This is absolute bull****. You all are just saying that because you want to see Pretty Boy Floyd get beat. Those cats DWARF him man. It wouldn't even be about skill. They are just too damn big for PBF. The man was a former featherweight for goodness sakes. Paul Williams and Margarito shouldn't even be at the division picking on the little guys. He needs to keep his perfect record and take the best fights out there for HIMSELF. He is done absolutely everything to earn it. The champion in 5 different weight classes? That is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Retired UNDEFEATED? Do your thing Pretty boy. These cats out here won't even be satisfied until you get your ass beat; just like with Roy Jones. Now look at the damn man? He is nothing but the light-heavyweight version of Evander Holyfield; forever trying to recapture the greatness that he once had; because he didn't retire soon enough. He will never be known as the great he was accept by the people who grew up watching him fight. Nah, I thin PBF is doing just fine. Paul Williams is 6'2. That is too damn big for the welterweight division. Floyd would lose on size alone. Nah, Floyd needs to stay away from that guy. Paquiao and Hatton are around Floyd's size. So is Cotto and Mosely. Those fights are understandable. Paul Williams's big ass shouldn't even be fighting at Welter; especially when he can glide up to Middleweight like Merlin and ****. He is feasting on the little guy's like Dom Deluise would feast on a damn Egg McMuffin and ****. Nah, PW needs to go up to Junior Middle, or Middle. Period. Floyd needs to stay away from those cats, and shouldn't feel pressured to fight him to prove something to these fans who won't EVER be satisfied until he gets knocked out.
that's the only thing that will hurt his legacy if he stays retired. He never fought the best welterweights in his era.
Maybe because the best welterweights aren't REAL welterweights? They are more like middle and Jnr. middle weights picking on the little guys. The advantage that Paul Williams has in size is utterly ridiculous for somebody like PBF. No matter how good he was, he probably would still lose on size alone. Hell, Williams should be fight Hopkins, not little ass PBF; who is probably 5'7. If Paul Williams can easily scale up to 160 and fight Winky Wright, then his ass isn't a real welterweight. You all forget, Floyd isn't even a real Welter. I think Floyd has done enough to cement his legacy. The problem is, is that people will never be satisfied until he gets BEAT. Just like with Roy Jones, he tried to please everybody, and now look at him? Now people who rooted for his downfall, feel sorry that the man EVER fell. They look upon him with PITY. One of the greatest fighters off all time is seen as anything but that except by people who grew up seeing him in all of his glory. These people seeing him get beat now, think that he was nothing but a damn chinless hype job; when he was on his decline long before how started losing. He just went on too long. PBF's naysayers will never be satisfied until he loses and becomes another Roy Jones.
Caballero is 5'11 and he is fighting at the junior featherweight. No one is saying that he is too big for the junior featherweight. As long as they can make the weight limit, they are good to fight in that division. If Floyd thinks he is too small in WW division, then go down to junior WW and don't boast that you are the best in WW division.
He never once claimed to be the best welter. He said he was the best p4p... He never even stated he would stay at the higher weights. He moved up to fight ODH. He has been talking about fighting him since he was at 130. That was his goal. Once he beat him he retired. Hatton talked **** that got under his skin so he came back to rectify the situation. One thing you can knock him for is doing what he wants with boxing and not the fans or he detractors like yourself.
And how did I belong in the category of the detractors? So you think Floyd cannot win against the elites in WW division? I actually favor Floyd against Cotto and Margarito.
I favor him to win against both. I just think he has nothing to prove "to be the best welter" or whatever bull**** crap that comes out of Margarito fan's mouthes. For him to prove this he would have to take on a whole lot of guys. He been there done that. He KNOWS as well as I know that he is not a natural welter. Even with him bulking up somewhat. Watching the Zab/Clottey fight really made me realize that neither Zab nor Floyd are welters. Look at Cintron, Margarito, Williams even Quintana. They are just bigger guys plain and simple. Floyd is a 140pd fighter fighting at 147 they are 154 pound fighters doing the same. If Margarito is supposed to be a gym rat like say a Mayweather. Why does he balloon up in weight on fight night? I can see if he was a guy like Hatton who does little to no training in between.
this message is not approved by PBF nation and its real fans...the real fans want him to beat margo no matter his size...williams will not come back to 147 imo but we would like pbf to beat him as well...we shall not cry about how big they are ...he has moved upseveral times and has yet to be beat...and he has fought better guys than margo and pac is a better test than margo...he is the best p4p and the best ww in the world....thank you
this makes more sense but like u said he will beat pw and margo...i don't see why he has to fight them instead of pac...he fought the 2 best in baldo and judah ...they were the champs at the time....margo has one good win and he is a god...please
PW will drop to 147 next week if he could fight PBF. PBF ain't interested in that ****. Williams is not marketable enough, and it would be a sure-shot demoralizing ass-whippin for PBF. Not gonna happen.:-( He don't want no parts of dat boy...
5 division champ 14 champions beaten 20 title fights 6 time champion never been down.... had 1 close fight in his life...ONE which he avenged with ease The best
lol...u sure about that...why does everyone think whoever he doesn't fight can beat him...he has never lost...I love PW but he is not better than floyd...PBF beats him ud with straight right hands bouncing off his chin for 12 straight rds...PBF is not verno or carlos
ask gatti hernandez manfredy burton hatton corrales jesus chavez ndou oh and he completely dominated zab and then zab hit him low or he was gonna be stopped...when u haave to resort to a huge low blow u are more than likely ready to go
