I will judge him in his career at Superfeatherweight and Lighweight. I know he can get beat at any other weight, but in the lightweight division he was almost unbeatable.
Almost, because he should've lost to Jose Luis Castillo in their first fight.
Juan Manuel Marguez just fought so i dont think Pacquiao or Hatton will wait for him to fight Marguez without any of them(Pacquiao-Hatton) fighting again. He might jusy wait for the winner.
if this is true then hopkins should get no credit for beating tito and dlh.
Tito and De La hoya weren't the same fighters they were fighting at another wieight. tito especially came chubby to the fight out of shape, he doesn't know how to go up in weight with eating chocolate bars.
Sure but we as FANS need to be realistic about what fights can be made..
Williams
People come in here and make fun about Williams not being a draw and not having fans..then turn around and say Floyd should fight him....umm why>???...He doesnt draw remember....so Floyd will not fight him..hell I want to see the otheres WELTERS fight Paul...Cotto hasnt yet and SSM blatantly said he cant beat Paul.
Mosley
After SSM kod Vargas and Floyd beat Baldi this was the fight that mattered....Merchant asked SSM numerous time why wont you fight Floyd?..SSM said he neede a vacation...he said he had a toothache and he said he needed to see a dentist......interstingly enough that following friday on Friday Night Fights he said hed fight Margarito in a heartbeat...Wait did I miss something...Shane is also 37 and past it...and the second Floyd is announced the winner EVERYONE will say well if shane was prime he would win or they will say that shane being old is the only reason Floyd won.
Cotto
Believe it or not this fight was offere to Cotto and ASrum at 140 pounds...THEY DECLINED.
Floyd went on ESPN and said hed love to fight Cotto......but that he wont work with Arum.....because hes a snake....further proof of that is evient when Arum says that Pac will get a 60-40 split to fight Floyd...ridicouous...he knows Floyd wont sign and will price Manny out.
I'll bet Floyd will try to convince Arum so he can fight Pacquiao, but never Cotto.
but the argument for mosley as #1 is stronger
nah, mosley beat a margarito free of plaster and barely beat mayorga. plus he lost to cotto. so mosley is #2.
