Being new to Boxing forums, I have to say that some Floyd fans are unbelievable

We are ALL past Floyd... Horus can't stand the spotlight not being on him - I mean Floyd though. Being that everyones hyped about Cotto/Margarito... Horus Ellerbe is trying his hardest to discredit the best WW on the planet. :D im not hyped about margarito/cotto at all, and its mostly because im not crazy about neither fighter ill definately be downloading though. i think people from both sides keep this saga going by constantly posting equally appalling garbage from all angles. i am one of the biggest floyd fans here, olympics and all that shit, the fanatics from both sides get on my last fuckin nerve

Why is everyone so worried about who Floyd is or is not fighting. The guy obviously is just looking to make the most money right now so get over it. This year alone we had some amazing fights, so move past Floyd and enjoy the fights we are getting.

Bumping for Horus since he seems to have missed the point.

Damn good post bro, as unbias as you can get. Good shit.

Ability encompasses all aspect and characteristics. 147 he doesn't get through anybody.. 140 he beats everybody cept Malignaggi maybe. 140 is a weak division right now though.. and you have to agree that his skills are limited.

He didnt just beat Hatton on ability, he beat Hatton because he is smarter than Hatton. Ability encompasses all aspect and characteristics.

damn after a post like this and your bar is still green...i take my hat off to you i say these queer flomo punks are the most abusive fans on the entire forum, both in terms of criticism and the usuage of red k. you'd fall down out of your chair laughing at some of the reasons why they'd give you red k those bitches i just got one this morning from a cock sucking flomo because i said no one should be severely criticised for not liking floyd. ROFL, just tells you about the mentality of these disturbed kids with a tough childhood..

I consider myself to be a pretty big Floyd fan. I have supported him by purchasing his PPV fights even when I've felt that they may have not been worth the $ such as the De La Hoya fight. Now, in every sport, you always have the fans that are die hard for their favorite team or athlete, but the debates that happen are usually about who is the best and who can do this or that and what they have done. That is part of the game and its part of Boxing. Those kinds of discussions between diehards are what makes being a fan fun. But seeing some of the threads and post in this forum, I sometimes am completely surprised at the mentality of some of the posters. You have some Cotto fans claiming that Cotto could easily KO Floyd and thats fine. What is the point of being a fan of someone if you don't believe in them. There are some Floyd fans who believe he is the greatest of all time and thats fine. Floyd has accomplished some amazing things no one has in Boxing and as a fan, you have the right to that opinion. But as a Floyd fan, I read some of the shit you guys post in pure astonishment. Such as Bhopreign's "If Cotto vs. Margarito doesn't do 500K PPV fights, they aren't worth of Floyd". This is completely unbelievable. Its flabbergasting that this particular individual would call himself a boxing fan and yet make such a horrible thread in the light of what many consider boxing's decline. Further more, who CAN get 500K besides Floyd? Who? Why as a boxing fan would you be HAPPY and HORNY at the thought of Floyd fighting boxers he easily already defeated just because it would make HIM more money? At this point, what are you being a fan of? How is this kind of mentality, this kind of thinking be possibly good for boxing? How, as a fan, could you think that the sport's best and arguably biggest boxer fighting boxers he has already easily defeated reflect positively on the sport's current status? Even if this is the way it is, even if this is how the sport now is being executed, why would you support that? Everyone can agree that boxing is currently in a sort of "dark age" where quality is being trumped by greed and politics. Of course, greed and politics have always been part of the sport, but it usually resulted in great fights. Not anymore. and i was the same my fave fighters are cotto and floyd.but some m'fers are incredulous.

its not just them dude.brace yourself bra.

Well said mate, I personally don't like how Hatton is portrayed as a poor fighter since Mayweather fight aswell, to the extent apparently all the world class light weights would beat him, which is ridiculous. I agree. It takes a lot of talent and ability to be even talked about when it comes to the sport's best. Hatton is no bum or scrub. Floyd is the best fighter in the sport. He is just on another level of ability so the possibility of him making Hatton look bad was high. I mean, he's this era's best fighter so he is SUPPOSED to win in that fashion. So just because Hatton wasn't successful against this era's best, why should that discredit his previous accomplishments?

I don't think anyone could have said it better.
