Floyd does NOT call out smaller fighters...

[Animal Squabbs]

I'm starting to get tired of seeing you guys talk **** about Floyd saying he only calls out smaller guys. His last two fights were against smaller guys, but THEY called HIM out! There was talk about Floyd fighting hatton and Hatton is the one that went and called out Mayweather during that interview with that "you seen more action in dees fo rounz den ya seen in Mayweathers whole career.". Ellerbe even said that that is what made Floud want the fight. As for Marquez, Floyd NEVER mentioned JMM ever, JMM is the one that called out Mayweather in a post fight interview. It came from out of nowhere, even Mosley was laughing. Now when you look at it from a smart business point of view, you are coming off a layoff and when choosing a come back opponent you have a possible loss against a beast like Shane Mosley or an easy win over a smaller guy with a name that is calling you out. Ofcourse he's gonna fight jmm.

The only guy I remember Floyd ever actually calling out was Oscar De La Hoya, and that was when be was at 135 and Oscar was at 154. Infact it was so ridiculous that alot of people including me thought that there was no way the fight would ever happen.

and one of those 2 so called smaller guys started 2 divisions higher than Floyd, beat a WW beast in Collazo, and weighed in against Collazo at 159 pounds while Floyd was only 146 at WW at the time but Floyd picked on little Hatton. Thats not even including that outside the ring Hatton is 10x bigger

he has only fought one genuinely smaller guy,its only the fact that it was marquez that people got so upset,coupled with the fact that some people dedicate their lives too hating floyd of course

Would you fight Gary Coleman if he called you out?

So what you're saying is, that out of the long list of fighters that have called him out such as Mosley, Margarito, Williams, Marquez, Hatton, Floyd opted to fight the smallest ones?

Floyd, IN GENERAL, does not call out smaller fighters.

Floyd called out Naz when PBF was at 130 and Naz was at 126. Floyd offered Naz a fight at 128, but hamed didn't want none.

He decided to fight the ones with the biggest fanbases.

pac is a great fighter and just beat up a top welter,but what i find funny is that when/if floyd beats him,he will just become another smaller guy floyd has beat,its bad double-standards from the floyd haters

And as far him not fighting guys like P-Will or Margarito, I can understand that. There's a point that fighters reach where they don't have to fight anybody anymore, their already a top dog and chose who they fight.

Floyd had already won belts and beat names at 130, 135, 140... He already established himself as a top dog and is fighting in a higher weight than when he started, he's entitiled to get the big money fights now, he's earned it. Ofcourse as a fan I would have loved to see Floyd vs Margarito, but Floyd is on a level where he doesn't have to fight a tough unknown, like it or not he's a star player. Once they make it to the upper e helon they normally only fight other upper echelon fighters. Is anybody gonna say Pacman is ducking Kendall Holt? Is PAC ducking Timothy Bradley because he's fighting Floyd instead? How bout P-will, is he ducking Cory Spinks? Just like Margarito was a title holder in Floyds weight class and people were hating on Floyd saying he can't be the best at that weight... Spinks is a title holder at P-Wills weight.
