is mayweather a protected fighter??

[bigsmoothh]

Exactly, he was an underdog to Coralles (whom 70-75% of people picked to beat him) and about even money with Castillo. Also, don't forget that about half of the people picked DLH to beat him, by KO no less.

Nope, a protected fighter doesn't fight the fighters listed here. The thing is that Floyd is heads and shoulders above everyone else in boxing and everyone thinks that he's fighting no-risk mofos when, in fact, he's fighting very good opposition that is just nowhere near his level.

Gatti at 140 was 3rd best (after Ricky and Cotto)
Baldomir, at WW, was the undisputed champ and ranked #1 by Ring Mag at 147
DLH was top 3 in the 154-pound division and Floyd moved up there and beat him, too

I mean, seriously, who do you people expect Floyd to fight, Wlad? Joe Calzaghe? Hopkins? Be real. Floyd should be fighting at 135 or 140 and yet he moved all the way up to 154 and clearly beat DLH.

why would anyone pick odlh over mayweather?

[PRboxingfan]

Fake Floyd has fought bums and feasted on them.

Although it is quite understandable why America clings to him even though he is a coward and a duck.

becase America has nobody else.

Here's a list of bums for ya:

Hector Velazquez
Jorge Solis
Fahsan 3K Battery
Emmanuel Lucero
Serikzhan Yeshmagambetov
Fahprakorb Rakkiatgym
Jorge Eliecer Julio

Who's been fighting these bums? Why, your ****-provider, Pacquiao. He also beat up on an old Barrera and an old Morales, while getting a gift draw against JMM.

While your boy was fighting these bums, Floyd was out fighting quality opposition.

Now, stop sucking on Manny's **** for a second and think it over.

[VIVA MEXICO!!!]

When has he ever taken a risk ???

Genaro Hernandez
Jose Luis Castillo
Jesus Chavez
Zab Judah
Oscar De La Hoya
DeMarcus Corley
Diego Corrales
Angel Manfredy

hernandez was so old he retired right after that fight.
castillo was his last challenge 5 years ago.
chavez a good fight more than 5 years ago.
judah had just lost to a bum.
dlh is a businessman and a coward. there was no risk.
corely is a joke.
corrales was like 10 years ago.
manfredy is aj oke.

if you are serious and think he has challenged himself more than 2 times in his career you dont know nothing about boxing.

Great analysis again.

The fact that his resume lacks a lot of elites in their primes during their time when Fake Floyd could have fought them instead of a Baldomir, or a Corley and Gatti, etc is more than enough to convince A REASONABLE MAN THAT HE IS A JOKE.

I mean a true elite has to have names like

Casamayor
Freitas
KOstya
Cotto
Margarito
Williams

Instead.

He fights bums.

[Burning Desire]

A protected fighter is someone who lacks this resume.

Kostya
Casamayor
Freitas
Margarito
Cotto
Mosley
Cintron
Williams

And let's not even forget what Fake FLoyd said.

"I'M NOT FIGHTING TO PROVE TO THE FANS WHO'S THE BEST".

Kostya
Casamayor
Freitas
Margarito
Cotto
Mosley
Cintron
Williams


Kostya = Tszyu was going to fight Mayweather had he beat Hatton but Hatton beat Tszyu so Mayweather is fighting the fighter who beat Tszyu.

Casamayor = Not really sure why this fight never happened but can you show me proof where Mayweather ducked Casamayor ??

Freitas = Freitas never wanted to fight Mayweather.

Margarito = How would Margarito make Mayweather's resume any better ??

Cotto = He could have Cotto's name on his record its too early to say isn't it ??

Mosley = He would have got his shot had he beat Cotto he didn't so he doesn't get his shot simple.

And the other 2 names he is fighting if he beats Hatton right ?? so i don't understand some of these other names ?? because its much too early to say.

[Thread Stealer]

No, but his opposition from 2003-05, especially 2005, was weak.

[JoartCC]

Kostya
Casamayor
Freitas
Margarito
Cotto
Mosley
Cintron
Williams

What you have are EXCUSES MY FRIEND.

EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES

And did I say Excuses?

The simple fact is.

He didn't fight those guys and opt to fight Baldo's, Judah's, Corley's and a shot DLH.

That is not greatness.

AND LET ME PUT TO YOU THAT EXCUSES IS NOT GREATNESS.

Castillo = Was a legitmate threat you agree on that.

Chavez = Was a legitmate threat you agree on that.

DLH = A coward how the hell is DLH a coward ?? Mayweather fought Oscar
De La Hoya at a weightclass he had never fought at before that was elgitmate threat

Corley = Was a legitmate threat at that time he only had 2 losses once early in his career and the other a SD loss to Judah.

Corrales = Was a legitmate threat you agree on that.

[PRboxingfan]

why would anyone pick odlh over mayweather?

I'm sure if you look in the old posts you'll find that about half the people here thought DLH would beat Floyd.

What excuse ?? where did i make an excuse ?? i was pretty honest there i even said im not sure why Casamayor fight never happened so i asked you to show me the proof where Mayweather ducked Casamayor and now im going to turn this around on you and ask you was it all Mayweather's fault these fights never happened ?? i never seen any offers from Casamayor or Freitas.
