    By this logic, Pac was going to knock out Floyd, yet you picked Floyd to win to save your ass, fool:deal

    You think we're stupid? Baiting Floyd fans can't be THAT fun.

    Haha...even Shane wanted no part of PW, can' t blame Floyd. Very few people wanted to get in there with PW at WW. Hell, really not even at 154 and 160 either until Sergio did it. Not to mention, he wasn't the man, per se. Timing played a big part. Floyd was chasing the money. Oscar then Hatton, then Oscar again (though this fell through). Margarito was a threat (probably would have gotten outboxed). But, it was either him and stay with TR or Baldomir who had most of the titles (including lineal) and be a free agent. He made the right choice.

    Can't really say Floyd is/was afraid to fight taller/bigger fighters. Just go back and look at his fight against Diego Corrales. Also, he fought Castillo 2x. He has fought in 6 divisions. Therefore everyone past 126 was essentially naturally bigger than him.

    This sh!t about giving Brook and Thurman a chance is nonsense. These guys are relatively new on the scene at about the same level and should be fighting each other. They should be building up their profiles trying to become the man...and just maybe they might draw him out of retirement.

    He wasn't afraid of real welterweights. Enough of these dull posts about retired boxers, please. They're really boring.
