc. Cotto is the #1 and only threat imo. It will happen, Floyd is just waiting so that there are more $$$ involved

    Bull****....Gatti was not the best...at the time Vivian Harris was a belt holder and higher up the ladder then Gatti...I remember in an interview when floyd was being owned by some reporter about Harris all he could say Is i dont even know who Harris is...to which the reporter replyed "You mean to say that you dont know who the current WBA (or what ever belt it was) 140 lb champion is????"

    ...Floyd was like...."Aww cmon man....umm...err" **** floyd avoided Harris because AT THAT TIME....Harris was considered a risk and was better rated beter then Gatti..

    10 points for obvious come back... thats not the point.

    The argument that needs to be estblished is that Floyd fought the easiest fight he could at 140 to win a paper belt....at the time Vivian Harris looked great and had only one loss on his record ffs Gatti had 7 losses....

    At that time (before the loss to Maoussa) who was the bigger threat to floyd?? ...clearly it was Harris and Harris was calling Floyd out every day....Gatti was not "at that time" the best fighter or the best belt holder for floyd to face...and flyd ducked him for an easy fight in Gatti...just fact.

    Floyd put Hatton on ***** street, going head-first into a ringpost and eventually tits up.....and for that, I thank him.
    He has been one of the very elite fighters of our era...embrace it, deal with it.

    Your point here is simple and clear, you're holding the Harris fight against Floyd like people are holding the Margarito fight when you know deep inside that a win over Harris would've given Floyd as much credit as a win over Gatti. If you know anything about Floyd then you'll know that he hunts for the WBC title and the WBC champion was Gatti who Floyd fought to #1 contention to get a shot at. Vivian Harris was as credible as a champion as Gatti was, if Floyd fought Harris instead then you'll be talking about Gatti. You're hardly being fair here.

    1) Floyd, you have been universally recognized as the #1 P4P fighter for quite some time now. Why do you feel you deserve this type of recognition? -
    This content is protected


    2) Do you think being #1 P4P comes with certain responsibilities? If not, why? If so, can you name those responsibilities?

    3) Most boxing fans believe that the p4p #1 fighter should always fight the biggest challenges. Would you agree with that?
    This content is protected


    4) Many people believe that you are one of the greatest fighters, possibly the greatest, of the past 10 years. A lot of this praise comes from your utter dominance during your 130-135 lb days. When do you believe you were at your best? - I have yet to fade enev a little. I have been at my best since I was 130

    5) Do you believe your career after 135 (140 & 147) has been as good as 130-135? If so, why? I ask because despite the belts you won at 140 & 147, many people believe the belt holders at the time were very weak champions, while the fighters you fought at the lower classes were elite. Also, it has been noted that you never defended your title while at 140, and you only defended your title once, against a super lightweight, at 147.

    6) Why did you never attempt to unify any weight divisions? What do you say to those who knock you for never unifyiing any weight classes?
    This content is protected


    7) what fighters did you enjoy the most growing up? why did you like/admire them? what did you like about them the most?
    This content is protected


    8) now, i'm sure you are aware of the backlash from the media & fas when you claim to be the GOAT. you tell people you are superior to sugar ray leonard, and even dare to claim greatness over Robinson himself. Why do you make such claims?
    This content is protected


    9) i know i know i know!!! you've won 6 titles, 5 different weight classes, etc...No one takes that away from you floyd. but did you ever consider that all those weight classes didnt exist back then. If they did, don't you think that Robinson would have done the same?
    This content is protected


    10) Would you agree with the following statement? "to be the best, you have to beat the best" (floyd would probably say yes)
    This content is protected


    11) do you believe that in each division the best fighters are always the fighters who currently hold a title? (i hope he doesnt think this)
    This content is protected



    11) from the time you entered the 140 lb division, would you say you fought the absolute best at 140 & 147? Please dont mention the fact that you beat arturo gatti for the belt. every one knows he wasnt the best at 140. at the timme you beat Gatti, most people would have had Kosta, Hatton, & cotto ahead of him as far as being better fighters at the time. Also, I surely hope you do not believe Baldomir was the best 147 had to offer.
    This content is protected



    12) you always like to state that your claims to fame is the fact that you are undefeated with your 6 belts through 5 weight classes. If belts are so important, why not fight the other title holders in your division? is it b/c you dont believe those fights would be lucrative enough?
    This content is protected



    13) it has also been stated by you and your team that you only want the big money fights. Outside of DLH & Hatton, what other fights do you believe can get you 15 million or more? Do you think you can make the same money fighting someone else beside those 2 guys? You are the big draw arent you?
    This content is protected


    14) Hypothetically speaking, let's say DLH & Hatton were not going to fight you again. Would you simply retire b/c let's be real, you will never make that kind of money again. If not retire, who would you fight for another big pay day?
    This content is protected


    15) There are many more questions I could ask floyd, but I'll end on this. In the previous question, you mentioned you would fight (fighter from #14) if DLH & Hatton werent available. If that's the case, why not just fight them now? Because the fact is that Hatton will definitely be available after the DLH fight, but that doesnt mean you have to fight him.

    16) Actually, last one Floyd. Dont you realize that boxing fans all over the world want to love you. Do you realize you can truly go down as one of the greatest? right now, you are no where near the greatest. dont you want to gain the respect of all boxing fans every where. if you do, all you have to do is fight the best. Now, if you believe DLH & Hatton are the best fighters boxing has for you, then you may be delusional. The fans only ask that you be the #1 P4P fighter you claim to be and the GOAT you claim to be. Anyone who holds that title must defend that title by continuously fighting the best the game has to offer.
