Hatton didn't want the fight at 140 when offered....Floyd fights DLH at 154 then Hatton at 147...y'all really expected Floyd to drop down to 140 cuz now Ricky was ready??:stopitslime:

What other fighter gets held to those standards??

But it's not that simple. Just because you aren't a fan of someone doesn't mean you (not you directly) try to find angles just to slight him. I'm not a huge fan certain fighters but I'm not up here or anywhere else trying to tarnish fighters legacy with some bullshyt like supposedly ducking or fighting in the "wrong" era. That's bullshyt, niqqas ain't fans of the science they're fans of talking stupid shyt and they don't even try to agree on purpose. Floyd is a bad motherfukka, that's simply put.


Only reason why I respect your opinion on this is becuz the guy in your avi is the reason why I took up boxing and he was always criticized for that era shyt.

I agree with you. No great fighter should be criminalized for what they didn't do and should be appreciated for what they did. That's why I said that even tho I'm not a fan of Floyd, I can respect his skill and the work he puts in.

Because Floyd, Ellerbe, and FLoyd Sr all said it doesnt matter what he weighs on fight night. Skills pay the bills right? So why criticize Pac for catchw eights and then do the same thing, when you already fought at the division twice with NO catchweight???

:heh: I like how you completely ignored the rest of my post and singled out the one thing that has nothing to do with this thread.

Floyd has a proven history of stepping up to face fighters at their natural weights. In this case it was actually Canelo who proposed the catchweight. You know better than this. :ufdup:

Seems like its always some underlying agenda when speaking on Floyd, this thread in particular. @Final Boss
produces a video directly answering the OP's post of critics saying Floyd ducked certain fighters or purposely fought them out of their primes (Moseley) and the OP glosses over that FACT in the video provided and chose to comment on CATCHWEIGHT only. I mean what are we doing here? What's the purpose of replying when no matter what is said or what facts are presented, Floyd would still be slighted or even boosted up on some made up bull. He's the only fighter who goes through this, shyt is laughable, really.


These dudes claiming Floyd is ducking fighters despite having probably the most stacked resume of his era are the same ones who would've called Leonard soft in the 80's. It's in some peoples nature to tear down those who reach the top of their respective fields. If that's not possible then they'll manufacture a reason to cheapen their accomplishments.

It's no different then what Ali or any other athlete at the top of their sport has gone through but at the end of the day, men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

He had ODH on that no rehydration shyt that's why and my issue wit Cotto was not only was he the champ but Napiao just weighed in at 148 for the hatton fight the sets the Cotto
fight At 144

Dont ever mention Ali and Floyd in the same sentence.....Ali fought his competition in their primes, so Floyd is nothing like Ali off the bat.

Secondly, Floyd's resume is not even top 3 of his era:ufdup:

DLH, Pacuiao, and Judah have the top 3 resumes of Floyd's era and there's nothing arguable about it.

:rudy:

I was making a point (which you missed completely) about how the best athletes in the world always get torn down by the public in an attempt to marginalize their accomplishments. Ali and Floyd were the best fighters of their eras therefore they are comparable to what i was saying.

I know you're usually a step behind in these debates but even you should've been able to understand that without me having to dumb it down and re-explain it to you on a 3rd grade level.

He fought Joe when he was 65 years old, I admire how hard he trained but he didn't have anyone to push him.

In other words you got sonned and now you're trying to deflect attention away from the fact that you can't stand behind your argument. Same shyt that happened in that last Floyd thread when you came in cheerleading for Manny and i posted circles around you to the point that you said fukk it threw in the towel. :russ: Stick to the topic or find a thread that you can actually keep up with.
