    It worked wonders. I wonder if he would have made more money taking the nice guy route though.

        Hard to say, didn't work too bad for Holyfield.

          When you fight the way Holyfield does his demeanor wouldn't change much. Heart the size of the earth, seriously.

            We know WHY he won't fight Cotto. If Cotto leaves Arum the fight will be made more then likely. Nice sig by the way I forgot to mention that awhile back.

              Probably not, he was boring as **** at 130, when he was still a nice guy.

              He is a ****y guy, so it works best for him when he is ****y.

                For those who dont know.....
                Floyd Mayweather fought Gatti at 140 for junior WW title.....
                something that Jimmy Nordon must of forgot...
                Actually I understand exactly where Nordon is coming from. Did Floyd win "a belt" at 140? Yes. Did he beat the legitimate champion at 140? NO WAY. We know who that was and his name was Kostya Tszyu. Floyd didn't win **** at 140, so don't even claim it.

                Here's a good way to analyze it. Go back to the classic weights and one championship belt. Instead of six relevant weight divisions and 18 total belts, you would have three belts at Lightweight, Welterweight, and Middleweight.

                No way does Floyd compete for Middleweight...NO WAY. Strike that belt off.
                Let's assume for sake of argument that he wins the Lightweight belt. Now does he win the Welterweight belt? Answer: NO WAY. From 2003-2006 you would have had the following contending for the Welterweight belt: Kostya Tszyu, Shane Mosely, Miguel Cotto and the list goes on.... Floyd has severe problems getting any other belt but the Lightweight, and even at Lightweight he has his troubles...ie...Casamayor, Castillo, etc....

                With classic weight divisions and one belt, Floyd can't jump around knocking off tomato cans to claim championships.

                  I wrote that right underneath the post you quoted. You just wanted to say:

                      Yes I know... I wrote almost exactly what you wrote, right under his post, answering it, much like you did.
