    Romanov - not sure about him, need to see more of him

    Pacquiao,Guzman and Marquez are better than all those guys.

    those guys are all top guys! sugar ray leonard, hearns hagler all beat up some no names...how else will these guys get names unless they have a tourney?

      What if Mayweather was still there? Just think of how crazy his resume would be. Dont act like he couldnt have stayed there either. He is clearly not that big. Who wouldve beat him? You cant say he's beating up on little guys either because its his 2nd division and alot of those guys would be weiging more then him in the ring. Thats why I still say he doesnt get enough credit for what he's done. These are the guys he's really supposed to be fighting if he were like Calzaghe, Hopkins, Tszyu, Hagler, and so on. Its not even the same as them because its his 2nd weight class.

      The fact is that he only moved up to chase the big money Oscar fight because Arum wasnt making Floyd the big bucks and wasnt getting him any PPV fight or big fame. If that had happened or if Oscar was just a LW then Floyd wouldve never moved up or atleast not until right around now where he wouldve ended his career at 140 like Sweet Pea and most other stars do. Like 3 real classes, e****ally when your smaller like him and its not a natural move up

            i only got this to say...........if khan walks straight into katsidis punches and shows the same defence he showed against gomez.....it will be a very short but painful experience for khan and i dont see him leaving the ring on his own two feet.........katsidis hits like a ****in train...

              yeah very true, one of the reasons i respect floyd....it's very hard to pull off a win against an opponent who has weight on you, it's possible, definitely but it takes good skills. im a smaller guy and i've experienced this in sparring and in fights so floyd has earnt my repsect there.

              example: de la hoya weighed around 160-165 lbs on fight night in their 2007 bout. mayweather weighed 148 lbs on fight night according to himself and his trainers and various other insiders
