Contenders that Floyd Dodged

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Hahahhahaha, "over a month" holy ****... stop the presses again. Also, you're the one making Tszyu the topic. When asking the question about why a fight with Mayweather and Tszyu didn't happen, it involves both parties, and thus will be addressed as so. You can't simultaneously insult Floyd for not fighting Kostya when he moved up in weight, but then not mention about Kostya never moving in weight to make a big fight either.

The burden of a fight is not on one camp's shoulders.

DirtMan,

The Bruseles fight was in mid-Jan. How likely is it that FMJ would have signed for that in mid-Dec??

Don't listen to his lies. Tszyu ran from Floyd for years. Look at FMJ's list of opponents, and look at Tszyu's. Enough said.

why would floyd have to dodge ksta?? he was the best fighter in the world and he knew that so he fought the bigger man in carlos because he was better opposition

Carlos Baldomir is better opposition than Kostya Tsyzu??


Regardless of the topic, I'm glad that Floyd-Hatton is finally happening. Whatever anyone's opinion of the Paler and who ducked who/who cares, he was/is the man at 140 so it's only right it should happen. Floyd being a "champion" at 140 after fighting a shot Gatti is just intrinsically wrong.

And Floyd "ducking" people at any weight above 140 is not a bad thing... it's only like Joe Calzaghe "ducking" Cruiserweights. Or something.

What, like past-prime Judah W12 vs. prime Judah KO2?

lol! Here's who Floyd fought at the time he should've been fighting Kostya Tszyu:
1. N'dou
2. Sosa
3. Corley
4. Bruseles
5. Signed for Gatti before Tszyu lost to Hatton

End of debate.

What, like past-prime Judah W12 vs. prime Judah KO2?

Ali went 44 rounds with Frazier. Losing once. And Joe knocked Ali down.
Foreman blew Frazier out badly. Knocking Joe down ten times.

Remind me what your point was , Annie?

Floyd detractors spend much type claiming Floyd cherry picked his opponents, so I would like to hear who they all are.

Who are all the contenders that Floyd dodged in his illustrious trip through the bums (Castillo and DLH excluded).

I will start off with the most obvious black hole in Floyd's resume: Kostya Tszyu.

Who else?

You Beat me to this post!!

Tszyu: Zab, Sharmba. And lost to Hatton.

Floyd: Castillo, Corrales, Delahoya, Chavez,...and Zab and Sharmba. And will beat Hatton.

That's no answer, Dios. How could the self proclaimed best of all time spend his time fighting 5 bums and not fight the HOF title holder??? It doesn't make sense. Floyd blatantly dodged Kostya Tszyu.

May 19th, 2005:

- Is there anybody out there that you want to fight after Gatti?

- Like I said at my last fight when I called Kostya Tszyu out. I called him out. Kostya Tszyu don't never call my name out. Every time they ask about my name, he try to duck and dodge the question and go around my name. I am not like any of these guys; I got a chin, I can give it and take it, I can box, I can fight on the inside as well as the outside and I am smart. He knows I am an intelligent fighter. Smart fighters know smart fighters.

"I can't make these guys fight," said an exasperated Mayweather, who had hoped to face Wright in what would have been one of the year's most intriguing bouts instead of what will turn out to be nothing more than a glorified exhibition.

Former lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight champion Shane Mosley was offered a bout against Mayweather, but declined.

Mosley said he wanted a couple of tuneups, but said he'd fight Mayweather next year.

Kostya Tszyu isn't sure he'll fight again. His conqueror, Ricky Hatton, turned Mayweather down before money was even discussed.
Oscar De La Hoya has mentioned Mayweather, but said he won't consider him until late 2006.

That's around the time when Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he'd be willing to put young and promising Miguel Cotto in against Mayweather.


NUMBER THREE:


Jan, 2005

Today’s sensational 140-pound crop includes universally recognized champion Kostya Tszyu (31-1), his next challenger Ricky Hatton (38-0), Mayweather (32-0), and Cotto (22-0).

Gatti (38-6), resurgent recently, has a big following, and adds steam to boxing’s best division.

It all sounds great until the socio-political stuff factors in. Tszyu fights for Showtime.

Mayweather, Cotto and Gatti all fight for HBO. It’s a highly unusual situation that the smaller of the two subscription-cable boxing giants holds sway over a division populated by so many of the larger network’s fighters, but that is the position.

"I would love to fight Kostya Tszyu,” Mayweather said. “If the money's right, I'll go to Russia to fight him. I just want to show I'm the best. But with HBO and Showtime, I know it's going to be hard to make the fight."

Mayweather’s first order of business is a June pay-per-view fight with Gatti, which is a long, long way from a done deal.

He would like Tszyu after that, unless Oscar De La Hoya wants to rumble. Mayweather still craves that fight, though De La Hoya consistently has remained three weight divisions heavier. But if De La Hoya drops back to welterweight as advertised, they will be separated by just one division and seven pounds.

"It's part of history. My uncle's a two-time world champion, we've got a lot of controversy with my dad and my uncle, two fighters from the same family, one training the Golden Boy (Floyd Mayweather Sr.) and one training the Pretty Boy (Roger Mayweather). It's a fight I think should be made,” Floyd Jr. said. "I know at the end of the year, it's going to be me and Oscar. We've got to get it on. He can't keep ducking and dodging."

You notice that no list has been produced as of this 4th page as well.

Kostya in his prime was a guy I used to watch a lot. He's a good boxer, he is no great. Why is there so much comotion about him and floyd.

WHERE IS THE ****ING LIST
