    At below 140,I was a huge Floyd fan,but when he came up to 140 & ever since,he just been suspect to me!!I have gained some of the love I once had for him since he finally signed the contract to fight Mosley!!I simply cannot give him a pass as a truly elite fighter when ur at 147 & haven't fought anyone who's really credible there!!Baldomir is the extent of his resume,come on now!!

He won 9-3 but he could of been more dominant and he would of put little bit more pressure he could of stop Oscar... That was not a prime Oscar he was an old and done as a fighter... But, Floyd played it safe...
      He wasnt stopping Oscar. Hes not even a lights out puncher at 147 let alone 154.

      If you been a fan Floyd you would know since he started moving up he changed his style. Zab vs. Floyd was one of the biiggest fights in boxing.

      Those are interesting reasons to not be a fan. Judah and Oscar?

            Oscar was done he was there for the taking... Floyd could of done it if he put a little bit more pressure.... You are really overrating Oscar cuz you believe he was a top fighter at the time... He really wasn't...

            GTFOH with Judah being the biggest fight in boxing... really like what are you saying? It could of been but when Judah lost to damn journeyman not even a gatekeeper a damn a Baldomir. The Judah fight became a waste....

            And, it was long time coming... The Judah fight was the end of it... It coming from 2003 when he should of Spaddy or Johnston or even a damn Dorin yet he chose to fight Ndou and Sosa like WTF? At 140 when he could of fought Vivian Harris and chose to fight Henry Bruseles who? I still defended that bastard and then fight Judah? After Judah lost to a Baldomir? Baldomir was a borderline bum... GTFOH... that was a ****.... there was no need to fight Judah after.... Now if Floyd would of handled his business at at 135 and 140 against Spaddy, Johnston, and Harris I probably would of gave him a pass for the Judah fight... But, he didn't and I am not going to keep making excuses for the guy... You can but I am not that type of guy... I am boxing fan foremost then any particular fighter...

              What made y'all switch from fan to hater or hater to fan ?
              I always loved to watch him in the ring... but the hate he generates made me even like him more... but it always was that way with me...

              I never liked the role model kind of fighters like DLH or Mosley (I don't know why they never appealed to me even though they are good boxers)...

              I'm more the anti-hero kind of guy I guess... it is what it is...
