    Margacheato held the WBOGUS title he never beat anyone good until he began loading his gloves, Daniel Santos beat him at 154, old man Shane Mosley destroyed him, and he was getting dominated by Cotto before Cotto felt the power of his bricks.

    Berto sucks, and even if Mosley got old in the ring against him he would still knock his ass out. Mayweather doesn't suck, and Shane had to be 100% to beat him, and he wasn't.

    I don't know why PBF fans keep making these threads. Everybody saw the fight, everyone saw Mosely gas. It's not controversial or difficult to figure out, and it's pretty much impossible to deny. Whether it was the EPO, age, or nerves, SSM gassed out extremely early. Not a knock on Floyd, just a fact. Shane doesn't gas because of getting his ass whipped, he never did against Forrest, ODLH or Winky Wright.

    What fight did Margarito start using "bricks" and just how stupid were all those professionals who let him get away with it after all those hand-wrap inspections:think

    But I'm sure a genius like you has plenty of proof.

    People are just haters. Pacquiao didnt agree to the blood tests so Shane was the next best fighter for Floyd that would draw enough attention. 38 or not, Shane was ranked third on the P4P list and the WW champ. Say what you want but this was the best fight for Floyd to take other than Pacquiao.

    So the WBA is vacant now since they were not fighting for the title or were they?

    Oscar never should have dropped below 154lbs. That's what cooked him.

    I never said Mosley was old. I agree with all of your opinions. Mosley was in fine shape and Floyd would have beaten him regardless of age. That we agree on. It is obvious I am dealing with someone far younger than myself here, but I will try to make this make sense to you.

    When you have an opinion such as "Mosley is not too old." there is absolutely no logical way for you to demonstrate that your opinion is true. People either agree with you or they disagree. Your attempt to "prove" Mosley was not too old by saying he was the favorite against Berto is a failure, specifically because Berto and Floyd are two differently skilled fighters, but generally because you simply can not logically prove such a thing. If people believe that Mosley was too old to beat Floyd, but that he was not too old to beat Berto, that is a perfectly logical position for them to take regardless of whether you and I disagree with that position.

    Also, you complain that everyone is bashing Floyd and trying to take away credit from his big win over Mosley. Then you admit that YOU were one of the ones bashing Mosley and trying to take away credit from his big win over Margo. I think it is stupid EVERY single fight when there is a winner and people on this forum inevitably try to discredit that winner's performance. It happens every time, to every fighter. But you are not thinking objectively. For you, it is simply "Floyd vs. everyone else." You want to bash everyone else for doing to precious Floyd what you admitted to doing to Mosley.

    If you truly had any values, as you pretend to have, you would not discredit ANY fighter's win. And if you did that, your complaints over how everyone is discrediting precious Floyd's victory would not be so hypocritical.

    I know I'm asking a lot in that you read and understand this entire post, but learning how to use logic at an early age will help you make smart decisions your entire life.

    You might also want to try re-reading the posts to which you are responding. This is like the third time you have accused me of saying something I have not said. Work on your reading comprehension. It is very difficult to hold conversation with someone who seems to either misinterpret or just make up things that I have said.

    I like Mosley. I like Floyd. I like Berto. There are very few fighters I don't like. I am just realistic when comparing the skills of these fighters. Berto is far below the other two, while Floyd is head and shoulders above every other boxer in the world, maybe in history. Now, that is just my opinion and you won't see me trying to logically prove my opinion is true. That is simply not possible. Do you kinda get it now, kid?

    Give him a pass. He simply wants to reaffirm Floyd's greatness as if anybody's questioning it. :yep
