floyd is a genius...he planned all of this

For some reason Floyd is "not the best" but why is it that i have this feeling that he would come in a the heavy betting fave against any of the following, JMM(of course), Pacman, Cotto, Mosley..

[M.I Truth ?]

Oscar-Floyd was a mega-fight though. They always sell well. By pulling I mean thousands would flood to Manchester Stadium and fill it just to watch Hatton fight his gran. Hell, he'd fill Wembley easily most probs.

Mayweather's big PPV numbers have come against proven draws in Oscar and Hatton. Against lesser opposition he's never come close to matching those numbers.

who could Oscar or Ricky do those numbers with besides Floyd?

i asked that same question..still no answer

i asked that same question..still no answer

I said in another thread today that it seems that fighting Floyd is potential to doing career defining numbers. Yes those guys have big drawing power already but they did their best numbers with Mayweather.

Without the 5 titles Floyd is still the best..just look at the daily threads made by his haters, lovers, and nutthuggers..hes hated mostly because of his flamboyant style hiss skills and talent are ignored by those who get caught up in his Boxing Character..hes the bad guy and u gotta love him because u want ur favorite fighter to fight him..thats when ur the best..when u have people demanding ur downfall but u just wont go down

I am soooo gonna use that line when defending Floyd now...

this is what I was thinking while I was going to sleep last friday night...then I dream that he got knocked out by a right hand of Dinamitas...on fight night...fkn crazy...if it happens...just my two cents...on what I dreamed...

holly **** kid!! Those are big words.. And i think you are mistaken.. Or the list you are looking at is a pretty biased one..

Theres no way you can rank pacman & jmm higher than berto, cotto & mosley @ 147....


In the p4p yes they do.. But that doesnt change the fact.. That the real challenge at ww are those guys.. Not the p4p#1 #2 guys

no way.

i said p4p mellow...and it is argument that can be had. Skillwise the 2 smaller guys are better than guys at 147. The general public percieves them to be a bigger challenge, simply because they are bigger.

So skillwise...can u say those 147 lbers have the better skills at the moment.

And im not talking fighting at ww, i'm talking about making the fight period. No matter what these so-called pundits have declared, there are other weight divisons besides ww. Floyd can be in great fights besides the ww limit!

yeah and? Fighting mosley/cotto is more challenging than fighting marquez imo. Floyd isn't going to go down to 135, so that means marquez will be forced to fight at 140. Do you honestly think marquez at 140 would be tougher than mosley/cotto at 147?

Secondly it was £20 for the hatton ppv against mayweather, which was just over $40 dollars at the time. What did you pay in the us? $50? Not earth shattering considering your population is +300million and ours is ~65million.

marquez at 140 after a long layoff is tougher than cotto/mosley at 147 imo. And i paid 55 us dollars. That is almost 1/2 of what they paid in the uk. Population wasn't a defining term, cost is!

[Mr. Philadel]

he's coming back..to many rumors..trust me by months end he'll be back..trust me and quote me

I believe you!

Oscar/Hatton wouldn't do quite that well with other fighters, true. But doesn't mean Floyd is a huge draw. You only need to look at his other fights for that.

Oscar/Hatton would sell loads against anyone, whereas Floyd wouldn't. That was my original point.
