Does Floyd only fight tune-ups?

[B u r n e r]

Seems so long ago when Floyd was fighting the best opponents possible. God I miss the 130 pound Mayweather.

I believe Castillo changed floyd's mentality.

The guy he beat twice???

Or Did his split from Arum contribute..giving that the best 147's are Top Rank Fighters.

Truth be told its Oscar.

Since the Oscar fight Floyd only fights for CASH.

when you get that close to losing, sometimes a phobia develops



true story

It's kinda why I think losing early in your career is often a good thing (bernard hopkins for example, paul williams to a lesser extent).

There are a number of guys who go undefeated for so long they just don't take risks because of that "0" (mayweather, calzaghe, ottke, etc.)

Gatti wasn't exactly the most formidable of opponents at 140 was he? In a way that was a tune-up for Tszyu or Hatton at 140. Both of which never came.

Sidenote: What on earth are you doing here pisspac? This thread has nothing to do with Calzaghe.

Oh I'm sorry, the words Tune up = Not formidable at 140? Cool. That's what "tune up " is now hmm?

Chalk it up to irrational hatred of Floyd and newness to English.

The Gatti fight was not a tune up. Don't be ******ed. It was a goal of his and at the time a big fight with fairly even odds at best. Gatti was considered too big and too strong and floyd too small, too weak and not able to "take the heat".

Nah the guy he nearly lost too. I think coming so close to losing made floyd a little more pickier as to who his opponents would be from then on.

Gatti was a heavybag. He wasn't the real challenge at 140 and you know it.

I thought it was clear I stated I believe it started long before oscar (immediately after castillo) that he became pickier w/his opponents.

This makes no sense. The guy he nearly lost to. So you're saying that changed his mentality.

So why did he IMMEDIATELY rematch the dude right after and own him?


******.

gatti was a 4 to 1 underdog pretty even odds i would say.
