Contenders that Floyd Dodged

[rambov]

No lies. God, Dios, that doesn't respond to what I said at all. Respond to it if you can. Is it just those articles, all published in 2005?? I mean, IS THAT IT? IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT???

lol! If so, then that is an absolutely pathetic job of lawyering, Dios.

But, on a more serious point: Where is the list? Up until now we have Tszyu and Margarito. Is that it?

There is no list. It doesen't exist. Has this changed your opinion?

Magarito is not really a big name and he just lost his last fight. Kostya could not have possibly beaten floyd...
They don't come close to DLH or ZAB or SHANE ( who actually did duck Floyd)

That's the problem. The argument was not dismantled at all in my previous thread. And in case you didn't notice, this thread inquired as to who Floyd dodged and was not specific to Tszyu. This is a valid question because the non-Floyd people insist that Floyd cherry picked opponents. Honestly, I would think you would feel rather encouraged by the fact that up until now only Tszyu and Margarito have been mentioned.

You dropped Zoo in there, like it is obvious that Floyd "dodged" him

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?

Unfortunately for you it is not obvious at all, it is just your (wishful) opinion.

An opinion you were completely unable to back up.

Anyone can read in this thread:

and see how you could not back up your claim.

Yes. Please do read that thread. I set out the case in the face of a swarm of hostile Mayweatherites.

wmute: How do you account for the 5 bums?
1. N'dou
2. Sosa
3. Corley
4. Bruseles
5. Signed for Gatti before Tszyu lost to Hatton

Nobody has been able to account for why Floyd fought the 5 bums instead of Tszyu. Nobody.

Yeah... don't focus on the content. Focus on the colors. Smart.

Bozo No No.

No... I responded to you TWICE.

It was YOU who only chose to answer my "colours" post.

Don't try spin on me, Bozo.

N'dou and Corley are not bums, you keyboard warrior... anyways

The fact that Floyd did not fight fight Zoo does not imply that he dodged him. Floyd was calling out Zoo, Zoo was very careful at not mentioning Floyd or saying he was "too small". If this implies some dodging, it is not on Floyd's part.

But let's get back to the details of you ridiculous post.

Zoo does not fight from January 2003 to November 2004, because he is injured. In November 2004 Zoo HAS to fight Mitchell or he is going to get stripped.

In this period of time Floyd and Zoo CANNOT FIGHT.

(In this period of time Floyd fights Sosa, N'Dou and Corley.)

In January 2005 Zoo signs to fight Hatton. (This leaves less than 2 months for Floyd and Zoo to sign a fight.) After this, Floyd and Zoo cannot fight, until after the Hatton fight. Zoo loses to Hatton, by quitting on his stool, and retires.

So you are basing your argument on the fact that between November 2004 and January 2005, no fight was signed between Zoo and Mayweather.

Summarizing,

1) There were TWO months in which the fight could have been made

2) Floyd called out Zoo

3) Zoo never mentioned Maweather, except to describe him as "too small" for him to fight

So in your mind 1+2+3=floyd ducked zoo.

2) Floyd called out Zoo

REPEATEDLY.

Summary paragraphs 2 and 3 are crap, and you know it, dios.

Tszyu said Mayweather was "too small" in passing. This was not in response to any serious inquiry from the Floyd camp.

Mayweather "called out" Tszyu based on articles published in 2005. Ok, where is the evidence that Floyd's people ever made serious inquiries to fight Tszyu? It doesn't exist.

And you offer NO EXPLANATION for Floyd's time after the two Castillo fights, except to say he was at 135 at that time! Huh? He fought Castillo twice in a row at 135, and then bums. Nothing but bums.

But thanks anyway for trying to answer my question. It gives your Mayweatherite brothers at least something to hang their hat on. A very very small hook, but at least something. Gees.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Was it me, or didn't Hatton get dropped by a "bum"? Really, anybody thinking that Pac could KTFO Mayweather at 130... you have NO ground to stand on Wiley Coyote.
Now if your trying to rile up us "Mayweatherites", thats all good. I just see it as a bad night for Hatton. Which is all your trying to do with all this "who did Gayweather duck" and he is a "*****" type garbage. Yeah, he has a big mouth. And can come off as a arrogrant prick. So what? Thats outside the ring. On the INSIDE, we will see whats up. May the better man win. And in this fight, Hattons outgunned. It's not hard to see.

[Eno]

By your theory, Floyd ducked Zoo because Zoo wouldn't make any serious considerations about fighting Mayweather. Sure sounds like duckin to me.

No. Tszyu was the undisputed HOF champ for some of that time and held two belts for some of that time, and held the IBF title when he fought Hatton.

The theory revolves around who was the man at 140 and why Floyd never seriously went after Tszyu.
