Why Floyd doesn't look spectacular when he faces good to great fighters?

[Boofdatruth]

let not disagree over this we all know Corrales was a very good fighter but he was not Elite

he doesn't have to be elite through out his career.........as long as you know he was good.....................he WAS an elite fighter at the time floyd fought him.............

So you saying Pierce can't score 22 ppg? You forget Pierce is from LA, Inglewood to be exact. It was maybe 2 years ago Pierce dropped 40 on Kobe in LA. Pierce is the TRUTH for a reason. I guess you don't remember Pierce scoring 41 points on the Nets a few years ago in the 2nd half and overtime in the playoffs. I am not saying Pierce can drop 60 or better like Kobe can but he can damn sure drop 50 on any given night in any gym.

Man, you my dude, but **** boston man. And you know what, you right, pierce has been the one getting it done throughout the playoffs, but my blind hatred for boston has even seen me ally with my worst enemy (LA LAkers) in an effort to take down a larger enemy, boston.

I know pierce is from LA, since im from the bay area, we know who our stars are. Ray Allen is the critical one in this series, if he doesnt show up every night, boston cant win, because itll render Odom on pierce with constant double teams on KG since rondo cant shoot worth a ****.

Coralles was overrated big time too, way overrated.

If Chico was overrated and was p4p number 5 at the time, undefeated, and knocking people the **** out, what does that make ricky hatton who, is what, number 9 p4p, beating people and was undefeated, are you going to underrate hatton like you are chico whom was considered elite at the time floyd fought him to the point where floyd was the UNDERDOG going in?

i personally dont class Ricky Hatton as Elite he is in the same catergory as Corrales very good but not Elite

who cares what the p4p list said then we found out more about these fighters in thier biggest challenges that they were just shy of Elite but still very good fighters

i agree, but i wasnt addressing you in particular. both of them are very good, not elite, however to say chico was overrated is to have a modern view of a past fight, because at the time, chico was beating the hell out of everyone.

Corrales was weight drained and was going through court trouble. Im sure Corrales eating 2 sandwichs didn't play a part in his performance..

u really think it would of made a difference?

so, .......................you don't box, so who cares what you think..........he has fought the elite fighters.........he won some, and lost some..................

Hatton was clearly the smaller men and if you gonna talk abot JL Castillo fighting dirty Mayweather fought the dirtiest against Hatton

I don't know what people keep saying Hatton was the smaller man when he kept the pressure on for the whole fight, and is naturally bigger than Floyd. Don't forget Floyd is a natural lightweight!
