A question for Floyd fans

[Mary Jane]

6'7", ****.

On a side note, this thread is already cracking me the hell up.

It's a serious subject, and I'm dead serious in discussing the subject matter.

But it also has dudes who are younger than other dudes discredting them because of their age, a lot of witty back and forth, and an Ultimate Warrior promo.

Win!

I didn't know Lank from G's to Gents posts on Boxing Scene.

Actually, Hatton handpicked Floyd. You need to refresh your definition of handpicking.

What the **** does this even mean?

If they both agreed to a fight, they BOTH picked it, right?

Anyway, with Floyd being the best in the sport, I'm pretty sure Hatton made the right decision.

I still don't see the problem everyone has with Mayweather fighting Hatton instead of Cotto... this fight was signed before he beat Shane Mosley, and Cotto wasn't all that established resume-wise anyway.

Plus, Hatton was 1-0 at 147, and the Collazo fight was blamed on a lot of different ****, but there was certainly a lot less talk about Hatton not being an effective fighter at 147.

A lot of revision has happened in people's minds since Mayweather fought Hatton.

Hatton's name never came out of Floyd's mouth. Floyd wasn't chasing Hatton around, talking **** about him, dying to get in a ring with him.

Everyone wants to fight Mayweather but does that mean he should oblige them all because they know calling him out could earn them their biggest pay day ?

You are clutching at straws. Mayweather took the fight because it was low risk.

Lets not forget he hand picked Hatton from the 140lbs division after Cotto had just beaten Judah.

Nah man, by the time Cotto wrecked Zab, Zab was already damaged goods....

Now when Floyd fought him? ****, Zab was at the top of his game, son. A real firecracker, that Judah boy. Except the way he got KTFO'd by a guy with a rat tail, and thrashed by a dude who sells these for a living.

ugh huh.. sure buddy.
it didn't have anything to do with the public getting tired of him not fighting legit threats at welterweight and demanding he fight them or retire.
didn't have anything to do with the WBC demanding he defend the belt or get stripped.
didn't have anything to do with the fact that Cotto, Margarito, and Williams where at the top of the division.. it's just all mear coensidence

Where your logic fails is when you start believing that Floyd cares about the public. If Floyd cared about the public he wouldn't fight the way he does, he would fight who he does. If you really believe that Floyd retired because of public opinion, you have a lot more to worry about than poverty and pregnant sisters.

It doesn't change anything. All I am saying is that Hatton handpicked Floyd, not the other way around.

I highly reccomend reading this thread while listening to this.....

Mayweather "retired" which is more like waited for them to fight each other and lose to comeback.. it could have been a year or two, eventually they where going to sort each other out and when they did, he would return. it happened sooner then later, this is why he is back.

I agree, to me this is good business on Floyd's part. the fans may not like it (like me) but at the end of the day if he fights the last man standing ins't he still fighting the best?
