    The only fighter Floyd legitimately ducked was Margo. I rarely say fighters duck anyone. Boxers like money and sometimes circumstances arent right for a fight to be made. But clearly more fighters have ducked or avoided Floyd then the opposite. Hatton, Shane, Tsyzu and Cotto have all avoided Floyd when he asked them for a fight.

    He fought the top fighter in each division? I'll wait for you to take that one back, it isn't worth a response woman-beater. Judah and Baldomir are the best guys at 147? Gatti was the best at 140?

    Hatton and Floyd was competitive for the first half of the fight, like I said. If Floyd fans would like to think he could've beaten him with one hand tied behind his back, but chose not to, then so be it. Oscar/Floyd was closer than Mosley/Cotto. I stand by that. 7-5 is closer than 8-4 or whatever I may have had for Shane at best.

    He beat the top guy in 130, 135 and 140. 147 Judah was the top guy before he lost to Baldomir. Cotto was a nobody so was Williams.

    Lmao cokeboy you said he got roughed up. I wouldnt even have taken offense to competitive, that just means you just dont know boxing and think that not landing punches is being competitive, but I took offense to saying Floyd got roughed up. Just dont set foot in a church anytime soon with that blatant lying.

    Shane and Cotto landed the same amount of punches. Even if Compubox was off it doesnt equal double the disparity of Mayweather Hoya. Jesus man how can you say such things with a clear conscience?

    Hatton is the top 140 pounder in the world. Admittedly he bet him at 147.

    Exactly. And Hatton is better at 140 than 147. Hatton ducked PBF though at that weight.

    why mention 140 and then turn around and say hatton ducked floyd at that weight. you are the biggest tool on this site. Hatton would have gotten beat at any wieght he fought floyd. so as far as the argument of floyd not facing the best at 140. Decemeber 8th put that lie to rest permanently:deal

    would hatton have done differently at 140. the same argument goes for floyds win over chico at 130. would chico have been able to beat floyd at 135.

    both hatton and chico were good but when you compare them to floyd they would have been beaten at any weight they fought him.

    You normally dont get good ownages but you owned him on this one. There is no ****ing excuse. Weight shmate..it was ****ing 7 pounds and Floyd is one of the smallest welters anyway. The ass kicking would of came at 140 as well just like Floyd would of beat Chico the same at 135. Same ****. That is common sense.

    Interesting to see how you scored Mosley v Cotto. I actually had exactly the same score. A lot of people just gave Mosley all the last rounds based on aggression. Very few were actually watching who was being more effective. I think that Shane was a tougher opponent then Oscar also, only marginally but still slightly tougher.

    Fair enough. I actually agree that although "technically" he didn't fight the best at 140, in reality by beating Hatton at 147 he did actually fight the best for the current division.

    Yeah. I pick Mayweather anyway, but Hatton is not a 147 fighter, that was a fact going in - Hatton's strength at the weight, his speed at the weight, were at best, unkown, and previous form was not good. What kind of question is that? Hatton has one horrible struggle of a win at 147 and one loss...sure, sure he is better at 140. That is blindingly obvious.

    I agree with you as an analyst, but I still don't see how achievment at 147 vindicates Mayweather (if he needs vindication) at 140...
