why do people only focuse on floyds stay at 147??

[IMDAZED]

It's not just 147 but 140. Very disappointing...

Tony won a welterweight title first, so by that logic,

Tony>>>>Floyd?

Cute logic, real cute, so I guess since Rodney Jones beat Tony at 147

Rodney Jones >Antonio Margarito

You know maybe his ideal weight wasn't welterweight... J

Thats fine. But if its not his ideal weight, he should have never moved up, called himself the best ever or degraded the best welters in the division without fighting them.


Seriously, how can anyone stand by a guy who says this,

"we're not fighting to prove whos the best"

hum!!!!!he just passed thru 140 didnt he..in the process beating the **** outta gatti..he got his belt at 140 and left..whats disappointing about going to 147 and becoming the lineal champ then going 2 154 and beating the golden boy under all his rules..

For that fight, yes. Why would I say otherwise?


What has Rodney Jones done since then and what is his position in the welterweight landscape now?

Would you be impressed with Michael Spinks for beating Holmes and never fighting another credible HW again?

Yeah... money is overrated....

God knows he would have made just as much money at 130.
