Paul Williams beat Antonio Margarito........and Floyd ducked him too.
Floyd stans and yall revisionist history is AMAZING
Was paulie the best Broner could have fought at 147?
He should.
He's faster, better boxer, more accurate puncher, better defensively, better stamina, longer reach, taller (by 1/2 an inch)
Alvarez has to try to win on his size, strength, and power, as well as throwing combinations at Floyd in hopes of stealing rounds or maybe even catching Floyd. He has decent speed and good defense, but his stamina is garbage though....he really needs to work on that in training camp.
I got Floyd winning 7-5.
To be fair Floyd has the same advantages over probably most of those fighters that you feel he ducked. So, would you say that he would've beat them too?
Why couldn't he have fought him "years earlier" when he was at 135. Fighters separated by one weight class fights all the time. He moved up and beat Castillo who was the man at the division so what more could be done at 135 if he wasn't gonna fight the best. So I stand by my statement that he could have fought Tsyzu years earlier instead of pissing his career away fighting the Ndou's and Sosa's of the world. After beating Castillo in 2002 he could have moved up a lot earlier than 2005 instead of bums.
Was DeMarcus Corley NOT at 140lbs when Floyd fought him in in 6-2004?
He even fought Henry Bruseles at 140lbs instead of going for the Champ...Tszyu
You Floyd stans trying to revise history...not anyone else. Ricky Hatton didnt even fight Tszyu until 4-2005. Floyd could've fought him, but was trying to get an easy title off of Arturo Gatti
Tszyu fought Sharmba Mitchell in 6-2004, Floyd fought Corley in 6-2004. That fight could've been EASILY set up, but Floyd didnt want him....he wanted Gatti instead. Instead of fighting Henry Bruseles in Jan 2005, that should've been Tszyu.
Stop it
But they don't hear you though bruh. These cats act like me saying he could have fought Kosta years earlier than Hatton was a stretch. Like 2003 and 2004 he couldn't have got that fight if he truly wanted.
Was paulie the best Broner could have fought at 147?
Pauletta was the only fighter with a belt that was able to fight.
Pauletta was ranked the #4 at 147, was the WBA Champion, and didnt have an opponent.
Ring Champ: Floyd was not an option.
#1 ranked JMM was with Top Rank...not an option
#2 ranked Pac was with Top Rank...not an option
#3 ranked Kell Brook was scheduled to fight Devon Alexander....not an option
#4 ranked Pauletta was the WBA Champion and had no opponent and was with Golden Boy....Option available.
#5 ranked Tim Bradley is with TR...not an option
#6 ranked Devon Alexander was scheduled to fight Kell Brook...not an option
#7 ranked Robert Guerrero just fought Floyd....wouldnt be able to fight
So how was Pauletta NOT the best option?
Nope.
We are ASSUMING that Floyd would beat Alvarez, because of these advantages....but the fights happen in the ring.
Alvarez size, strength, and power may overwhelm Floyd and he could lose just as well
That's why there are upsets in boxing. Because you cant be 100% sure of anything. We have to let the fight play out.

He moved up to lightweight after 5 years at Super Featherweight.
You're advocating that Floyd moves up to fight Tsyzu after only 6 months at Lightweight.
You exposing that you dont know shyt and just talkin out your ass

Just going off memory so I might be wrong but the Mitchell/Tszyu fight was delayed and Mitchell was on a little win streak waiting for his chance to get a return bout against Tszyu who was inactive because of an injury at the time.
With Floyd, he was suppose to face Spadafora at 140 (both were undefeated title holders at 135 moving up), but Spaddy got into trouble with the law.
After them fights, I think Hatton was being pushed by Showtime for a title shot against Tszyu.
Floyd was/is HBO and never shown any interest in titles other than the WBC (Tzsyu was IBF), and goes after the money.
Floyd never struck me as the type of fighter that cares for going after the best.
Kosta Tszyu was the WBC (super) Champion, WBA Champion, IBF Champion, and The Ring Champion at 140lbs when Floyd got there and had been since 2001 (Floyd arrived in 2004). He was "The Man" at 140 and everyone that followed boxing knew that 140 went thru Tszyu.
Arturo Gatti was the "bigger name" because of the fights with Ivan Robinson and the trilogy with Mickey Ward, but was nothing in comparision as a fighter.
Floyd chose the fight with the Most Reward-Least Risk.
He moved up to lightweight after 5 years at Super Featherweight.

Floyd was a lightweight in 2002 up until the time he fought Chop Chop if im not mistaken. So you trying to tell me between 2003 to 2005 he couldn't have fought Kosta. He stayed at lightweight for a couple of years fighting bums when he could have easily moved up. Never did I say he should have went up in 6 months time. But he had years between the Castillo win and the Gatti win to fight debut. You talking about Floyd stayed at 130 for 6 years which is true. But that doesn't mean he had to stay at lightweight for several more years after beating the man twice in that division. You saying Floyd couldn't have fought Kosta earlier than around the time he fought Hatton in 2005 just shows that u r a Floyd stan. He can do no wrong in your eyes so anything anyone tells you, you will dispute.

But you said Floyd SHOULD beat Canelo because of all of those advantages, right? So, using the same logic Floyd SHOULD have beaten those you said he ducked, right? I mean since he has the same advantages over them. I'm just throwing your simplistic logic right back at you.
Btw your reasoning on Floyd ducking is really flawed, you seem to know boxing but you get mentally constipated when it comes to Mayweather.....for some odd reason

in that period, Tszyu was fighting once a year, and was past it.
Anyone saying dude was ducking Tszyu shows me you dont know shyt about boxing.

Breh leave him alone, he's a hater. He's a Kobe Stan like you, how could he not like Floyd
