    If you were trying to prove my theory wrong you should bring up a better example. Your example was just extremely weak. Do you not understand why it's extremely weak?

    That doesn't matter when we're talking purely about size. So unless you actually have a source of the in ring weights of Hatton and Floyd, you have no real point here.

    I never said it was easy. I'm saying that Loma turning pro at 26 and facing Salido isn't the same as him doing it at 19. Loma has accomplished a hell of alot with only around 11 fights.

    Stop it! PBF had no control of his career when he was with Arum. You sound ridiculous. And all of these fighters who so called he fought with the deck stacked in his favor would have never been favored over him anyway. Who 154 and down while PBF was still almost prime would be favored to beat him? Name them.

    I agree he would. I never said he would beat Salido at 19 for his second pro fight.

    Yes and no.. No in that the fighters on Mayweather's resume Mosley,Delahoya,Manny are the best of the best. But when he fought them they were not that best. He handpicked. So you can say no way is Mikey Garcia near that level at all or might never be, but he is more prime than they were. So yes on that. It is hard one to explain. When Floyd beat them they were not who they were before. And none of those guys have fought well since really. Maybe Manny.

    Do you honesty believe that Floyd would ever have jumped in with a Salido type fighter (one of my fave all timers I'll say aswell) if he wasn't with Arum?

    Yes he did Maidana was better than Salido IMO and Cotto without a doubt was better than him to. Guerrero was more accomplished but I don't know about better.

    No , trout fought better fighters than Broner and held his own against them all. Broner had the giblets beaten out of him by Miadana and was lucky to get the win over a faded Mallinaggi.

    Salido beat Guerreo easily, but the fighht was declared NC later. Salido was also better than Maidana IMO. Cotto was definitely better though.
