Does Floyd get all the credit he disserves??

[joepal]

he doesnt get the credit he deserves! Hopefuly when he demolishes hatton people will start to realise no matter who he fights he will beat them, the only way floyd will loose is if he hangs around to long

Take off your Floyd-colored glasses kid.

no fighter really gets the credit they deserve until they are at the end of their career and we can really have the time to assess what they have done and who they have beaten. floyd gets the respect he deserves in some instances, but there are some things he brings upon himself that overshadow his in-ring acheivments.

thats what i hate PBF nuthuggers ,do you honestly think PBF is capable of handling an Elite fighter like he is at handling Baldomir ,Gatti ,Mitchell do you think he would dominate someone like Mosely the way he did Corrales rip

Corrales would'nt have beateen Mosley on his worst day ,Dela Hoya proved PBF will not dominate Elite fighters the way he did Gatti etc

grow up

Nah im a Dela Hoya fan but PBF won that fight by 1 round on my card maybe 2 ,

He also got a Split decision over a faded fighter.
So that kind of takes the shine off the achievement.
It is fair to say Floyd is a very good fighter but he has yet to prove his worth against consistant young hungry contenders.
He is making a start with Hatton.
But this should have been arranged at 140 before he went up the weights to fight faded stars of yesteryear.
He has time to settle the debate but whether he will or not is another question.

At the moment he will be remembered as a skillful artist who did very well at 130 & 135.
As it stands at 140 and above he has yet to fight a real solid young champ or contender.

Can he rectify this....Nobody knows ....

No fighter receives their just do until he has suffered a humbling/ humiliating loss as the the prime years have slipped away.......Or until a fighter has spiraled towards self destruction, and/or exhausted all his monetary assests.
