All fighters call out people even though they know they cant fight them. Every fighter does it, just because they cant doesn't mean they don't want to. And if Floyd didn't say he wanted to fight Zoo you would of been making a thread about how Floyd never called out Zoo. Stop being a dumbass.
Ok so we should just give someone a pass without beating the two most relevant opponents for Floyd for years before he fought ODLH? Just part of the reason why he is so overrated. Wraps my head how you can get the rep without the tests. all good. sorry for non stop with this **** but it is like a bad itch that won't go away.
Not every fight is going to be made, won't happen. I find it funny you say "get the rep without the test" yet haven't you predicted Pac to basically beat down his last 4 opponents with ease? What kind of test is it when you know you are going to beat the **** out of someone?
Remember when Cotto/Floyd was the hottest fight to be made in boxing? Everyone wanted it. And Floyd didn't make an effort at all to make that fight happen. Such a shame. Would have been brilliant.
He's the cash cow, I would think Cotto is the one who would want to go out and pursue Floyd. We see Bradley calling out PAcquioa after fights, Mosley entering Mayweather's interviews to ask for a fight, Amir Khan saying he wants to fight Floyd whenever he says a mic and Hatton had called out FLoyd after his fight. I know Cotto is a classy guy and that's not his style, but he could have tried
No I would not have been shocked if Cotto won vs manny and I can see why some gave Margarito a shot. Each fight I watched knowing just because of size there is a chance of Manny losing. We probably don't know how mentally strong he had to become to withstand those shots from the biggest strongest guys. It hurts him bad but he is just a special warrior. Those fights had to happen for the world to see what was so special about Manny and he passed w/ flying colors. The way he did it got the talk from great to ATG.
Everyone knew what Manny was about when he fought Morales, Barrera, JMM, and Hatton. I predicted Manny to thrash his opponent in each of his last fights. Just as 90% of this forum did.
