Did Floyd dodge Tszyu?

[eric maldonado]

typo addressed.....

Oh, I see sono, you're one of those who believes that Floyd is a modest and classy guy. You must've missed the promotional tour last week where Floyd stated publicly that he was the greatest in the history of boxing. Yeah, he said that we should "forget Leonard and the rest."
Check it out.

p.s. sorry to break your bubble

so what thats his oppoinion ali did it all the time and floyd just might be the best boxer of all time

Before the Hatton fight. Dont tell you dont remember the time that everybody was crazy for a KT-Floyd fight.

i don't remember that, i remember people wanting to see floyd and sharmba or floyd and zab because at the time people thought that they were be floyds biggest challenge because they were fast and sharmba before his knee injury was a very good boxer

The bull**** will stop one way or the other on Dec. 8, but Floyd will never escape the criticism for ducking Kostya Tszyu. That hole in his record is blatant and telling.

tszyu lost to 2 bum ass fighters and floyd is still undefeated

Hatton fought Tzsyu in 2005. Tzsyu top ten p4p 2001-2004. Sorry. The layoff and injury excuse just doesn't work. Look at his career record. Floyd ducked, just like Oscar, just like Mosely. They didn't want him at 140, guys.

What the **** is wrong with you? You have no proof of Floyd ducking Kostya your simply just a hater who wants to talk ****. If Kostya wanted the fight it would of happened it's that simple. Floyd said he wanted to fight him a couple of times after his fights and did you hear anything back from Kostya?

Do some research before you talk ****!!!

Hey I'm a fan of Holyfield, Hagler, Trinidad, MAB, Pacquiao, Hatton, Chico, Morales, Cotto and a whole slew of fighters who don't waste my time. You on the other hand only like Floyd.

floyd is better than every boxer you named

You call yourself a fan? A fan of what? Arguing like a ***** until you get the last word?

Lord knows you are not guilty of the same **** ISISA!

Egghead!

Research and honesty are not Wiley's strong points.

These are two clowns

Man, get real. I remember that everyone was clamoring for a KT-Floyd fight back then but Floyd just didnt seem interested.

Rod, will you answer one simple question? Why do champions get stripped?

Unbelievable. Nuthugging at its finest.

I love this line: "he picked Hatton because of the payday." lol What kind of payday do you think he would have received by fighting FLOYD??

No hate here, Rod. I'm just not blind.

Haha, true that. These fans are definitely getting stressed defending a lost cause.

Remind not to ever debate with you two clowns. I've read this whole bull**** thread and you two guys are stuck on ******. Somebody needs to some sense into your narrow ass brain.

You two guys are pathetic. JESUS

I have not seen one argument in this whole thread that has made Floyd look like he dodged Tszyu. You guys just say it, but dont back it up with ANYTHING...the best thing you have is that Floyd just moved up to 140 in 2004, but before he even got established at the weight, Tszyu lost against Hatton in 2005, and they couldnt have fought anyway because Tsyzu was due with a fight against Mitchell in 2004.

Tszyu is a HOF fighter no doubt, and one of the best ever at 140, and was not consdiered shot when he fought Hatton. but nothing anyone has said has even slightly convinced me that Floyd ducked him!

If Floyd had really wanted Tszyu, he could have had him. It doesn't matter who said what publicly. That's irrelevant. Tszyu held the belts, all Floyd had to do was maintain his status and force Tszyu to fight a mandatory or be stripped. Floyd moved on up very quickly, while at the same time claiming he was the greatest. But, he didn't believe that to the extent that he would actually fight one of the proven greatest Jr. WWs of all time.

It's all very simple and doesn't require sworn deposition testimony or the introduction of various financial documents and written statements. Mayweatherites just refuse to acknowledge the obvious. They should. Then maybe they can move on with other more credible arguments to support their boy, than running down KOSTYA TSZYU!

"Meanwhile Hatton fans sit back and enjoy the ride..." Now if that ain't the gayest, ****RIDING quote in the history of this board, I don't know what is. Yeah sure he beat a 36 year old, coming off a long layoff of Tszyu. So what. If it makes you sleep better at night thinking that Mayweather "ducked" Tszyu fine. What in the hell does this have to do with Hatton fighting Mayweather? Is this the game plan Hatton will be coming with fighting PBF? "He ducked Tszyu, I got this in the bag". You Hatton fanbois are reaching like a mutha phugga. Keep thinking that this has ANY relevance come Dec 8th. You guys are going to get your feelings hurt.
