why is floyd avoiding Big fights (Marg,Cotto williams mosley clottey etc etc) like a Fat chick with herpes, why is he being such a Whuss about it i dont uderstand why many people called this clown even a top 3 fighter with this generation when he is chasing fights like baldomir, undersized bum in hatton, shot oscar, bruseles mitchell,,, at the same time we see a 43 yr lod battle tested future HOF possibly the best in this generation still lokking for big fights that people want to see and is aq risk taker who will fight anybody just to prove that he still can do it and that he still cant outhink and outfight young up and comers in the sport,, as far as floyd goes he shouldnt even be mentioned with the best in this generation like HOP ROY TITO ODLH SUGAR WINK etc etc b/c he didnt have the most important thig that all of them have ,, that is BALLLSSS ,,, FLOYD is a DISGRACE to the sport and its fighters like him that are KILLING BOXING
Well, I get the feeling Bernard would do better than Floyd on Dancing With the Stars seeing the way he danced all over pavlik.
it true though floyd cant be mentioned in the same sentence as hopkins neither should jones or really anyone except maybe frazier ali holyfield and a handful of others he has more balls then most people in the sport its cause he from PHILLY
STFU all of you Floyd isn't avoiding anyone he is an ATG who won belts in multiple divisions and nobody can match him he just had enough he lacked the motive to continue why can't people respect his decision it's ridiculous to say he is afraid all you're trying to do is diminish him ........... his fans would say
Floyd's last fight was against a prime, undefeated, top 10 p4p fighter.It was a huge fight that many wanted to see. The naysayers downgraded the win because Hatton came up 1 weight division for the fight. Hopkins just beat a prime, undefeated, top 10 p4p fighter in a fight that less people wanted to see. Not only that, but Pavlik came up two weight divisions. Now why does Hopkins get praised and Floyd get denegrated? Simple, Floyd is always on top of his game. Hopkins has been off his game his last two fights so the fight was seen as a bigger threat. Floyd looked pretty good his last two fights and was still in his prime. Now in both cases, they fought overmatched opponents who didn't have the talent to compete with them. Hatton actually put up a better fight than Pavlik. People criticise Floyd's WW reign, but Hopkins has only fought 1 LHW since he returned to the division. Their choice of opponents have been very similar. Hopkins has not been fighting the best at LHW, just as Floyd has not been fighting the best WWs(although Floyd has beat 2 top 5 Welters, and Hopkins has only beat 1 top 5 LHW).
He ****ing goes by the name "Money". We KNOW why Floyd fights. A better question than, "Why can't Floyd be more like Bhop?" might be, "Why can't you understand that Floyd made millions and now wants to just enjoy them?" If someone was a real estate investor and made 50 million, people would say to him, "Why don't you just retire? You've got enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life, and retire future generations." Yet in Boxing people demand that their stars fight until they are physically incapacitated, just to see people they don't like get knocked the **** out. Wake up.
BigReg... one can look at the weigh in between hatton and mayweather and pavlik and hopkins and realise that pavlik is much closer to hopkins size then hatton is mayweathers size.... let alone the fact that hopkins is 43 and still taking on the best there is to offer... there are similarities between mayweather and hopkins recently... only differance is mayweather was in his prime and hopkins is 43 years old... hopkins is going to continue going for the tough fights and mayweather retired instead of fighting his best options...
I agree. What Hopkins did last night is one for the history books and should not be taken lightly. It was a legendary victory against an undefeated young star. He was a 4 to 1 underdog, and a large number of people had even picked Hopkins to be knocked out. Instead he posts a shutout. No one should ever forget this.
lets look at floyds fights after 135 corley brussels gatti mitchell n'dou baldomir judah DLH hatton hatton never had a shot at 147 he bearly went 12rds with collazo who should have the decision judah he fought him after judah had been beatin by baldomir baldomir he fought baldo but turned down 7 mil to fight margarito dlh was his roughest fight in years a old washed up DLH what happen was jose luis castillo put the fear of fighting real fighters in his heart
