Seen boys go squallin' fer mommy, but never daddy!!!
Come on, don't you think King Floyd didn't fought everybody? He even destroyed Tenshin, a future champion.
Wasn't even discussed in any capacity let alone in any kind of negotiations.
Wasn't on anyone's radar.
Didn’t think so. Post Oscar it always felt like Hatton, Cotto or Mosley were the biggest fights out there for Floyd.
Not that I know of. By that time Vernon had already lost to Mayorga, so alot of the shine was gone from that matchup.
I still think it would have been a good fight though......
I think Vernon may have been WBC #1 in 2007 when Floyd beat Oscar because he wound up fighting for the vacant title when Floyd returned to 147.
The timelines never really matched up unfortunately, would have been an interesting fight. I wanted to see Forrest-Martinez too shortly before viper passed away.
Me too but not sure when it could have happened. I suppose 2007 but Floyd was never gonna stay at 154 after Oscar.
Was it ever in negotiations?

My vote is for Amir Khan.
Agreed...he fought (and got KO'd) by the best of 'em! :rofl:
He was also actively chasing fights with both Mayweather & Pacquiao like a dog on heat.
I would have liked to have seen Floyd vs Vernon get made.........

Yes, please don't think I was accusing you of anything. I understand your intention with this thread and it's a good one.
Not particularly a fan of Floyd either. All his fights were in the US with a US referee for one thing. With that said, he fought most of the people he could reasonably have been expected to. I would have preferred the Cotto fight at 147 immediately after Hatton rather than when it did happen. And Pacquiao in 2010 (obviously).

Out of active boxers
Monster fought everyone that was in the top 3-5 of each wgt class. Too bad Chocolatito opted not to fight him.
Also Bam Rodriguez is fighting everyone in proper order.
Generally, the lighter guys fight the most talented guys without discrimination.
King Floyd fought everybody. From Apodaca to Gotti, and now, Tyson.

Oscar and Saul's opponent selection are impressive
these guys were groomed from day 1 to become superstar ppv kings
yet missed one or two names max each
Yes he is. One of many American males in the internet age who thinks we should care about their opinion on anything and everything. Did you see his live spat with Tim Pool (another media grifter)?
Not seen it. I tend to steer clear of Podcasts like that. Nobody can debate anymore, it's always in bad faith and more concerning about "winning" than actually just two people going back on forth on a point they disagree on.
I love rap music too but he's terrible at that as well. I don't find his views on boxing much better.
its easy to "want a fight' in the media, thats literally the whole point of going to the media. to spin your narrative. what matters is action. floyd took no action to make the fight. being vocal conveys nothing about being truthful, and often can be used to be deceptive.
lets talk about credibility and how words dont matter if you have none. floyd is the same guy that said he wanted winky wright. then winky said ok lets fight and floyd said oh ummm yeah ill fight you but you need to come down to 154 with a rehydration clause, obviously floyd thought this would kill the fight but winky said sure thing lets do it and agreed to floyds terms, floyd then said oh wait i should get even more money. goalpost movingggggggggggg
we have seen that same method to duck fights with pac, take the test take the test, 14 days? oh you agreed? 0 days. oh you agreed? i should get more money and you should barely get any. its such a joke. he did not want the tsyzu fight. the only thing you are going on is him saying he wanted the fight but he has no credibility or honesty as proven so no, we simply cant trust his words. we have to look at his actions and his actions show he did nothing to want the fight.
from what i remember tsyzu even proposed an hbo/showtime joint promotion to make the fight, floyd did his media thing and moved on till the fight was no longer relevant, im surprised he didnt fight tszyu after hatton knocked him out, would fit his personality profile. you all said i was ducking tsyzu 5 years ago well i proved you wrong! he creates the conditions for fights not happening and then uses those conditions to justify why they didnt happen. his excuses also contradict themselves constantly. i cant fight top rank guys, yet he didnt fight top rank guys when he was with top rank, then he did fight pac when he was with top rank thus disproving his BS claim. its a joke people fall for his excuses.
I can't even get past the first paragraph.
Don't you ever get tired of being in the running for the most retarded dude on this site? It can't be fun.
It's not too late to unalive yourself, just saying.
Floyd wanted that fight with Tszyu. He was vocal about that. I think he saw a high reward lower risk kind if fight with Tszyu being inactive and injury prone.
Couldn’t happen for many reasons but Floyd definitely wanted it.

u talk about floyd fighting everyone but after his ricky hatton fight the WW division its top 5 had cotto williams mosley margo it was called the hottest division in boxing & floyd had not fought any of those guys at all, & what did he do? he retired and came back a year or a year and a half later and fought jmm
