Hagler Fought At Middle His Whole Career. Why Should GGG Leave?

You keep bringing up that PBF never fought Zoo as if it's his fault and he ducked Zoo. I'm setting the record straight before your blatant lies infest the forum. Two different networks neither was a big draw = duck for only one fighter. That's how your logic works. You also love to leave out the fact that Hatton turned PBF down at 140 and Bob Arum wouldn't let Cotto within 2 time zones of PBF back then. Too bad for you I won't let you forget that.:hi: Like I said earlier instead of crying about it and complain about not getting big fights PBF moved up daring to be great to 147, something Zoo never did.

 

No what I'm bringing up is the fact Floyd came into a division and fought the weakest championship opposition available.

oh and Henry Brussels

 

You mean like you never refuted this post in the other thread.:hi:

PBF didn't stay at 140 long. Hatton wanted no parts of him at 140 the division was dead he couldn't get big fights Arum wouldn't let Cotto within 2 time zones of PBF so he unlike your hero GGG he didn't sit around and cry and complain about being ducked he dared to be great and moved up yet again to fight bigger names and better fighters. Like I told your dumbass earlier in this thread a GGG fan should never mention PBF's name again, when will you learn.

Lastly, you mean like Zab, Oscar, Hatton, Mosley, Cotto, Canelo, Maidana and Pac? Those Contenders???? Anyone of those P4P speaking would be by far GGG's best win on his can filled resume. If GGG had fought and beat guys on that level we wouldn't be talking about this right now he'd already be an ATG.

 

Wrong! PBF went into the division with his sights set on Gatti who was a media darling and big name. After Hatton made Zoo quit and he put a demolition job on Gatti he then called out Hatton who declined to fight him, in fact both Hatton and Cotto set ring side for his fight with Gatti. PBF was still with Top Rank at this time and Cotto was with Top Rank Arum not knowing PBF's value was hesitant to put him in with his future Puerto Rican superstar in Cotto. No one else worth a damn was at 140 so he moved up.:deal

 

Had Tszyu not retired by the time he fought Mosley, Cotto, Maidana, DLH and Canelo? I think he had.

Face facts he cherrypicked his way through the division which by your own words was dead.

Yet it never seems to be lickle Floyd's fault. Don't get me going about how when the 147 division got hot he decided to retire.

The man is an ATG fighter without a victory over a peak ATG or HOF fighter.

 

So you've just proved my point he went into the division with no intent on fighting the best.

He was in the division a whole year before Tszyu lost to Hatton.

 

A fight with Zoo wasn't possible dummy he was with Showtime PBF wanted to fight him but I didn't even bring him up because it wasn't possible. The fight with Gatti was possible because he was with HBO. Lastly did Zoo ever call out PBF?:hi: Also I love the fact you leave out that Hatton ducked PBF at 140 who was the seen as the best when PBF was there. I guess we should blame PBF for that fight not happening at 140 to right?

 

Yet you're a defender of Zoo and GGG two fighters who haven't accomplished as much as PBF. Let that sink in hypocrite. PBF has beaten elite, HOF and ATG fighters Zoo or GGG haven't.

Zoo was a Showtime fighter fact.
Zoo quit on his stool against Hatton fact.
Hatton ducked PBF at 140 fact.
Arum wouldn't let Cotto fight PBF at 140 fight fact.
No one left to fight so he moved up to fight bigger and better fights fact.

 

Why do you insist on putting the waving pic on everything you post?

As for a fight with Tszyu even if it wasn't possible he still chose the path of least resistance.

As for Hatton ducking Floyd, any proof? Because I find it hard to believe considering he gave up his best weight to make the fight at 147.

Still waiting on that top 5 Hopkins victories.

 

If you followed boxing back then you would already be aware that Hatton ducked PBF at 140 when both were there. PBF wanted to fight him and Hatton's team said he wasn't ready. Do a search it's all over the net. I've already done enough for you. Hatton sat ringside for PBF's fight with Gatti so did Cotto. Hatton wanted no parts of PBF after he saw the demolition job PBF put on Gatti.:deal

I'm still waiting on GGG to fight someone better than Martin Murray.

 

Well im going to leave it here as this is a thread about a true warrior yet it's been turned into some Joy Sinclair fanboy post.

Finally prove that Hatton ducked PBF at 140.

and post me them top 5 wins in the other thread.

 

His team said Hatton wasn't ready it's all over the net. I unlike you followed boxing back then and was here. The story was posted all over this forum.

 

Hagler fought the best boxers of his era, and some of the best boxers of all times.

Ggg has fought macklin and lemieux.

Sure, they are exactly the same, sure...

I hope gg's team is paying you for the publicity, because the other option is that you are all idio....

 

Well to be fair I'm a fan of neither so I couldn't care less.

Now for the real question, other thread...Top 5 wins or admit Hopkins era at 160 was just as weak as it is today.

 

:yep
