I just read what Golota said and then I always listen to what Manny Steward says. They echo the samethings that alot of media guys say but yet they all still rip Floyd. It doesnt make sense to me.
Golota just said that Floyd doesnt belong at WW and the guys are too strong for him. Steward always says that he thinks the only guys who can beat Floyd are the "big WW's". Dougie Fischer who hates Floyd and always rips him also says that Floyd is not a WW and doesnt belong there. He also hypes up Margarito all the time and he says that Margarito would beat Floyd. Yet he admits that he's never rated Margarito in the top 15 or 20 in his P4P rankings while he thinks Floyd is one of the best.
What does that all mean? To me it says again that no one thinks any of these guys are on Floyd's level P4P but he might lose simply because he is too small and doesnt belong there. If Floyd did lose like that then what would it really prove? If all the experts think that then how can they rip Floyd for not fighting those guys? If any of those big WW's were big 140 pounders then no one would pick any of them over Floyd. If all those guys were at 140 and Floyd had stayed there then no one would even think about picking them over Floyd even if they were huge a 140 pounders but WW is like the cut off point where things start going against Floyd. 130-140 Floyd kills everyone, no matter how good they are, even if it were those same WW guys. At 147 & 154 I still pick him to beat everyone but he could legitmatly struggle with alot of guys simply because they are so much naturally bigger then him. Boricua just said that Margarito, Cintron, Williams, & Clottey are really 154 pounders that are fighting at WW. Mostly everyone agrees with that. I put Cotto in that same boat. Just because Cotto went down to 140 and is short doesnt make him smaller. Cotto at WW looks just as big or even bigger then those guys. He's super thick and built like a rock. He's also a super huge WW thats probally a 154 pounder.
All Im saying is that if nearly all the experts agree about that then how can those same guys rip Floyd for not fighting them? He's not scared of there fighting skill at all but I know him or his team doesnt want to lose to a guy they think there much better then simply because Floyd was too small. There so big that he has to just pot shot because they will walk right through it. The one good thing is that in his last 3 fights Floyd has put on some weight so it definatly makes things more interesting and I think he definatly wins those fights now. Still, if he takes any of them then he should be given mad credit for it. Instead, most say he's a punk if he doesnt take it, despite him coming into the ring at 146 while there like 162. They should give him extra credit if he beats those guys, and not say that he has to beat them to be considered great. They dont have to do what he does. They dont have to fight guys at MW or SMW. Its totally different of what there asking Floyd to do
