    super feather: beat genaro hernandez at end of his career.

    lightweight: contraversial decision against castillo

    light welter: much past his best gatti (gatti not good against click boxers. lost twice to ivan robinson.. and manfredy aswell..)

    welter: zab who just came off a loss to baldomir... baldomir recently just got a gift decision to a bum names luciano perez..

    jr middle: a SD to a way past prime de la hoya..

    I like floyd.. but if people wana point out the multi weight division titles won.. I thought yall should see it for wut it is
    Even if he beat the BEST Gatti, it would still not be much.

    On top of that, Gatti was not even THE man. Hernandez, Castillo and Baldomir were.

      175, there is a champ, and someone else beats him. roy collects all the belts after the champ(s) are stripped
      200, there is a champ, roy beats a beltholder
      wasnt roy just as green? not to mention beat him with one hand

          haha,

          you fell for it.

          I read your post on Mayweather's wins, and I tried to be as biased as you.

          I always thought hat the excuse Jones' haters bring up, that hopkins was green is complete bull****.

          It is true that Jones had a deeper experience because of his amateur career, but Hopkins was far from "green"

            What were Roy's reasons for fighting a policeman, garbage man, and a substitute teacher, all while he was in his prime?

              Baldomir was THE champ, and that's what there is to it.

              I think he got where he got out of sheer toughness. Did you see the Forrest fight?

                They were mandatories, I guess.

                  rick frazier, the cop, was a mandatory.

                  i don't think glen kelley, the garbage man, was a mandatory.

                  i forgot who the teacher was.

                  those fighters were overmatched but i don't think all that much about the other job things. most boxers don't get paid much.

                  glen johnson was still a construction worker for most of his time as a contender. freddie pendelton made sandwiches when he was still a contender. i'm not sure about when he won the title though.
