It was all set up anyway

Floyd has a choice to make, fight Shane or wait for Pacquiao

decisions, decisions

He will smoke both of them anyway. He will just make more money tearing Pac apart.

I'm late when did he say this? I don't remember him saying that.

He said that when Shane confronted him.

You mean wait for Cotto. Pac isn't leaving Vegas the winner on Nov 14.

Then why did he move up to a new division for the first time of 135 to challenge the champion JLC there and came in as underdog outweighed by 9lbs AND with a bad shoulder injury and still owned JLC? Why did he move up to 154 for the first time in his life and immediately faced HOF'er DLH there?
Wow, owned pretty hard huh Failure? Yea..I wouldn't show my face in this thread again either if I were you. Embarrassing.

Wow, don't get hurt yourself patting yourself on the back there genius. Yeah he stepped up against Castillo back in the day (everybody eventually moves up though, right?) And I would hardly classify what he did in that fight as owning Castillo you dip****.
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.

Huh?

Trinidad
Whitaker
Chavez
Camacho
Mosley
Quartey

****, most of Oscar's fights were mega fights.

That line by Money still cracks me up. Who the hell uses that excuse to get out of a tough situation. Playing a pick up game of bball doesn't mean you are boys. Have a feeling Money is way to emotional and gets the wrong impression easily.

Itook that as "why didn't you say something then?" He felt that Shane was grandstanding.

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.

I 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.

He did not own anything.

Quartey vs Oscar was a super fight (Top 3 WW both champions and undefeated, winner fights Trinidad for unification. Chavez was solid fight especially the 1st fight. Chavez 2 was just good fight. Camacho was good fight They where past it but still better than bums like Judah or Baldomir.

Desrved a win or draw against Trinidad. Got robbed against Mosley 2.

I can actually respect a lot of those reasons. Just seemed like Mayweather thought him and Mosley were on a more respectful level because they shot some ball. He shouldn't of been surprised IMO.
