De La Hoya: "The Pressure is On Floyd Mayweather Jr"

[daggum]

Floyd tried to fight Mosley YEARS!!!! ago when Mosley was in his
prime, how was he shot? Mosley told Oscar to beat Floyd and send
him the left overs? Jin NEVER wanted Mosley to step in the ring
with Floyd and she was his manager. Mosley didn't want Floyd
because he felt Floyd wasn't a big name but now Floyd is the
man and Mosley expects Floyd to jump up and give him a shot?
Floyd tried to settle everything back when Mosley and Oscar was
running things.

and now he suddenly gives up? what a quitter

they seriously don't know they just say lil catch phrases that sound snappy. my baldomir-zsolt analogy was dead on. cept its actually offensive to zsolt to compare him to that beached whale baldomir.

Yeah. I find their arguments ludicrous.

Zsolt and Carlos have one thing in common: They are awful representatives of the linear championship.

he beat the Undisputed champ..but only wanted to pay for one of the belts.....

[GRUSTLER]

if mayweather is as great as he thinks he is why doesnt he move up to heavyweight? you can only go so far you know

Everything that I'm stating to you is facts. I can just repeat
what happened. I am convinced no matter who Mayweather
fights he will always be ridiculed BUT that doesn't take away
from what he has accomplished as a pro Boxer.

judah wasn't undisputed...........but he did beat him cementing his all time great status along with every other welterweight in existence.

You make no sense. If Floyd tried to fight Mosley in his prime
why would he be scared of him now? Mosley had a chance
when both were at their best and he didn't want it? why does
that reflect on Floyd considering Mosley was the one refusing
to fight Floyd? And when Mosley wanted Floyd after Margarito,
what kind of offer is $8Mil for a guy that made $20Mil/$15Mil
in his last two fights? I'll tell you why Floyd and Mosley fight
has problems to get off because Mosley's ego and bad decisions
stop things from progressing. Look how he handled the Pacquiao
situation? How came you label Floyd a quitter and not Mosley
a ducker if that's the case?

[daggum]

Yeah. I find their arguments ludicrous.

zsolt still has a chance dont give up. he's gonna fight hopkins and jones jr in ten years and become the greatest.

[Jiddu Dali]

Yeah. I find their arguments ludicrous.

Zsolt and Carlos have one thing in common: They are awful representatives of the linear championship.

at the time Mayweather fought them in 2006...who else was there at WW for him to fight?


I love how everyone is knocking him winning the Legitimate WW title....

he wants to fight mosley after he beats a shot vargas but not after mosley is the best welterweight in the world? what changed his mind? the massacre mosley laid on margarito maybe? i mean come on he fought baldomir who was supposed to be the best but he wont fight mosley. surely it can't be cause baldomir is crap and mosley is a top notch fighter right............

His next fight took place on January 7, 2006 at Madison Square Garden in New York City against Carlos Baldomir. For Judah, the fight was viewed as a tuneup bout that would lead to a lucrative bout between Judah and WBC junior welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr., which was tentatively scheduled for April. Judah entered the fight as a 10-to-1 favorite over Baldomir. The stage was set when Judah unsportingly punched Baldomir on the thigh during the prefight introductions instead of touching gloves to show sportsmanship. The early rounds of the fight were close, but as the rounds passed, Judah was doing less than necessary to win, while Baldomir kept applying pressure on Judah. In round seven, Judah was hurt by a right hand and Baldomir landed a series of right hands to Judah's head along the ropes during the tenth round. Baldomir defeated Judah by unanimous decision with scores of 115–113, 114–113, and 115–112 from the three judges. The Ring named Baldomir's victory over Judah the upset of the year for 2006. Judah's IBF and WBA belts were not on the line, because Baldomir did not pay sanctioning fees to the IBF and WBA. Baldomir did win The Ring and WBC titles, while the WBA "super" title was vacated after Judah's loss (WBA "regular" titleholder Luis Collazo became the sole WBA champion), but the IBF still recognized him as their champion.
