      it's funny how bias can obscure perception. castillo and de la hoya not challenges, laughable really.

The fighters from then on he's fought haven't been bums whatsoever, but they haven't really been the most challenging fights he could take. Did he make good business decisions, Absolutely.

        And yea, Floyd is looked at as one of the best 130lb fighters of all time, but that was also quite a long time ago. Floyd's been a WW since 2004...we're in 2010 now
        Partly I agree... but I don't see why ppl only faulter Floyd for it... sometimes ppl act like he could walk around and pick his fights... he can do NOW... but back then he wasn't an Ray Leonard type of guy...

        He fought the best at 130... he fought the best fighter at 135... he wanted to fight guys like Casa, Freitas etc. too... but my man JRo enlighted me on this subject... the problem back then was the networks... they were showtime fighters and neither network was putting enough money up for this fight.

        He went to 140 to fight guys like Tszyu... Tszyu lost to Hatton and was out of the picture... he wanted to fight Hatton and Cotto but both were green at the time (still champions though)... I mean who else should he have fought or wanted to fight... guys like Gatti even though they ain't get credit were guys who were 2 division champions... not one but two... pretty good for a bum if you ask me...

        He went up to welter and beat 2 top ranked welter weight champions... could have fought Margarito yes... but is Margarito a great fighter??? He then went on to make business... if you blame him for fighting DLH and Hatton over Margarito at the time or even Cotto, who came up later to 147... I can't take you seriously dude... everybody wants to fight DLH and Hatton...

        He retired... I wished he would have taken the Cotto fight with him... Cotto became hot at the time and had the right to call himself the best welterweight through body of work...

        He came back to fight Marquez... I ain't give him too much credit for that because of the weight still it adds an sure HoF and probably ATG to his list and goes on now to Mosley a sure HoF and probably ATG...

        I really don't know where the problem is... sure is resume is a bit name lacking but it is not his fault that there were no ATG's around his weight... the only one was Mosley back in 99... after that no ATG was nowhere near his weight until now Pac and Mosley... he fights Mosley, he wants Pac... I don't see where the problem is dude seriously

          God bless the Cowboys fans... the only ones who make really sense *looooooooooooooool*

          We really need a number 1 WR (i would like Marshall or hope that Bryant or Benn fall to you in the draft)

          OL most def. run blocking wise they are good.. but pass blocking wise it's ridicilous...

          Kicker def. *looooooooooool*

          3rd down LB... Carpenter has no instincts... he runs around like a snake without a head...

          Safety can always be looked at...

          But it is still good to finally have won a playoff game... I was actually crying... no **** tough *looooooooooooooooooooooool*

            Yeah some people are really ****ing ******. Not to mention he was the best 135 Pounder int he world and Floyd moved up and fought him FIRST.

            LMAO.

              it's really sad that this is an absolute must for this offseason. even more sad when you look at the kickers that we've had since boniol.

                Most def. I mean Folk was good... WTF happened to him???

                And Sushi... well it is what it is...

                WOW... I just googled him because I thought I was too young to know him... I became a fan at 1990... they were still loosers but something draw me to them... but Buniol??? WOW... I'm shocked that he was the kicker of our SuperBowl winning team... I mean I could tell you a lot of guys that I still remember.. troplets of course... Maryland... Haley... Washington... Brown... Sanders... Norton... Williams OL... Novacek... Moose... but Buniol I really missed him *loooooooooooooooooooooool* DAMN, how could this have happened

                  LOL I don't need tissues bruh, I don't worship fighters, just call it like I see it. But who are you mentioning moving from 106 to 154..Pacquiao (147 you mean)? Truthfully, at this point, let's focus on Mosley because that's no walk in the park for anyone.

                  Edit: I think you meant to ask if Floyd's never faced a challenge from 106-154 (Technically 126-154 professionally), and I say he has, up until he reached the top. We bring up castillo and Corrales, but let's not pretend that was a year or 2 ago.

                      I'm sayin though, look how long ago that was. That wasn't necessarily 1 or 2 yrs ago which is my entire point.

                      Before people start calling me a Floyd hater (which I'm not at all), let's not pretend like Floyd has fought both the most lucrative and risky fights all together more than him looking for the biggest check. Oscar was hig big payday, but I personally never went in thinking at all that Oscar would win, but HBO made people believers, you gotta give it up to them.
