    At least Bernard was hitting Wright cleanly. Floyd did throw effective punches.

        Which fight was it that Larry Merchant made the following comment. "This fight is borderline unwatchable?" LOL.

          You know what? I actually dont think Floyd has the ability to brawl with elite fighters.

            Thats your opinion and I have mine. I can respect that is your opinion on those fights.

              Standing toe-to-toe for ten seconds per round is not exactly commendable.

              And so what if his opponents had good chins? Shouldnt he at least have tested them?

                Ok, but the shots that Bhop chose to throw came one at a time, followed by a clinch. He did that the entire fight. As for Floyd, look who he was fighting??? A slow as molases, 35yr old journeyman. Baldo was leagues beneath Floyd in terms of talent. It was expected for Floyd to tattoo this guy all night, and cruise to an easy points victory. There was absolutely NOTHING entertaining about both bouts. Not to me anyway.

                    LMAO you can call me a Floyd NH but then say no need for insults. You are funny sometimes. I am a black man I have always been a minority. So my opinion on those fights being in the minority doesn't change my opinion or mean that I can't respect those opinions that are opposite of mine about those fights.

                      Ok i remember. It was actually Jim Lampley who made the comment, and it was for the Spinks/Taylor fight.
