Why does Floyd not understand that looking great is not the same as being great?

    lol...Khan woudl be a great fight for Floyd to go out on AFTER he beat on Lil Pacquiao who has no jab..

    But if Pac wanna take the tests then I'd say Floyd is fighting him next...

    I hear pac said he will take the tests and Floyd is now saying if he takes them all is good to go.

    This make no since ,, Freddy pemilton was an opponent .. who learned how to fight late in career but had too many miles on the odometer to make a real run at being great.

    Risario was a fight who got famos for hurting hector comocho .. He had a lot pop but no real skill as a fighter to keep the titles ..

    Floyd on the other hands has beat some really good fighter some HOF bound and he has picked up 3 tittles from 3 Liner champions .. So you can't compare Risario and Pimilton to Floyd , nether fighter didn't even come close to accomplishing what floyd has done in there careers..

    There are lots of soup cans out there that have fought lots of good fighter .. Floyd is not one of those soup cans.

    Floyd in his day looked for Mosley , looked for Cotto looked Tyzu and Hatton when he was at 140.. these fights were all turned down Y because floyd was just that dangerous .. with the exception of Zoo , who people made the fight with Hatton instead of dealing with the red tape of Show time and HBO..

    Sorry but there is no way in hell any one can Knock the man and say that he is not great..

    Note: Floyd Opposition didn't look great only after floyd beat them.. But Pac gets credit for beating fights who have flipped the odometer and beaten buy the likes of Zahir Raheem .. Please

    believe all you want that the test is holding the fight. pac has actually agreed on it but floyd chose to take a vacation after fighting once in 2010. he will fight once this year and more probably fight once again next year. and all of his fights since 2006 are for Golden Boy Promotions. so don't expect floyd to take on pac next year, khan is the next Golden Boy down the road.

    Look GOAT should not be hard to debate, but with Floyd this is very subjective for ovbious reasons. He is an extremely smart individual inside the ring and outside. He has calculated every single opponent he has ever faced but everyone knows he has ducked, and continues to dodge many fighters. He will be remembered as a RJJ who had great potential to be a GOAT but unfortunately because of his lack of risk taking we will never know how truly great he could have been.

    :lol: I embarrassed you by exposing your dire lack of knowledge on the 130 division and forcing you to run for cover from backing up your own comment. And now you're butthurt over it.

    Loser. :smoke

    Take it with a grain of salt they recognize how great he is....tis the reason the BAR is so damn high and moves higher as he proves them wrong each and every time.

    :happy Excellent news. I can't actually see Arsebanger's posts anymore because I blocked him, owning him had become so routine I just could not be bothered kicking the dead pig anymore it was too boring- unless someone quotes his posts, so I saw the one you "co-signed". SDS, if you ever find yourself in agreement with the most moronic, hate-filled, cross-eyed troll on ESB, then that's all the confirmation I need that you, like him, are a fake boxing fan, a troll, and a cretin. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, aligning yourself with the pond-life of ESB.

    :hi:

    I'm not obsessed with him, he just pisses me off that's all. He lies to his fans and treats them like ****, taking advantage of their love for him and their stupidity. Look at guys like SDS, falling hook line and sinker for Floyd's bull**** about the value of the Marquez win, when it was clearly a ****ing joke of a fight. Fighters should have honour, integrity and honesty, not pull the wool over dumb fans' eyes just to line his own pockets. He has skills, but he's a ****.

    Carlos Baldomir was a better welterweight than Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams and Shane Mosley in 2006, because Baldomir had beat Zab Judah on points. Fact.

    He did beat the lineal champ though...why would that not be mentioned? He then beat JMM, SSM, both top 4 P4P and future HOFer's. SSM had already given Tony the worst beating of his career, and was considered the man at WW, at the time PBF ****ed him up. Cotto was a shell of himself by this point, Tony was thrashed and suspended, now he's again fighting the WW champion, what the **** you want him to do...fight Clottey, or the ghost of Margarito? Maybe he should have rematched JMM, because that's "the fight" I guess.
