    Didn;t look to me like Anthony has been shitting on Floyd.
    In fact, it seems like hes given Floyd a hell of a lot of credit as a fighter.
    Is he wrong for wanting to see what we all really want to see?

    They'll label you a hater if you don't kiss the ground their favorite boxer walks on. God forbid you critic their boyfriend. They're favorite fighter can do no wrong and is flawless.

    You might be right but i think Latino's in general hate floyd for being too calculated when choosing opponents and not taking risk. Mexican fight fans like guts first, action and skill. Basically you have to fight with balls.Mexican fighters that are loved do all this and have skill too but dont talk about it and not do it in the ring. Different schools of boxing but bottom line is you got to respect them all. Mexicans respect the art too but you have to inflict more damage to beat your opponent. While american boxing shows you to hit and not get hit.
    IF miguel cotto would have clinched and not fought back his status wouldn't get elevated, it would instead go down. the ideology here from a latins perspective is he tried to fight rather than go out like a *****. ON the other hand if he would have "hugged" (clinched) he would have lost respect from some latin fans but gone the distance.

    Right on the mark! :good How many Mexican fighters pick and choose their next fight? (Other than Oscar) Mexican fighters will fight anybody anytime which is the exact opposite of Crybaby Floyd.

    I agree 100%. Some people say MIguel should have clinched more, etc, etc. Although it is true and he could have or he could attempt if they do a rematch, I dont think Miguel has it in him to be a blatant clincher such as Hatton, Mayweather or Klit. He has a fighter's heart where he wanted to fight back, and as a result of that, he gained much more respect from many. Thats why Miguel's style and persona in the ring is so attractive to many people, he is always to do damage of his own; in this case, even if it cost him the fight.

    but floyd knows how to slow the tempo down and turn the fight into his favour, he has the boxing ability along with the boxing brain

    No I want to see it alot too but I'm not about to go saying he should do this or do that, the man has the right to retire and be with his kids after more like 30 years in the sport.

    I just appreciate what he gave us so far and if he comes out of retirement it will be great but I aint looking for anymore from Floyd.

    Hes made his money and left his mark on Boxing, he dosent need it, put yourself in the same position, He probally cant stand getting up at 5am in the morning to run or going to the gym 3 times a day. If you had it all would you go through that for 4 months just to fight a fighter like Margo?

    He may have seen that he is losing interest on the sport which he has stated publicly and if he has lost interest and retired on top I admire him for that.

    If anyone wants to know who FLoyd deals with a agressive fight watch him vs Castillo he lost vs Castiloo because he couldnt handle a guy who could pummel him on the ropes

    Why would The Messenger lie? Floyd fans are way to big of nuthuggers to pay respects to a man who sparred both DLH and PBF

    Paul is telling you what he knows not what he thinks

    I would trust a mans word who has fought or aprred vs PBF and DLH vs some knucklehead who has a pic of his out of shape ass and his kid

    You fools need to get real
    Like the Messenger said if Floyd didnt think it would be a easy fight vs Margarito why would his fans

    And look at the Clottey fight he hurt his hand hitting Margs head what do you think little Floyds hands will do when he hits Margs?

    Castiilo got robbed kid weather you like it or not
    And the rematch was no won with ease kid

    Gatti the guy who the contender beat? Baldimor a journeyman and a blown up Hatton wow

    Um lets see hear Margs KO'd Cintron twice in under 7 rounds who I think would have KO's 99% of Floyds comp
    KO'd Cotto and I think Cotto KO's 99% of Floyds comp

    Are you seriously bringing up Gotti and Baldimor as good wins?

    I'm brining up Gatti and Baldomir because they both have about the amount of technical abilty as Antonio Margarito, and they both fight the same "straight forward" fight that Mayweather thrives on. You're brining up Castillo, who is a far superior "boxer" than Margarito, and Mayweather beat him twice.

    In fact, about the only similarity between Castillo and Margarito is the fact that they both throw a lot of punches.

    Gotti by murdered by Alfonos Gomez who Cotto used as a sparring partner

    Baldimor is a journeyman who could never KO Cotto or Cintron

    Please get serious before you talk to me
