Does Floyd only fight tune-ups?

[Lead Cenobite]

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

Weak even for you.

[FightFreak]

C'mon, folks. Floyd is just going after guys on his hit list. Prime ATGs like Nate, Paulie the Guido, Saul Alvarez, Matthew Hatton. That why he came back, right? Dominate the sport, man. That's his thing.

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

All you have to do is watch the countdown show and see all the boxing pundits and experts pick Gatti. The usual suspect clownshoes like Ron Borges and Dan Rafeal. And guys from the Ring.

I'm not saying Gatti was favored by everyone. But then I didn't check the "vegas odds" at the time. I'm just going by general sentiment at the time.

[ИATAS]

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?


******.

Because he HAD to, ******. The boxing public demanded it, since many people thought he lost and people were screaming robbery.

Compare floyds resume at 130 up to Castillo to that after. It speaks for itself as far as challenges go. Floyd seemingly took the easiest paths possible ever since.

Normally when my "mentality" is changed, I don't know I'd run from a rematch.

Your argument is at best trash. Maybe you should have started the hand picking argument at 147 where is where most people with a brain tend to start it.

And yes Oscar was an easy path. Good call.

That was weak. Even for you. A countdown show is made to hype a fight. Of course they wont bring unanimous opinions in support for one of the fighters. Heck some even (was paid to) said JMM had a chance........

OKay well just thumb through your copy of the Ring from that era. Should be simple enough for a boxing know it all like you.

Oscar was an easy path, he fought once in what, 3 years since getting KO'd by Bhop?

Before Castillo:

Jesus Chavez
Carlos Hernandez
Diego Corrales

After:

Victoriano Sosa
Arturo Gatti
Baldomir
etc.

You are very naive if you cannot see through a pre-fight hype show........
