Which is the best fight Floyd never fought?

This guy is an old man, bitter as hell and a blatant racist.

 

i love how its never floyds fault these fights never get made.

 

The cry of the ignorant floyd fanboy..."He's just racist!"

 

Sure you gullible ****er, why not. :thumbsup

 

I know about Mosley's tooth excuse, that was live in an interview though a lot of people try to justify this stating he moved aside so that his boss at the time could fight Floyd instead.

Manny's situation's well known enough and no-one can really say for sure that either fighter turned down the fight, it's just a case of whose excuse you want to believe. The fans are the only losers here.

However, I've NEVER heard of Miguel turning down the Floyd fight. I know when asked in interview's he'd state that his management would decide but that was his response in every public interview, he's too humble a fighter to brazenly call out (though it may have helped him). It just makes no sense that a guy would turn down the biggest money fight in the world in order to fight a dangerous Margarito for less. Both were high risk fights but one was clearly a higher reward.

Floyd was asked many times regarding fighting Cotto and he always dodged the question. This can't be attributed to an introvert character on his part.

I was most disappointed about that fight never coming about because though I thought Floyd would make Margarito look amateurish, Cotto had more patience, a top quality jab and solid body work to make the fight a hell of a lot more competitive than Mayweather-Hatton.

 

another ****** able to use the internet...pretty impressive:thumbsup

People on ESB love to oversimplify complex situations. Basically, they dumb it down to their level and think they can give an unbiased account of a sitatuion on 2-3 short sentences.

Such as this idiot below me....

 

Yep and you do that **** all the time and just sum it up and say Floyd ducked ____, _____ and _____

take your damn advice

 

I agree, the partisan bull**** usually gets in the way of seeing anything clearly as well.

As far as I'm concerned Mayweather is the best fighter since Whitaker but by not challenging himself he's lost the chance to be considered the greatest. Boxing lists usually rank 'greatness' rather than 'best' and so when it comes to their legacies Mayweather will probably be ranked below guys like Pacquiao and Hopkins on the basis that he didn't strive to show the potential I believe he had.

This isn't saying that Floyd never fought anyone of quality but he didn't try to fight the best fighters at their best. If he did this his All Time rank would be a lot higher, as it is I think he'll be ranked below Pacquiao, Whitaker and further back the Four Kings when he had the potential to be equal or maybe even above them.

 

Absolutely. And I think it's a bad shame too, as Floyd probably would have beaten those many think he avoided. And it would have added a LOT to his resume, possibly moving him past Pac. But he did himself no favors.

But he can still make up for that a little. Has time. But not much.

 

Why not go back further than welterweight? :huh

Unification at super featherweight with Casamayor and/or Popo Freitas? :jjj

 

ellerbe: cotto is a non-draw
floyd jr: it's an easy fight for me but you're on PEDs. suddenly i have lost my urge to fight.

conclusion

joyboys: everybody is ducking floyd.

 

Not enough ____. Needs one or two more.
