    People still argue over Leonard Hagler.
    People still argue over Whitaker Chavez.

    Why does floyd get a free pass when he gets a gift?
    No one else does.

    to an extent i agree with you but some fights are so painful, so corrupt that i don't count them against or for a fighter. this may not be one of em. but chavez/whitaker for instance is a win for sweet pea. i don't count it against pernell's record and i don't count it towards chavez's. it's not always black and white imo

    1st off .. I don't see threads being made for either of those like they are made for floyd
    2nd ... I could understand leonard/hagler being debated but whitaker/chavez isnt a debate .. its a discussion .. every one I know even my mexican friends say chavez got a gift .. that's a completely different thread
    3rd.. sugar ray/ hagler was on a wayyyyy bigger platform than floyd/jlc ... so were supposed to talk about ray/hag and ray/hearns and duran/hearns even dhl/tito should be talked about more than this .. this was supposed to be another belt collected for floyd and it got ugly ... collazo whoop hatton but going into the may fight hatton was "undefeated" .. ok he got credit for a win when he should've lost every1 moved on ... why is this any different .. jlc himself moved on why can't u guys do the same

    A floyd fan made this thread in a mad heat over some comments in a different thread.

    This **** has been settled by polls and public opinion.

    It's only a popular topic because it's either floyd has a loss or he doesn't.
    Most of us feel he does.

    You probably think he won, which is why we still have to bring the loss up when people get over zealous frothing at the mouth talking about how floyd is some sort of magic reincarnation of a love child between SRR and SRL.

    @ the end of the day .. u can feel however u want about them .. it isn't gonna change the outcome .. when whitaker made the hall of fame .. his record on the plaque counted that fight ... well then I guess we have to eat it as much as we disagree .. that draw is always going to be there

    Mayweather got his ass kicked by a one legged Mexican. Castillo had injured his knee playing soccer a week before the fight.

    because floyd and his fans base his reputation on being undefeated and no one has figured how to beat him. that may, or may not, be bull****

    And we as boxing fans owe it to the fighters to give them the recognition for their hard work.

    What do you think Pernell likes hearing more?
    "Hey, nice draw with chavez"
    or
    "Hey, they ****ing robbed you, good job beating up Chavez"

    Castillo deserves the legacy of the man who took floyd's 0 away. You are content to sit back and let it be overlooked. Some of us have more respect for the sport than that.

    And that's wat makes this so sad... its been discussed millions of times and his record remains the same .. public opinions, polls, media, articles, forums can say what they want .. voice your opinion that's fine.. if you feel he lost then that's ur opinion but to bring this fight up on a daily basis is pathetic ... that's ****in sad ... your vote .. his vote .. my vote ... our votes are irrelivant ... that's it drop it

    I don't bring it up on a daily basis.

    Get a ****ing grip.
    When I see a thread on it, i'll surely comment.

    I think the overrating of floyd is the biggest detriment to boxing, and definitely the shittiest thing going on this forum.

    And you think you're gonna dictate what I talk about?
    Who the **** are you?

    I'll say whatever the **** I want.

    Nah dude, this "sh!t" was settled by the judges after the fight, you are living in a fantasy land, a hypothetical world, here in the real world this was decided 8 years ago. As Illustrated by the undefeated record Floyd will carry with him into whatever fights happens to be next.

    Oh lord here we go ... frochs excuse was that he fought a "negative fight" "holding .. running .. falling .." wtf kind of **** is that .. I've never heard of that term .. holding? That's how klits wins his fights .. running? Calderon is undefeated based on "running" ... dirrell won that fight and its simple as that .. he boxed the **** out of him and froch body slammed andre and didn't get a point taken away .. its wateva tho .. like I said my opinion doesn't count ... so dirrell lost .. its on his record so that's what ima go by ... so actor or not he beat AA .. and guess what .. he get full credit for it ... weather he gets an oscar or a belt

    Sure. And Whitaker has a draw.
    So does Lennox.
    Malignaggi has a loss to diaz.

    And I will argue against all of them every time I see fit.

    Corrupt boxing decisions don't get a free pass from me, you run with them all you want.
