why is it Floyd avoids taller longer fighters

twrx12y ago

I like Floyd so lets get it out the way. since dlh (which i feel he lost) May has never given up a height reach advantage and has avoided those who did. I'm not saying he doesn't beat them or that height reach is everything but when youre bread n butter is staying on the outside and a straight right taller lengthy guys will pose a great threat Here's a comparison Mayweather 5'8 1/2 72" Dlh. 5'10. 73" Hatton. 5'7. 68" Jmm. 5'7. 67" Mosley. 5'8 1/2 71" Ortiz. 5'9. 70" Cotto. 5'7. 67" Guerrero. 5'8. 70" Alvarez 5'9. 70" now lets look at who he "ducked" and who could pose a threat Mayweather 5'8 1/2 72" P.will. 6'2. 79" Margaritas. 5'11 73" Lara. 5'9. 75" Trout. 5'10. 73" Martinez. 5'10. 73" Ggg. 5'11. 70" Thoughts?

larry you post seriously make me lol. I dk why people hate you. But seriously I like how floyd diehards tey and attack the question and mock it rather than defend it. Some one posted logical reasons as to whysome fights never happened whether names not being big enough or not worth it. But larry just for you .. why hasn't floyd fought an albino african American with two left feet Or better yet why hasn't he fought a 3'5 midget named Carl on Dec. 15 at the mgm in front of a stadium full of clowns? Smh

Just gonna leave out Genaro Hernandez who was the lineal champ at 130, and 5' 11", and Diego Corrales who was top 5 P4P and top 3 SFW, also 5' 11". Both guys Floyd destroyed. RIP to both. Why is it that Floyd has never fought anyone with an afro? I mean Shane had a jerry curl so that doesn't really count. Floyd avoiding the brothers with soul power, smh, all time great duck :lol1: That's exactly how they sound.

Another dumb and ridiculous Floyd thread...yawn. All I know is that Floyd beat the phucking **** out of Diego Corrales who was taller, longer, and outweighed him on fight night. P. Williams would have received a similar beatdown, and only trolls still bring up Margacheato who would have been slaughtered by Floyd had they fought.

I think this is purely a bait thread and he never "ducked" anybody on this "ducked" list you produced. Its not a bait thread but a simple observation. And in MY opinion he did duck p.will and Margs but I feel each of those were 50/50 fights . Ill ask you though name a fighter or athlete with an all about the money persona who retired at the pinnacle of his career a time where tons of money was to be made and respect to be earned and legacy to THE ATG in boxing . And the rest at those who would pose a threat to his "0"

He'll soon duck Andrade, he already ducked Ward at 160, Hopkins at 160, the dlh rematch. Who else? He never fought Kermit Cintron, add Clottey and Vanes as well

P.will. 6'2. 79" wasn't a big enough draw Margaritas. 5'11 73" Shane knocked him out (Offered the fight after he left Top Rank) Lara. 5'9. 75" (not a draw) Trout. 5'10. 73" (Canelo beat him, not a draw) Martinez. 5'10. 73" (not a draw) Ggg. 5'11. 70" (seriously?, not a draw who did he beat?) Why risk taking a loss against a guy who couldn't draw flies. If any of those guys you are saying he ducked were doing De La Hoya or Canelo numbers do you really think Money would turn down those fights. 4 of the guys you mentioned that he fought are first ballot hall of famers, Hatton is a maybe?, Canelo can be. How many of the guys you say he is ducking are hall of famers or can be in the hall of fame?
