Floyd DUCKED Margarito.
It’s okay little boy, the truth shall set you free!
And remember if you want to be successful, don’t make excuses like Floyd did when he lost to Castillo. It’ll prevent you from growing.
Lol at manny fans calling people “little”. The internet is truly a safe haven for the worlds losers to log on and completely divorce themselves from their miserable reality.
I don’t even blame y’all. Reminds me of the Dave Chappelle joke about the Philippines. I feel sorry for y’all.
Why didn't Floyd fight Alexander when he had the IBF title? We haven't seen Floyd fight a fast southpaw since Judah.
Alexander is not only an easy win but a worthless one for a fighter of Floyd's caliber. Your troll game is awfully weak, you will get smacked around for even trying to suggest Floyd ducked an unimpressive and average IQ fighter like Devon.
Arum himself admitted this lol.
Shoulder excuses? That was manny after the embarrassing sparring session that he was put through when he finally got Floyd in the ring.

Quit making excuses, like Floyd did about his shoulder when Castillo put a beating on that boy!!

Floyd actually agreed to fight margarita for the 8 million on the condition that arum make the dlh fight for him afterward for $20 million. Arum refused, Floyd then got with haymon to buy out his contract and the rest is history.
lol another day another “Floyd has ruined my life” thread from you losers. I love it.

Lmao dude has like 10 losses on his record and Floyd chose him instead of the current boogeyman at the time Margarito.
Gotta give it to Floyd, he’s an incredible career manager.

- -never fought his WBC mandatory either.
Ducked prime Cotto , Manny, Marg, and Williams.
Didn't fancy his chances.
Well, the topic of the thread is why did Floyd, who makes his own fights, choose a slow, flat footed, fighter who he can exploit on a latin holiday for a paycheck (no disrespect to the latin community), over a slick, skillful prime, southpaw fighter who isn't as much a draw, as one poster pointed out, but may be a better challenge...
all I did was show that Floyd displayed a pattern of choosing the slow flat footed guy, so if I am a wierdo for that so be it...
even in the case of how Floyd cherrypicked Madonna, another slow, flat footed fighter with no reach, over amir khan, a fast skillful guy, even though khan won a poll that Floyd constructed asking the public who they rather see him fight....again, don't be mad at me that Floyd left all this room for scrutiny...he chose his own fights
He ducked Khan now...😂😂 Khan hadn’t fought in 13 months and had just gone life and death with Julio Diaz when Floyd disgracefully chose to fight Maidana instead who was coming off a huge win over Broner. The poll doe...🤣
As I said you anti Floyd weirdo’s are even worse than his fanboys.
Just let it go dude...
You anti Floyd weirdo’s are even weirder than the Floyd is TBE weirdo’s.
I’m done debating with someone who’s evidently blinded by hatred.
He deservedly retired undefeated and beat the very best of his era. Get over it...

Alexander didn't beat an "AB".
Your chances get higher after beating an "AB". Just look at Ortiz, Guerrero, and Maidana
You beat an "AB" and the woman beater *Floyd gives you your opportunity.
Devon was locked in for a title defense early 2013 so they would’ve had to fight later 2013 around the time Floyd fought Canelo.....
Oh and Chop Chop, Zab Judah, Cotto and Canelo are all quick footed slick boxers ...Cotto was recognized as the best at 154 when they fought...Canelo was a unified Champion and Rated 2nd on the P4P list sooooo what’s the problem?
Anybody pre Hatton I can't say too much about...
Canelo was top notch vintage best win in his post Hatton career.
Why didn't Floyd fight Alexander when he had the IBF title? We haven't seen Floyd fight a fast southpaw since Judah.
It was one of the worst fights that could be made a that time. Nobody was asking for it and floyd would’ve washed Alexander.
He himself announced it on twitter knowing how the public would react to how ugly the fight is, then he chose guerrero.. and fans were “okay, lets settle for that instead”
Nobody was asking for guerrero fight too.
Marquez slow and flat footed?? GTFOH... Have you ever watched a Marquez fight?
I wouldn't call Marquez, Hector Camacho fast, even at his best. I can tell the difference between the lightweight version of Marquez, and the version that Floyd dragged up two weight classes to welch on the scales who was even slower and flatter. He was already a shorter guy with a shorter reach. How many more advantages did Floyd need? Pillow gloves too?
So you’re complaining about him fighting slow, flat footed fighters yet listed Margarito as someone you wanted him to fight. Cause that’s not contradictory.����
Don't forget with no reach, and Floyd fought an even, slower, even more flat footed guy in Carlos Baldymir instead of Margarito (who he backed out of fighting) for the same paycheck, in an absolute stinker of a fight where the crowd walked out way before the the fight was over, what are you talking about. Margarito, literally was stalking Floyd for a fight but oops time for Floyd to go on a two year vacation.
So a guy who started at 130 ducked a career light middleweight. Ok buddy...��
Use whatever excuse that makes you sleep good, but the facts are he called Winky Wright out, they drew up contracts and whole nine, and Floyd backed out of the fight. Why go through all that just to back down. That's a consensus duck right there.
He fought Cotto when Miguel was 32 and was the #1 guy at 154. Yeah he was way past his prime.��
It was a decent win no more no less. A prime, undefeated Cotto called Floyd out after Cotto beat Shane Mosley but oops, Floyd had to go on two year vacation and pop back up when Cotto had been good and ravaged by Margarito and Manny already.
The classic Paul Williams shout, knew that one was coming.��
Yes because its really nothing you can say. Prime Williams, Prime Cotto, Margarito. They were all in the ww division the same time Floyd was but oops, Floyd had to go on vacation (see Larry and Dunn for the official Floyd Boy excuse)
Oh yeah Paul Williams called Floyd out but oops, Floyd had to go on two year vacation. When he resurfaced the coast was clear, Williams moved up to 160 and the excuse would be that little Floyd would be too small now. I've definitely seen that excuse used by the Floyd Boys here when it comes to fighting at 160. See the pattern?
And yeah the fear of fighting the all mighty Keith Thurman probably sent him into retirement. Jesus Christ that’s a new one...
So, in what world is fighting a raked thru the coals, shopworn fighter like Andre Berto, better than fighting a prime, undefeated, mandatory fighter to your title like Keith Thurman was. I will wait on that answer, er, I mean excuse. You might want to consult with Dunn and Larry before you try to answer that one.
I was wrong about one thing though, you definitely are a hater... there’s plenty of legit things to hate Floyd for like beating the mother of his children, being an egomaniac etc... but his boxing career was exceptional, trying to say a guy who consistently fought the best ducked this guy and ducked that guy is just pathetic.
If Floyd fought low risk opposition, how come he has one of the best resumes in modern history???
Whether you like him or not he fought and beat the very best of his era. JUST GET OVER IT...
Don't get mad at me because I like giving my opinion on these types of threads. I damn sure don't come up with them, and had he fought and beat the best guys on his resume in their prime, and not fought so many low risk fighters whose style is tailor made to his, then there would be fewer threads like this that question his career choices and there would be far less room for scrutiny. Its no coincidence that Floyd is the only guy they do this kind of thing with.
