    Cool bro:good So your opinion is clouded then as you just dont like Floyd as a man. This clouds your view and judgement of what he can do as a fighter.

    LOL Floyd fights the highest competition available. Cotto was the best option at 154 that was available.

    Ortiz was the best option available. Ranked #3 at WW and was supposed to be a tune up.

    Your funny person. You hate Floyd cuz he talks ****. LMFAO. Margarito is no saint himself, yet you'd suck the nut off his dick if you could.:patsch

    why would floyd needs a tune-up when he fights once-a-year? 4 fights in the last 5 years?

    he could have fought pacquiao or the winner of martinez-williams (as what floyd claimed that he wants at the time) but he chose the "very dangerous" ortiz.

    Best available was Canelo, who sells out the stadiums and is a massive draw who holds the WBC title, Floyd always ran after the green title through out his career yet here at 154 again, He isnt chasing that fight, why?

    Let me ask you this, why does it bother you that I hate Floyd? does it ruin your day when you see people talk **** about him? I mean what the **** do you care weather I like a fighter or not?

    for me it will be his somewhat cherry picking opponents and retiring when cotto was red hot at ww also not fighting pac...but he is an amazing fighter best of my generation just wish he truly challenged himself instead of protecting his 0

    Floyd has fought 6 fights dating back to 2007.

    Pacquiao turned down drug testing and then priced himself out of a fight with Mayweather.

    Ortiz has pop in his punch and is dangerous. Floyd just schooled his ass and knocked em out while up 4-0.

    Floyd has fought 3 top 10 pound for pound fighters since 2007 as well.

    Martinez Williams was at MW..So now Floyd is ducking 160 fighters?:rofl:rofl

    Let's just say Floyd fought and beat Martinez. You would then call Martinez old as he would be 38 by that time. You would give no credit to Floyd and would make up some excuse.

    You already say Floyd can't gain anything by beating Manny...so no matter what, it's a lose lose with you *******s. After he takes the lion's share, get's the drug testing, and whoops on Manny you *******s that are hardcore, such as yourself, will make up some new ****. It never ends with you trolls.

    Floyd wants Pacquiao, Pacquiao is scared of the counterpunching style Floyd brings inside the ring man. Deal with it man. Nothing you can do about it but deal with it man. In that order too man.

    I think it's funny that you hate him. I think it works against you when respecting his work inside the ring. I could care less that you hate Floyd. It does however, cloud your view on his skill etc... You don't respect what he does inside the ring, because of your opinion on him outside of the ring.

    The guy fights top competition as the rankings of his opponents show. Floyd does not fight guys out of the top 3 in his division and/or top 10 in the world..hasn't done it since 2005 when he fought Mitchell.

    Williams had to move up, Floyd didnt want that fight, Williams called him out but we know why Floyd didnt want Williams.

    Martinez had already moved up thats true but back in 07/08 Williams was there looking for Floyd or any big name

    haymon would never have let Paul fight Floyd, Paul already blew his chance at a superfight when he got outboxed by Quintana and Haymon wouldn't chance another loss on his record.

    Williams was almost never in position and never at 147 when Floyd came out of retirement.

    Let's look at it.

    Williams fights as first or second fight on undercard for Mayweather-Baldomir.

    Floyd beats Oscar.

    Floyd signs Hatton.

    Williams beats Margarito.

    Williams enters into negotiations with Cintron in late 07 but Cintron pulled out because of his injury and Quintana jumped in for the Feb 2008 date.

    Floyd retired.

    Williams gets outboxed and loses 9-3 against Quintana.

    Williams avenges his loss and KO's Quintana 1. Moves up in weight.

    Floyd comes out of retirement in May 2009 to fight Marquez as a tune up for a Pacquiao fight that Spring.

    So up to this point, there was 0 ducking by Floyd for Williams. Williams was never even a name till the Margarito fight and wasn't on any big level till 2009 when he was very very well known.

    Williams was a nobody and there was never any position to make the fight.

    Floyd was not even fighting in 2008..he retired end 07 man...that's not a duck...especially when you get outboxed by Carlos Quintana.

    its a duck when the man calls you out after the Margarito fight and you run into hiding... like I said Floyd retired when the division got hot and if you know boxing you know Floyd did not retire to actually retire the man did so to let the dust settle he retired so that he could come back when the smoke was cleared and take the man who was last standing and usually by then that man is shot

    Floyd and Williams have always had the same Manager Al Haymon, Haymon is not going to let them fight. No manager is going to let of their main fighters fight each other it makes no business sense. Williams wasnt serious with the call out because he knows it wouldn't happen. In fact I know somebody who's watched fights with Willams and he said Williams is a Floyd Fan.
