    u can depend on them to show up even if floyd isn't mentioned by name, ex: threads about some fight's ppv numbers, overrated boxers, underrated boxers, , runners, duckers, no heart having mfkers, etc. Wherever there's a possibility to spin a post's subject to make floyd look good, you'll find a joyboy.

    That must be the shitiest lineal title in the last years,thats what happens when you got a guy like Zab lineal champ.Anyway that was a shitty fight and thats what it will be remembered,not for Floyd winning anything but for the booing,for the commentators laughing at him,for the fans leaving in the championship rounds,and for him getting mad on Larry Merchant for speaking the truth.Floyd lost something there more important than a belt but you wouldn't know....

    He had a boring fight. Specially after his hurt his hand.

    Every fight isn't going to be spectacular.

    Roy Jones-Eric Harding was the most boring PPV main event of this decade.

    so what if it was the most boring fight in PPV history what the **** does that have to do with anything?

    Fact is he won the Lineal Title. Deal with it.

    See you don't get it,he might have one that belt but he lost something more important:respect of fans,credibility,legacy.How many ATG's have as many haters as Floyd?Guys like Ray Robinson will be remembered for fights like the LaMotta fights,Ali with Frazier Leonard with Hearns,Gatti with Ward,Roy with Tarver,what will Floyd be rememberd with?Beating Oscar in a boring fight?KOing a JWW at 147?What?Or fighting paper champs at 140,147 and 154 to get belts?

    Paper champions?


    140 he beat Gatti the best available opponent. He couldn't fight Zoo. Cotto was deemed too green and Hatton wanted nothing to do with him.

    147 - Paper title? Judah held all 3 major titles along with the Lineal Championship. When he lost to Baldomir the WBA immediately stripped him. The WBC went to Baldomir and the IBF kept Judah their champion. Floyd beat Judah for the IBF and vacated. Floyd beat Baldomir who had the Lineal and WBC belt. He then later beat Hatton who had won the "regular" WBA strap from Collazo but did vacate it when he fought Castillo. Technically he unified but never kept the belts.

    154 - He beat DLH who was considered the best the division had.

    floyd above 135 might as well not even exist.......

    the way he pushed for a fight with oscar, supposedly for his legacy, is something he sould've done at 140 and 147 if he really wanted some respect.....

    He had been pushing for an Oscar fight since he was at 135. However, Oscar's not going to fight you just because you call him out.
