And Floyd only fought 2 of the 5 :huhldup:

If you notice, all the guys (top draws) on the first row fought each other, and all the guys on the second row fought each other.

Margarito is kind of the tweener on the list imo. All those fights made sense for him. He made sense as a b side guy to draws like Cotto & Mosley, while not being a big enough star to not fights guys like Cintron and Williams. Cintron and Williams never made sense for the guys on the first row.

Tevin Farmer is getting gatekeeper checks for people rather fight him than Shakur

Shout out to him :salute:
Very interesting career trajectory
He's been getting the short end of the stick far as results but would have to say his career has been a success given his story. Somehow he's probably making more money now than he did during his early DAZN days.

Facts, and probably he's gotten more famous the last couple years too. It's crazy that more Boxers don't want to go the gatekeeper route and cash more checks. There's always gonna some young upandcoming fighter who needs a test. That fight with Mouratiala probably had promoters like :ohhh:

True, but I think its more because the dudes on the bottom row were High Risk, Low Reward fights for Floyd. Those 2 fights he had with Castillo changed Floyd's mindset on "Matchmaking". Never took a High Risk, Low Reward fight since that point

I don't think he has any chance, especially at 68. SOG has the IQ but I don't think he has the foot speed or power to bother RJJ. Thinking about his fights with Sosa, JT, Reggie Johnson, & Virgil Hill, RJJ was god-like in his prime.

I think Ezzard Charles definitely gives his problems
Have to disagree, a prime Roy was hurt and dropped by Lou devlle (sp?). Timing is key, especially dealing with speed. Lou wasnt a slouch. SOG would be a live dog. Roy got a bit lazy protecting himself at times.
