          I have that tard on iggy. The difference is, DLH was old and fighting weight drained at a weight he hadn't made in 8 years. Plus DLH was not a ranked fighter, just a promoter offering Pac a chance to cash in on a faded DLH, like Floyd did. 16 mo ago, Floyd was #1 p4p, has been at WW for a while, and fought as high as JMW. Why in the heck can't he fight a WW with a pulse? Why is he trying to pad his resume on a fading futre HOFer like Marquez, two weight classes above where he's ever fought? Simple, he's a coward.

            well he's said many times that he wants to make the fights that fans want to see, or the biggest fights for his legacy, but he doesn't which is the reason i think he gets so much hate. I honestly think if he was a humble guy & didnt say those sorts of things people wouldnt care as much about who he fights etc. But when you're talking it up like that and dont deliver, yea its not gonna sit well with fans.

              Very few get to the pedestool in boxing that floyd has, I feel where past greats did the torch proud and carried the sport, floyd had/perhaps still has the opportunity to carry the sport but he refuses.
              this is the the truth!!!

                  i hope so, the guy's got the potential to be an all time top 10 maybe top 5. marquez/pac/cotto/mosely

                  and if he wants to attempt immortality - williams if he's able to make 154 and continues his tear.

                    hes deffo a HOFer but he should be fighting the best out there to be considered a great of his generation. i've no doubt that if floyd trained and put his mind to it he'd beat cotto, JMM and Margacheato. its just a shame he never engaged them to make himself a great. the only person i think that could pose him problems is williams just due to his shear size advantage at 147

                      I don't think beating pwill will make anyone immortal... it didn't make quitnana immortal.
