Why does Floyd get no credit for his victories above Welter??

Because Judah lost to Baldomir, who himself is nothing more than a gatekeeper at most. Because Oscar is clearly way past his best, and because Hatton is/was a natural 140 who lost to Collazo the last time he fought at 147.

 

:yep

 

What he said

 

That about sums it up.

 

Floyd does get credit from most boxing fans, just not enough to satisfy his most rabid fans.

 

That's about it

 

Floyd is a very good WW even though that's not his best weight.

 

That doesn't matter. He's still a natural 135lber.

 

Despite all of that before everyone of those fights you had people saying PBF was going to lose and get knocked out only after them did the excuses roll in. I can't tell you how many people here said they would make no excuses for the Hatton fight at 147 but as soon as PBF Koed him they started that **** about Hatton having no business at 147. The Oscar fight was more of the same many people here said PBF would be KOed by the first time that left hook landed but when PBF fought and beat Oscar on his terms they changed their tune and started saying Oscar was shot...nevermind PBF had no business fighting at 154 or 147 for that matter.:-(

 

haha, EXCATLY! :good:good:good

Most of these ****ing haters fail to mention that. Instead they love to always point out that Hatton was a natural 140 pounder.

 

Not at all. Because Hatton could make 140 whereas Floyd, despite being a bit of a fitness fanatic, would struggle to go south of 140, so by no means was he still a natural 130 or 135. Floyd had outgrown that weight by the time he fought Hatton. Floyd could handle the extra poundage, Hatton couldn't.

I give Floyd the most credit out of those for the Hatton win though, although I still refuse to believe it's a legimate top-class WW win.

 

How many fights at WW does Floyd have and how many does Hatton?
