Are Floyd Fans Scared?

[My Name Is...]

Um, just because I think Oscar beat Floyd doesnt mean I automatically think there should be a rematch. Oscar IMO got LUCKY to beat Floyd, he wont win a rematch. That, combined with a lack of popular support for the closeness of that fight and the rise of cotto, leads me to conclude that there should be no rematch. Plain and basic common sense. Chew on that for a while.

Um, common sense tells me that Floyd beat Oscar.

To keep your title, don't you think there should be some obligations?
Some guys fight once a month. Some once a year.
Some of the old school guys fought 20 times a year.

I am not asking them to do more alll the time, but I think 3 times a year minimum is reasonable.

Also, look at the Jimmy Kimmel interview. Floyd trained 18 weeks for the Hatton fight, and another i think 14 weeks for DLH. So that is 32 week in a year, that is over half of a year. Compared to 19 weeks in football. And that is not counting the time he has to go out and promote. So he is putting in a lot of work. J+He just doesnt go and shop up the night of the fight. There is time that goes into it.

That might be fair but here is what I think:

The easiest way to discredit a fighter is to say that he lost a fight and not want to see a rematch.

That way you can always count that fight against Floyd as a loss without a rematch to clear things up. Floyd had a close fight Castillo but cleared it up in the rematch because he himself thought it was close and knew that people perceived the decision he got as controversial.

With Delahoya IMO ........he knows he won (as well as the majority of fans) and he doesn't care whether the whole world thinks the same way, he will use the one judge that gave it to Oscar as an explanation (when asked about it) to get another shot at him and toy with him again winning 8 or 9 rounds to cash in some nice change.

Floyd won't win 8 or 9 rounds. He will TKO Oscar. Watch.

I'll bet you all your points that he doesn't.

Floyd doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of stopping DLH.

I agree with that as well. Not only because of Floyd's lack of power above 140 but also because of Oscar's proven chin over the years.

That one bodyshot loss doesn't mean anything since it was to a middleweight and since it was a questionable loss that some thought might have been poor acting on Oscar's part.

Um, common sense tells me that Floyd beat Oscar.

Exactly. Some people just can't miss an oppritunity to say that Floyd lost when a fight is somewhat competitive because they're affraid they might never get a chance to see it again.

That fight was easy to score for Floyd.

Floyd won't win 8 or 9 rounds. He will TKO Oscar. Watch.

I am leaning towards a tko stoppage if the fight takes place at 147. oscar will be under 160 fight night which means floyds pounches will do more damage. oscar is very strong and big so I give floyd a 25% chance for a tko

[MANGLER]

are they scared that 0 could go or what?


They ain't scared they just don't wanna believe he can lose, so they diss Cotto just like Floyd himself does. It's all part of the game. It sucks the fight ain't happenin yet but we got Cotto v Marg for now so **** Floyd. He's gotta either fight or retire after he beats DLH again.

If you go to any boxing forum, you will see the same pattern regarding the Floyd fans. They all get very defensive when it comes to Tony Margarito and Miguel Cotto. I wonder who fears Tony and Miguel more? Floyd or his fans
