I think he will have a rematch with jmm. this will solidify his welter champ claim without fighting the real welter champ..
Floyd has not claimed to be the "welter" champ since his return. He has claimed to be the P4P champ. There is a difference
i dont make excuses. im pointing out facts. whats your excuse for mayweather picking on a blown up lightweight and then conning him out of 2 more extra lbs?? as if the fact hes much smaller already didnt help him enough!
Who called who out, please remind me
Thanks for the comprehensive review. :boxing:
by the way, lineal championships don't mean sh!t these days. we can also say that Floyd went to ww to avoid the real threats. Zab and Baldomir are easier fights compared to Cotto and Mosley even back then.
Its actuallly the opposite. He moved up to chase big money fights. Ironically the guys you mentioned were the guys he was looking to fight around that time. The cotto fight was what he wanted at 140lbs though I do agree it was not a smart for Cotto at the time and is a much better fight now. Also the Nov date he fought Baldomir was actually his target date to fight Mosley. Again there is no reason why the fight should not take place now but to pertend that he went out of his way to aviod those guys at the time is self serving and not accurate.
He got 2 fights waitin on him at WW. He better take em.

This hindsight game yall playing is ridiculous. He fought who needed to be fought at the time. they all were supposed test and he prvoed the haterz wrong then. and the haterz come up with somethign else.
Hugh Grant is one of them. He was on Hatton tip for yrs and was always talking that hatton has the style to beat Floyd. Now he saying, Floyd was Bigger and had longer arms. well blame GOD for making him that way. You can't go up multiple divisions and be bigger than most of your opponents. It's not feasible!
PBF is the master of the hindsight game. He always seems to look straight ahead at the easier preys when the real threats are just by his side all along shouting to his ear challenging him, yet he acts unaware, deaf, or blind.:boxing:
just a question. Who do you guys think were the top rated welters WHEN Floyd came into that division. Who was at the top of the rankings. I do think Floyd should fight Cotto and Mosley. I'm not going to try to rewrite history to justify it though.
Zab, Spinks, Baldomir, margarito. Cotto and Mosley were not even in the division. margarito had not beaten anyone worth mentioning. and won his belt off a title eliminator. He din't even beat a champ to get his belt. Clottey was at the lower end of the rankings. He had not even fought margarito yet. Quintana, Williams, and berto were up and comers and very green. They didn't belong in the ring with Floyd. He berat the fomer undisputed champ of the division in Judah. he then proceeded to beat the lineal champ of the divison in Baldomir. Took the $$$ fight in Oscar at 154 and came back down to 147 in his next fight to break hatton off with a check hook! Again, Mosley and Cotto weren't even in the division when he went to 147!

Your right. What you going to say IF Floyd fights one of them and beats them though? What will the excuse be then?
Mosley ducked Floyd in 99 and 06. Floyd has never ducked Mosley.

"my untested" boy is much more skillful than any of the guys you mention. He'll beat them all

Floyd hasn't ducked Mosley? What about hmmmmm... NOW?! :hitit:
IF, and that's a very big IF, PBF fights any of these guys, then he would no longer be untested. Even if he loses, he'll still get my respect for finally taking the challenge. Get my drift? But then again, Floyd will always be Floyd. He will never take that challenge.:boxing:

First off, you were the one who mentioned these guys, and not me. Skillful? Against who? blown up lightweights and washed up wannabes? Come on, brother! Get off PBF's jockstrap:spank:.:rofl: :boxing:
its all good and well saying he will beat them, but at the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. he has to actually sign a contract to fight them first. and seen as tho they are all genuine welterweights then it dont look likely!

Do you seriously think that your untested boy is going to win against any of these three mentioned? Has he fought any fighter of the same caliber and size? Don't be too sure, brother. These guys are already tried and tested. Your boy is just a prospect at ww. :rofl::boxing:

What i'd like to know is all the people that accuse Floyd of ducking etc etc. Do you seriously think Margarito, Cotto or Mosley could beat Floyd?
could they?! absolutley. margarito cotto or mosley could beat floyd. im not saying they will, but they could. but we will never find out at this rate because he wont fight them!
