Why do some people pick others to win against Floyd?

[Sweet Pea 50]

Mayweather HAS beat bigger fighters before. Does anybody remember what happened to Gamache when he fought Gatti? Pretty brutal stuff. It was supposed to be at 135, but Gatti, after he weighed in, was almost 170 POUNDS when they fought. What happened to Gatti when he faced Mayweather? The whole East Coast and old timers from A.C. were MAD as ****. Thats what happened. Keep on betting against PBF. I'll be happy to pick up the money...

We don't know that because we haven't seen it; Cotto has never faced anyone half as good as Floyd. He might even lose against Zab, and even if he beats him, it does not say how he would do against Floyd, just check out Zab-Baldi and Baldi-Floyd.


Baldomir outweighed him by 14 pounds and Oscar by 17. I think it has been proven that he can beat bigger guys. And if you weren't aware, Oscar is more skillfull than all those you mentioned. Being bigger but considerably less skilled will NOT win you a fight against an expert tactitian like Floyd.

And comparing Cotto to Baldomir is relavant because?

Gatti is way passed his prime and who was picking Gatti to win? What were the odds on that fight? 12-1 or something?

So what is it? Gatti past his prime? He sure rode the wave of his sucsess off of beating Ward. Gatti could have been past his prime Then why step into the ring against Mayweather? Big payday maybe? Gatti got ****D. If you don't believe me, you have not watched the fight.

I dont believe you. As I recall it Gatti slapped Mayweather around for 7 rounds before putting him to sleep with a wicked left hook reminiscent of the one he landed on Rodriguez. Gatti is also a natural Jr. Lightweight as Mayweather is.

I love it. FanGuy, thats one of my favorite movies. Hunter Thompson was a great writer. Gonzo... He would have made your favorite rapper run. The dude would of pulled out TWO .45's. And squeeezed...

I dont know why people tout Floyds win over Gatti like its an epic achievment. Not only did Floyd get Gatti after Oscar, he also go Gatti after his three epic wars with Micky Ward, his two wars with Ivan Robinson, and countless other battles.

Like Floyd said, Gatti has always been a C+ fighter with a giant heart. When Floyd fought him, he was an over the hill C+ fighter.

That doesn't take anything away from Floyd though. Floyd is a brilliant stylist, but I dont think Gatti is anything to write home about.

yes its true oscar is more skilled then them but obviously he cant utlize those skills if he is not in his prime the oscar that fought mayweather would take a beating against those fighters hes is not the same fighter he was before hed simply would get out work and punish if couldnt get the k.o.
did u watch the mayweather and oscar fight did u not notice how effective oscar jab couldve been if he was in his prime

and baldomir is nothing but a journey men how had a great (lucky)run fighting a unfocused judah and a shot gatti doesnt change the fact that he is a journeyman im sure there is hundreds of journeyman floyd can outbox that outweigh him by 20lbs

this is not the floyd that fought at 130 and 135 that threw combinations and dazzled everybody with his brillant display of boxing skills

he is beatable at 147 and 154 hes a small welterweight that doesnt engage with a low punch output

Which puts you in the "hater" category, and supports my theory that everyone who picks Floyd to lose is either a dumbass or a hater.

It seems that your a floyd hater hater. If you hate those who hate floyd then you are a hater aswell. Let people pick who the "F" they want to. Free world with free speech.............Rockin'

My point is that those who pick against him do so mainly out of hate. The others, the ones I call ignorant, all I'm saying about them is that Floyd has shown no flaws that are suceptible to being exploited, and calling out people for saying the same bull**** reason to why he'll lose (he'll eventually get caught), because this has never happened and no signs of it being close to happening have ever been seen.

So far, they have been proven to be "dumbasses", as Floyd has never been beate, and he's faced every type of boxer there is.

why not just say that in the title of your post it could be " if you don't like Floyd or think he can be beat you are ******" this would eliminate unnecessary chitter chatter.
