Floyd, please fight somebody

[The Gambler1981]

he fought Henry Bruseles

Bruseles was a bum no doubt, but that was the eliminator to get to Gatti. Those others fights would not have got him the Gatti fight and allowed Gatti to get away thus not allowing Floyd to build his stature which lead to Oscar which leads to him being a huge star.

Right choice~

Dude is really irrelevant in the sport as far as I am concern.

you wanna hear something funny?

in 04-05 i was still a ***** and i used the Bruseles fight as the reason why Cotto didn't want any part of Floyd...they put that poor Rican up there to get a closer look and didnt like what they saw


i'm so ashamed to bring that up

both of those guys would beat the **** out of Henry Bruseles



run along noob

[Carpe Diem]

If/when he come back, oh well. If not, there are other Boxers to talk about.

We're comparing Margarito to Bruseles? WTF?

David Diaz as a skill level, like A or B or C level of a fighter, he is comparable to Baldomir.

Now if we want to compare Diaz and Baldomir to Bruseles than so be it... I personally think Diaz and Baldo are above him.

Didn't care that he fought Bruseles since I knew the circumstance but I always knew he was just a means to an end. Atleast you can admit something like that though that takes being a big man.

04-05 is when all the current talk about Floyd started, no one really cared about him except hard core fans but in 04-05 he started to generate a lot of ill will which has built consistently to this day. Kim and Fischer started it, then when he left Arum, Bob took it to a whole different level then everyone started getting in on the act as it became what a lot of fans wanted to hear.

The Gatti fight was a better example since Cotto was right there and the look on his face was not one which I would call excited to see Floyd in the ring.

Mayweather has a January 22 date on HBO, legal trouble notwithstanding. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason we shouldn't see this guy matched not only competitively--but in mouth-watering superfights--on a regular basis. If his next fight is against someone like Junior Witter or Lovemore N'Dou, you can count me off the bandwagon. What is this guy wasting his time for-- a PPV with Gatti? He can do a whole lot better. It kills me to see a young fighter with that kind of talent and connections p!$$ it away. I wanted to be on the bandwagon from the beginning! I wanted to tell people that I remember the great Floyd Mayweather back when he beat Gernaro Hernandez for his first title. Don't get me wrong, he's still young and he still has all the potential in the world, but his career has lost so much momentum in the last couple years.

Floyd, please start the year with a Corrales rematch, Vivian Harris, the winner of Casamayor-Castillo (honestly, he beat you the first time.) If you really must protect your overhyped Gatti fight, at least give us Stevie Johnston, Acelino Freitas, or Paul Spadafora. There's no reason to fight somebody we know you can beat.

besides harris everyone on that list was at a lower weight so why would floyd go back down in weight to fight them especially after floyd beat 2 of them 3 times(castillo,corrales) and vivian harris got knocked out the day floyd stopped gatti
