Joe fought a great fight, what does that have to do with Floyd?

Agreed............................................ .....

Baldomir- 35yr old Journeyman with 9 losses. Maybe one of the worst WW linear title holders in the history of the sport. But Floydboyz would argue that it is a historic/noteworthy win because Floyd moved up in weight to beat this guy.

Oscar- Great champion of his day, but was way past his prime when Floyd faced him. Oscar wasnt even a full-time boxer prior to the fight with Floyd. The fight that was suppose to be the "Fight that saved boxing" turned out to be nothing more than a glorified sparring session. Once again, Floydboyz would argue that this is another historic/noteworthy win because Floyd moved up in weight to face him.

The fact of the matter is, there were far more competitive fights to be made for Floyd, but he chose to take the "least risk/biggest reward" fights.

To keep **** completely real all sports are business first. It made more CENT$ for PBF to fight Baldomir. I agree it was better competition fights out there for him to fight. Yes Baldomir had 9 losses but don't sit there and act like no other fighters record has bull**** opponents on it. If De la Hoya was way past his prime you must say the same about the Barrera that Paciquao just fought as well as the Castillo that Hatton fought a few months ago. Also Hatton fought a man with 25 losses that wasn't the champion of anything. What justification can be given for Hatton taking that fight?
I didn't want to turn this thread into something it was not made to be but fair is fair. Make one of these about all the fighters with ****ty people like that on they're resume not just one fighter.

im going to have a disagree, if calzhage was winning judah would have either thrown a chair or lowblowed and drew a gun, judah finds ways to win man.

Actually..If we are REALLY being honest... Judah Finds ways to lose.. This would be much more accurate.. he is NOT an Overachiever.. he is a serious Underachiever

There were a few posters/Floydboyz, who were trying to discredit Joe's performance, yet praised Floyd's performances over Baldo and Oscar.

Because a lot of Floyd Nuthuggers are on here slamming Joe.

No need to get into a pissing match with anyone who could not appreciate Joe's performance. I myself did not care too much for Joe, but he has one more fan now.

Im not here saying that Hatton has a great resume. The fact is, Hatton isnt the one running around talking about he is the best to ever lace them up, and he has accomplished everything there is to accomplish in the sport. Floyd has yet to even attempt to defend any of his titles since leaving 135. Part of being a champ, is proving that u can hold on to your belts/titles. No? What he has done is, division hop, and face the weakest title holders at each weight class since moving up in weight. Gatti at 140, Baldomir at 147, and a Full-time promoter/part-time boxer Oscar at 154. Those facts cannot be disputed.

Now as for Barrera, and Morales not being prime when Pac fought them. No they were not in thier peak/prime, but they were closer to prime than Oscar was. Not to mention, they were at least active whereas Oscar wasnt.

Joe's "performance" is respectable. His "win" wasn't all that..
