Floyd is the biggest chciken **** Boxing has ever produced & was is overated

[Dynamite Kid]

People begged for a Judah-Mayweather fight for months and months... people begged for a Hatton fight for monthsand months... and while I wouldn't say people begged for an ODLH fight, it was well received prior to its viewing... that didn't make it any less of a big or important fight.

Thats complete bull**** why would people be calling for a 140lbs fighter in Hatton when Cotto had just beaten the **** outta Judah & Floyd had just beaten Oscar ,Cotto was the fight people wanted

as for Judah they wanted the fight Pre Baldy but Floyd only fights people when he has the advantage where they are shot or smaller or to Old or not in the same class like Baldy

who cares about :chickenboy: let him stay away

Chicken eh?

Floyd has fought bigger..stronger..fighters his entire career..winnining Titles along the way.

Mayweather sure does FIGHT OFF THE ROPES A LOT for a chicken..Strange bird is he.

HOW MANY BIGGER MEN HAS COTTO FOUGHT??..LOL..He hasn't even fought someone his own size yet.

He ALWAYS has a 15-20lb weight advantage and STILL has to CHEAT using low blows to win.

Let's see Cotto move up 3 or 4 times and win Titles along the way.

He ain't got the SKILLS or the BALLS.

Keep talking down on Cotto because you have nobody to talk up about. You're pathetic. Cotto is a TRUE WARRIOR much unlike Fraud "Retired until the coast is clear" Gayweather

Cotto might be a fight people wanted to see.. but I wouldn't say many more people had interest between the two, as both would've been anticipated.

As for Judah, yeah, it obviously would've been more highly anticipated had he not screwed the pooch with Baldo, but you can dig back through boxingscene and find polls that were done even post Baldo with a solid % of people still picking Judah to beat Mayweather.

Bottom line: If you hold standards up so high that even Floyd is some sort of bum who doesn't fight good opponents then I'd say there were maybe 4-5 boxers ever who weren't bums by your standards then. Lighten the **** up and at least attempt at rational thoughts.

Floyd chose nearly every oponent he faced post Gatti and avoided the fights people wanted to see he is a bottler

Well if that is your definition of a bottler..Joe Calzone must be King bottler.

The truth is that Floyd’s fights were rarely exciting, since they were too often mismatches against guys at the end of their careers or in the case of DLH, a blatant business arrangement, where neither guy showed any killer instinct, while raking in the big bucks. In 39 professional fights, only twice Floyd face top level, undefeated fighters. Diego Corrales way back in 2001 and Ricky Hatton last December.

Lets look at who his last ten fights were against:

Victoriano Sosa (35-2) a decent fighter, it took Floyd 12 rounds to win the decision. Miguel Cotto beat Sosa by KO in 4 the next year.

Philip N’Dou (31-1) a decent fighter that Floyd beat by TKO 7. After his next fight, a loss to Issac Hlatswayo by Split Decision in 2004, Philip N’Dou was never heard from again.

De Marcus Corley (28-2) Floyd wins by UD 12. Cotto beat Corley by controversial TKO 5 ten months later. Like most of Floyd’s opponents, Corley was on his way down when Floyd fought him. Corley has lost his last four fights in a row.

Henry Bruseles, (21-2) Floyd beats one of Cotto’s sparring partners by TKO 8. Bruseles is back to fighting guys with lousy records and hasn’t been heard from since.

Arturo Gatti (39-6) Floyd beats Gatti by TKO in 6. Gatti was also past his prime. In the sixth round, the ref instructed the fighters to break and Floyd sucker punched Gatti who was looking to the referee. Floyd should have been disqualified for that unsportsmanlike conduct but the ref allowed it. Gatti learned real late in his career that you have to protect yourself at all times! After Mayweather, Gatti beat a past it Thomas Damgaard by TKO 11 and then lost by KO to both Carlos Baldomir and Alphonso Gomez, who saw Gatti retire after that fight.

Sharmba Mitchell (54-6) Floyd wins by TKO 6. Two fights later, Mitchell loses to Paul Williams. Imagine six foot tall Williams in against tiny 5’4” Sharmba Mitchell? Mitchell is probably retired now.

Zab Judah (34-3) who after showing how past his prime he was in losing to Carlos Baldomir, the next stop was a big money fight against the money man, Floyd, who beats Judah by UD 12 in a fight that would have been ended by technical disqualification after Judah’s father and Floyd’s uncle jumped into the ring after a low blow and had to be separated by security. Two fights later, Judah went on to be TKO’d by Miguel Cotto in 11 and at this time is a shell of the “good fighter” he once was.

Carlos Baldomir (49-9) fresh off his win over Gatti and Judah, Floyd took Baldomir to school for a UD 12 win. Now, Baldomir has lost two out of his last three, including a loss to Vernon Forrest by UD 12 and a SD 12 win over a tune up opponent last year.

Oscar De La Hoya (38-4) Floyd wins a decision that could have gone either way in a fight so forgettable they wanted to do it again and milk their big names for another huge PPV that only they were excited about.

For his last fight, Ricky Hatton (43-0) Floyd was too fast and technically skillful for Hatton, who got knocked out by a check hook and ****** his head into the ring post before going down and being TKO’d in the tenth round. In his comeback fight against Juan Lazcano, Hatton took a good walloping and was saved from being KO’d when after landing a pair of big rights cleanly to the face and Hatton was wobbly, the ref gave Lazcano a warning and gave Hatton an extra 30 seconds recovery time, while his corner tied his shoelaces, which were suddenly in need of tying while Ricky’s legs were good and rubbery.

Those are the last ten opponents of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Not a very impressive resume for a man touted as the best fighter in boxing. There’s not one guy on that list that was in his prime when Floyd fought them.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was ranked number one in the Welterweight division, even though he hadn’t beaten any of the best champions in that division.

Floyd played leap frog, jumping from division to division, wherever the money was best against the easiest “champion” opponent. He didn’t even have to work his way up to a championship fight when he moved up, it was the red carpet treatment all the way.

Anyone with common sense knows that the only way to be the best is to beat the best. Floyd simply didn’t fight the best fighters so, how could he qualify?

Well if that is your definition of a bottler..Joe Calzone must be King bottler.

probably i aint got no special allegiance to Zag TBH

[Tuggers1986]

What weight is he overrated at? He's maybe the best ever at 130, one of the best ever at 135, maybe one of the best at 140 although he didn't prove it (the Hatton fight shows what he is capable of there I believe though)...and no one I know really rates him all-time at 147 or 154...if Floyd had stayed at 135 or 140, he'd have beaten everyone that has come along since he left....would he still be overrated?

Maybe at 130. but thats it. At 135 I'd put Duran, Whitaker and Mosley above him but he is up there. At 140 there's Chavez, Tszyu and Pryor id have above him.

He was ONE OF the best at those lower weights but not THE best there ever was.
