dude, he never tried ko'ing JMM. he wanted to rounds and i can see itnow. if he would have ko'ed JMM. yall would have said some dumb **** that floyd was a bully for koing a LW

shush hater

Do you even have reading comprehension? I said most people try to hate floyd for not KOing JMM, but I didn't since I know that ain't floyd's style.

Hatton reminds me a lot of Jermain Taylor. Not comparing them skill wise(cause JT is better) but in the way that after they got knocked out the first time they were not the same.

exactlyright.......

I agree to most of what you have said, most casual fans either don't remember or don't care about the politics of the sport, which I can understand. Who gives a **** about the leverage Bob Arum is trying to use in his negotiations for his fighters. That said, we have to talk about it when discussing "who is better" May or Pac? Whether we like it or not, like Floyd always says, he is his own promoter, and as a promoter he has to set himself up for the most money possible. I personally believe he lucked out landing Mosley. He really had no where to go after Pac's team said no. So, now he has to save face and promote this fight to the fullest. No way, do I think he ever actually wanted this fight. I'm not saying he's scared, but let's be honest I guarentee he felt that Mosely carried the most risk and too little money. Floyd is nearly as smart outside the ring as inside, more so than people on this site give him credit for, but that is not always characteristic casual fight fans care that much about. Anyway, the **** that's taking place on May 1st should be great.

Come on man. We all know or should know already that Floyd
called Oscar and Shane out when they were in their primes fighting
at 147. I doubt that Floyd was scared to fight Shane or reluctant
because as soon as Berto pulled out, Mayweather jumped on
the opportunity because before then, Floyd hadn't made any confirmed
announcement on who he was going to fight. Floyd tried to make
the Pac fight happen, which was the biggest fight and once that
feel through he went for the 2nd biggest fight at 147 in the sport
and that to me seems like the reason.

right guy, how do you feel this when floyd called out shane twice when shane was clearly in his PRIME.

stop the excuses

[GRUSTLER]

Shane ducked floyd when floyd was still unknown to the casuals or public, then floyd ducked shane when he became famous then it finally happened.

OK nuff said.

The Baldomir fight just stand out totally dude.

The wars with Barerra, Morales, and Marquez KILL any combination of 3 fighter's on Floyd's resume

You're too focused on the names. It's not who you fight it's when you fight them. Amateur when it comes to boxing. But you're a pro when it comes to hatin!

By his assessment I guess Alfonso Gomez must be a beast cause he beat Gatti and Castillo...LOL

[Illdil]

WOW!! A guy who's a natural LW/LWW coming all the way from FW moved up all these weight clases and fights WW's and everyone is accusing him of ducking all the WW that's halarious

[Carpe Diem]

Like i said before. Like i said before. Shane Mosley might actually win this fight.
