    Paul Williams? Fair enough. But let's be consistent. Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao, also wanted no parts of him. Let's not just say Floyd.

    Beating Carlos Baldomir for lineal > beating Margarito
    There was one or two windows of opportunity for Floyd vs. Khan, but as his pattern Floyd cherrypicked the slow flat footed short armed come forward Marcos Madonna 2x. The lower the risk the better.

    If he avoided Williams and Margarito, it is what it is. No need to throw any other welter in there we talking about Floyd avoiding guys who had height and reach on him post Hatton.

      Y’all hold on to that “objective” video like it’s the holy grail

          He wanted Oscar that was his biggest payday, and he knew it was the ticket to untold riches, beating a guy with 5 losses is not how the top guys operate when they on the verge of breaking out. Youre allowed your opinion I look at things like this in a much wider light as fans call duck anytime a guy doesn't fight who they think he should, and that's generally based on media not actually inside facts.

          Manny was offered his biggest purse by Floyd and refused was that a duck, or did he figure he could get more going another way, this happens all the time in boxing, TC just did it, Mosley did with Floyd, Cotto did with Floyd, its and endless list of fights that didn't happen that were business driven .
          I get it. Floyd can do no wrong to you.

          I agree, he was amazing.

          But he picked and chose his fights to stack them in his favour, or avoid. That cannot be questioned.

          Your argument would have more merit if you had some semblance of balance in it.

            Now you're talking like a girl throwing BS, he can do a lot wrong just like all the others have done the same things only you don't feel like kicking them , and that's the point.

            And you want to talk about balance, where is your balance, I can name lots of situations that are the same surrounding history's greatest fighters, are they all ducking or only Floyd, I have more balance with boxing than you can conceive.

              No, you're just making excuses like a blind fan.

              I can't take what you say seriously when all you have is excuses​

                Its a criticism. Who cares if these emotional Floyd Boys think somebody's hating on him.
                Floyd was all about the zero, so we all know he had to do what he did. If your all about the zero well of course youre going to avoid fighters with advantages, whether that's reach, height, weight, home advantage or whatever.

                  Genius businessman with an excellent team behind him but fraudster legacy filled with asterisks. May recently said so himself "currency over legacy," he's a rich sissy.

                    I don't see how Margarito would have had a chance against Floyd, with how bad Margarito's defense and footwork was.

                    Margarito ****** as a fighter. There's a reason he had 5 losses before fighting Cotto, and stopped knocking guys out after getting caught with plaster.

                      Obviously a genius. He sold his villain front and people bought it up. Rah rah'd during press conferences claiming hed knock out so and so then put on an amnesiac type fight. Kudos to him but bs to most fans who wanted to see tons of action
