It is funny how the hating is being set up like a straight right behind a good jab...

Are you serious? Anyone who knows boxing knows his most "credible" victories were made below 140. Man you are making a fool of yourself!

FMJ was the EXACT SAME weight at the same age and guess what? He was boxing too. So his weight is irrelevant.

 

OMG...he has ducked opponents since his close call with defeat 8 years ago. Anyone who isn't up Floyd's ass can see this. Look at his choice of opposition over the past 8 years. Baldi was a chump...no one but Brian Kenny saw Baldi as a credible opponent and definitely not the class of the division. Give me a break!!

Wow, so JMM calls Floyd out...Floyd fights JMM...this obviously means he doesn't duck anyone. C'mon...man just look at Floyd's resume...it sucks for someone who is making the claim of GOAT...and let me guess, that's all Bob Arum's fault?

That is ridiculous.

 

Against whom? Corrales, Hernadez, Castillo, and Chavez? C'mon!!

They were his most credible because he was actually fighting the best of a division. He quickly aced that career path when he almost lost to Castillo. Anyone can see who is looking through a clear and unbiased scope that his career path quickly changed after his close call with Castillo. That was 8 years ago.

So now weights are irrelevant? Are you kidding me? What do we look at now? His resume? Compared to whom? DLH, Pac, Shane Mosley? His resume sucks compared to those fighters.

Man, this debate is garbage!! I'm done with you!!

 

Floyd wanted mosley on a date he had in early november 2006. Mosley had just fought vargas at 154 in july and mosley had already fought vargas earlier that year as well. If you look at mosleys record he never fights more that twice in a year. To do what floyd wanted mosley would have to drop from 154 to 147 and fight floyd in a few months for his third fight that year. I dont blame mosley in any way for not taking that fight. If the roles were reversed floyd sure as hell wouldnt. Mosley actually suggested that floyd fight margacheato and he would fight the winner but floyd fought baldo on his date of the 4th nov. Mosley needed more time and thats exactly what he said, yet he constantly gets killed for this.

 

The top 5 WW's when floyd retired after hatton at the end of 2007 were floyd obviously, cotto, williams, mosley and cheato. Why did floyd retire with a hot division looking at him?? All of those guys were looking to fight floyd in 2008 but he retired, that is very strange and if you do that you got to be ready for some flack for it

If floyd had fought at least 2 of them he would have 90 plus percent of the detractors off his back, it was in his hands and he only has himself to blame for the comments he gets. Now he has a chance to put a bit of it right and fight mosley. I think he will, as he looks like he has no choice now and i think he should beat mosley, its a fight nearly everyone wants to see

 

Dude you're arguing with a sheep,those idiots dont have toughts of they're own it doesnt matter how many facts you show to him in the end that ***** will always choose fraud's side and blame someone else other than him.

Cotto-Mosley-Margo all fought each other while fraud didnt fought any of them and for the sheeps it makes more sense that those guys who fought everybody ducked him than the other way around.

 

No one but Brian Kenny? Hilarious. You do know that Baldomir "beat" Clottey right? You do also know he was the Ring Magazine champ? No. You probably don't.

You keep saying he was ducking. OK. Can you please list the "ducked" fighters?

Mayweather wanted a tune-up after a return to the ring. Are you not familiar with this boxing term? This has nothing to do with ducking. This was a tune up against a main event opponent. It was a win/win situation for Mayweather and even form JMM.

Again, you are too silly (or too casual a fan) to see who works for who at WW. When you make a list of who works for who, then make a list of who Mayweather "ducked". If you don't see the correlation you are a fool.

 

Why the hell would you get "slack" for beating a past prime Mosley. That is the only version of Mosley you could beat now. Now if you say they are giving him slack for taking a fight with a past prime Mosley, then you can complain.

 

dude, this ain't 2001... sugar shane is past his prime, he isn't shot by no means there was a poll where 0 was shot and 10 was prime and it seemed like the majority had mosley at 7 or 8 which seems perfectly reasonable. yeah, people hate that's what you deal with on this site (every once in a while read an insightful post, but most of the time agenda-ridden propagandha for that poster's fighter). Pac: 29 year old Morales was shot (probably a 7 or 8 as well) Cotto was shot and weight drained (Cotto's and 8 or 9 of his prime), Hatton (undefeated at 140) was never that good to begin with, never was prime, smoke and mirrors etc.
PBF, first of all, has to sign the fight or he's-no argument-the GOAT ducker of all-time.

 

Yeah...i know, blade...

But, I always like to give everyone on the forum the benefit of the doubt. As a result, i sometimes get wrapped up in a debate of sheer nonsense.

Hopefully one day i'll learn my lesson. The forum is meant for everyone to better their overall boxing knowledge, not belittle or bash fighters and their fans.

Anyway, i don't want to come off sounding like an elitist, that's a good and bad thing on this forum.

 

Floyd UD Shane. Shane was outboxed by Cotto and is really only coming off a great win against an unplastered extremely 1 dimensional Margo. Shane is still a very good fight, Floyds toughest test since DLH at 154, maybe tougher cos of speed. I do still believe Shane is the 2nd most dangerous fight for Floyd, because Pac is probably the most dangerous and that fight is even 50-50.

 

I know what you mean,sometimes i also get into discussions with some knuckleheads that never lead anywhere and when it ends instead of feeling like i learned anything it just feels like i wasted an hour or so of my life entertaining some internet clown.

 

Amen, brother!!:good

 

Baldo was never an elite fighter, everybody knows that, plus he got his title by beating one guy, judah who is another guy who has lost all the big fights he has ever been in, both good, but any very good fighter beats both baldo and judah, i dont know how anyone could agrue against that

 

people have been talking about Mosley being shot since he fought Cotto

It's been a really long time. Use the search function and you'll see.
