LOL@ Floyd being a " NIGHT MARE MATCH UP FOR MARG .."

You get an "A" for effort in trying to sound tough, and an "F" for trying to cursing lol. I don't care about what people in the world are doing. I only care about fans calling fighters cowards. Floyd is no coward, and you can curse and get pissed all you want tough guy, but you've never laced them up chump!

 

AM never beat a top of the line fighter/ww either. Cotto was unproven in big fights and he came from 140. Floyd has fought at the elite level for years against top of the line comp. Maybe you just missed with those fights...

 

No, that would happen center ring lol. Floyd does not need to run from AM because he is faster than him. Cotto ran, and you saw the end result. I like the Avy

 

I have infact laced em up buddy and sorry for the vulgarity I just get pissed everytime I hear that silly ass line....He is a coward without question...he wouldnt fight any superior WWs no matter the amount of money involved, instead he retired with a deep division of skilled fighters he hadnt the balls to face:deal

 

If that is your belief, I can't change that. Floyd is not a coward by any means. He just won't put money in Arum's pocket, and if that makes him look like a coward, if I'm Floyd, I can live with that...

 

Well you're not Floyd, so dare to judge the obvious from a true boxing fans perspective......it has nothing to do with Arum, who is infact a good promoter....its all just a lame excuse:deal

 

If you're disrespecting a fighter with PBF's pedigree, you're a tool. Plain and simple. I would bet 1,000.00 you wouldn't say jack to his face except 'May I have an autograph sir?' And you know it.

Marg fans are the new Pac fans.

Also, whoever tried to say that Marg isn't huge for the weight because Tito and DLH were the same size - DLH isn't as big I don't think, he just got old, and Tito WAS as big and would get Marg out of there in round ONE. By vicious KO. Believe that. It would take prime DLH maybe eight rounds but he would outclass Marg too. I like Marg, was glad to see him win, and now I can't wait to see him get KTFO by any WW with a big punch and the talent to get it on his chin, because blocking punches with your face is no long-term strategy.

You asswipes should STFU before you ruin any normal boxing fan's appreciation of Marg.

 

Truth is mate, this sounds very convenient for Floyd. Either way, that's just your opinion, except if u actually talk to Floyd and his ppl and u know it's a fact for sure. Truth is, u can't blame many fight fans for cursing at Floyd, believing he retired when the division started to become dangerous. I'd respect him (his heart as u say) more if he fought Cotto, Margo, Williams and got beat, rather than having 0 losses.

And what do u mean "Cotto was not proven in big fights and he came from 140"? Cotto had already fought 5 fights at 147, 4 of them (i don't count Alfonso Gomez, who incidentally retired Gatti - one of PBF's "notable" wins) against very respectable guys prior to the Margarito fight. He beat Quintana, Urkal, Judah and Mosley. Who should he have fought, for u to call him "proven"?
Why is the Baldomir fight a "statement" for Floyd's resume, but the Cotto fight isn't so important for Margo's?

 

You don't even know what's going on lol. Go read up, and stop with the Floyd bias. Your slip is showing...lol.

 

I don't need to name Baldy at all as far as who Floyd fought. Floyd's record against the elite-Floyd is undefeated. Cotto did not defeat an elite fighter before fighting AM. Shane was old. Cotto beat good fighters, just no elite fighters yet. This is not a slight towards him, this is jmo. If fans think he left the division when it got hot, so be it. In that respect, I can't blame any fans, but I won't call Floyd a coward. Fighters just aren't cowards. They didn't get into the game, fight at Floyd's level and become overnight cowards, sorry...

 

So Liston was never feared by another Fighter?Or Foreman,Duran or Tyson?
Most fighters are, overall, unafraid of their peers,but occasionally SOME fighters will be afraid of another fighter.
That is the truth.

 

I respect your opinion. But as surreal deal said, some fighters ARE sometimes afraid of others. That doesn't make them cowards though, I also respect any man who steps into the ring, just for doing that.

You say Mosley was old... was De La Hoya young when PBF fought him? And do u consider Arturo Gatti, De Marcus Corley and the like "elite" fighters?

 

Liston was not feared by the elite. Fear is natural. But if it is a detriment in anything you do, you don't need to be involved in doing something that creates fear. Ali had no fear when it came time to fight. He might have had inner fear lol, but he didn't let it affect him like Patterson did. Let me ask you this. Do you think Floyd feared Cotto or AM?

 

Dlh and Shane were past it, and they both put up good fights against Floyd and Shane. Corley and Gatti were good fighters. As long as you beat good fighters, that is good. But there are elite fighters that are considered better than that good comp. Cotto and AM were elite fighters. If you are an elite fighter, you will beat an elite fighter. Cotto imo has not done that yet. Cotto has a proven chin that he showed against Torres, but it is when your back is against the wall, and you are facing the toughest man of your career is when you show that you have what it takes. Cotto has a lot of time to achieve this and change my mind.

 

No, I don't believe he actually fears Cotto. But as far as Margo... he could be afraid of him. Damn, I wouldn't blame him if he did!

As for Cotto, I respect him big time and think of him as an elite fighter as u stated. Imo it wasn't that he "didn't show he has what it takes", watching the fight I was convinced Margo simply has his number.
