It's funny how some people here have built up PBF like he's the best fighter ever

    haha look @ This contradiction...

    10 years from now hell always be remembered
    20 years from now hell always be remembered
    30 years from now hell always be remembered

    after those first 30 it might get a little hazy though

    no matter when floyd was atleast top 3 if not #1 best fighter from 2000-2010

    the best fighters of the decade will always be remembered.. but when several decades pass and fighters from decades prior are compared.... is when floyds true skill will show... because if the fighters from 2010 on are alot better than floyd.. floyds legacy will shrink as the years go on

    but the fact that he held belts in 5 weight classes speaks alot seeing how not more than 6 people did it ever in the history of boxing

    Your right he will be remembered as the man who did not want to fight Antonio Margarito, and come Saturday Margarito is going to prove to the world that Floyd did make the best health and not business decision for his career.

    The thing is PBF isn't going to be tested menatally by a guy like Margo who he's lightyears ahead of and a he's a stylistic nightmare for him as well. The truth is PBF has been tested and he's passed all of them with flying colors and his 39-0 record is proof. The mental aspect of this game is verry underrated and PBF is the most mentally strong boxer in it. With that said, the biggest test he could face right now is Cotto who he would still be favored over.

    And like I said Tony will change that theory on Saturday, and sure Floyd has been in some fights that were able to test him mentally I dont disagree with you there, but he has not been in there with a man with the size, power, workrate,chin and conditioning that Margarito has, and that in itself his alot to over come for anybody, including Floyd.

    Thats going to happen, you already know that, I think your just hoping other wise so your case can be further proven but do not put all of your eggs in Cottos basket!
    Margarito is the stiffest test for Miguel Cotto and he is seemingly the hungrier of the two, and what does your Boy Hopkins say about the hungry fighter?:deal

    Wishful thinking. But we live in the real world and at that time neither Zoo or PBF had big enough names that warranted a fight that HBO-Showtime would even think about cross-promoting fact. I guess for his 18th fight facing G.Hernandez wasn't building a legacy? I guess fighting a undefeated KO monster in Chico wasn't builing legacy? I guess taking on JLC 2x wasn't building legacy? I guess facing Oscar at 154 pounds wasn't building legacy? I guess facing an undefeated P4P fighter like Hatton wasn't building legacy? I guess wining 5 belts in 5 weights and being linear in 3, Ring Magazine naming him fighter of the year for 1998 and 2007 and being the P4P #1 fighter for 3 years wasn't building legacy? If PBF doesn't have a great legacy then nobody does.:deal

    He has 5 losses man he can be beaten.:lol: :rofl :lol: You act as if he the second coming of Duran or something.
    Chin, workrate and stamina can only take you so far when you don't have skills to go with it and you'll find out on Saturday what I'm talking about. Just like I predicted Williams to beat Margo and PBF to beat Oscar Cotto will beat Margo.

    PBF vs Oscar has nothing to do with it, or did you just have to slip Floyds dick in your mouth due to withdraw?:think

    You will see saturday thats all I got to say, you say Cotto will beat Margarito your on record so am I. the man can be beat no doubt any fighter can including Floyd he is not exempt so stop acting like he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
    Saturday night come see me after the fight I will be here.

    i dont care who wins the fight really...

    if margarito wins ....oscar will fight pac probably
    if cotto wins ...cotto will go on to fight oscar

    in beating cotto marg really wont have anywhere to go....maybe another fight with pw maybe a rematch wtih cotto depending on how the fight goes...
    maybe the winner of zab and clottey..

    floyd definitely wont come out of retirement for margarito... its a waste of time... if marg wins and oscar and manny match up.

    floyd will fight the winner of that fight in late 09

    It has everything to do with it. It shows your lackluster track record in predicting fights and lack of over all boxing analysis.:deal I have a stellar record check all the prediction league threads I'm near or at the top in all of them.:hi:
