floyd is a great boxer, but why so much praise for beating a LW?

    I never denied that Floyd beat Marquez.
    How are my emotions talking? because I said that if Marquez was to fight someone 2 weight classes below him he'll look just as good as Floyd?

    Explain how I'm using my emotions? I never do that in these forums.

      You remember when Floyd moved up from SFW to LW and beat bigger Jose Luis Castillo for the title and again beat him in the rematch to clear up the first controversy, why does he not get credit for that?

          Thats what Im saying...people were picking JMM like he could be the one to beat Floyd....Floyd was in a "lose lose" situation, with only sure Money, So basically Floyd did what he had to do and better.
          JMM is great and he was not forced to take the millions for the ass whoopin he took. JMM has the choice on whether to stay in his division or move up.
          SAME WILL BE SAID WHEN COTTO BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF PAC.
          COTTO IS IN A LOSE LOSE SITUATION TOO (WITH ONLY MONEY TO GAIN).
          Cotto loses , he is a bum, Cotto wins, he beat up a smaller man.....and the beat goes on.
          Floyd gets respect...now next.

              So should I discredit Pacman for getting KTFO even tho that was 70 years ago?

              A lot of people felt he lost the first one, ESPECIALLY MYSELF, so how is it that he gave him, when Jose was the bigger guy at the time, a rematch and beat him clearly and still he gets no credit 2501 on the wrist?

                floyd gets respect because he's a great boxer, but he doesn't get any credit for beating up a blown up LW.

                  What about Roberto Duran? Is it not the same situation when he moved up all those weight classes? Why couldn't Marquez give it a shot. Duran was never as light as Marquez but then again Marquez isn't exactly moving up to middleweight either.

                    Shouldn't you get credit for overcoming challenges?
                    And why do you hate on everything he does , you shouldnt hate on a fighter and praise others for the same things , you should not always be so negative .

                    Like Pullcounter the in the closet hater that couldnt take Floyd being successful again so now he just continues to show what a dumb ass hater he really is with all the bull**** he keeps posting .

                    The bottom line haters , Floyd is a winner and you are losers , live with it .

                      Sure Sure!..if he lost everyone would be saying how great JMM is and Floyd cant beat a blown up...blah blah blah.
                      No one forced JMM to fight Floyd and look so bad, he rolled the dice and got blown out, because if he won it would have been like hitting the lottery.
                      So Floyd gets much credit.
