Wow, owned pretty hard huh Failure? Yea..I wouldn't show my face in this thread again either if I were you. Embarrassing.
DLH was an old man when he fought him -- and an old man who had never stepped up in any real mega-fight before aside from Vargas.
Floyd is a cherry-picker extrordinaire.

You guys gotta remember something about Floyd: he grew up in the sport. In gyms. tournaments. pro fights. etc. The sport is all he knows. And he takes a classical, old-school approach to it.
No matter how nasty or derisive Floyd may be to promote a fight, he is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS a gentleman after the victory. He said nice things about Gatti, complimented hatton, was cordial to delahoya. He went over and kissed hatton. He went over and hugged both marquez and nacho. To Floyd, there is a code. That is what he was taught. If you pull up the video for any post-fight presser, you will see a different Floyd. He is a dude that cries after victories. He isn't trying to confront or insult his opponents at that point.
So, i'm sure what Shane and Bernard did both surprised and hurt him. He didn't feel punked or scared. He was caught way off guard.

Originally posted by jpitt View PostI agree with that but he didn't win many of them. Vargas and Whitaker . I wouldn't call Quartey a mega-fight and Chavez and Camacho were way past it when he fought them.
Desrved a win or draw against Trinidad. Got robbed against Mosley 2.
