    Are you having trouble discerning between a prediction and a statement of fact?

      You would think that Tszyu would want to try to make a fight happen with a bigger star like Floyd.

      I guess Zoo had other priorities.

      Floyd never called Zoo out.

        No but you seem to think that a statement MAKES it fact.

          Anytime the word "excuse" is about to enter your mind, I want you to say "Oh yeah, Dios is the one that created the "NO EXCUSES" thread.

          If Floyd was 135 and Ricky was 168, Floyd would still beat him.

            Here's what IS fact:

            Floyd has fought 7 fights at 140+.
            Ricky has fought 43.

            Ricky has been 154 up to 159 in the ring.
            Floyd's highest has been 148.

            So, when Graham says it, it is an acknowledgement. A HUGE "duh".

                Floyd is the bigger man, he weighs less, but he is the bigger fighter. Taller, much longer reach, etc. Somehow you think a short fat guy is bigger than a tall medium guy, insane.

                    How about a shorter guy who, WHEN RIPPED, outweighs a taller guy?

                    Who is "bigger" in boxing terms?

                    As Dios prepares the "why does boxing have weight classes and not height classes" question.

                      Oh...Dios, I found the "source"...ie.. the "Boxing Encyclopedia". It specifically says Hatton broke 4 of Castillo's ribs. So much for the "Castillo laid down theory."
