    If you want to find out that information,

    make that thread.

    We're talking aboud Floyd here and how in this portion of his career,

    hes mostly fought guys who were in their mid to late 30s, and well out of their prime.

    Stick to the topic chump. You have questions, make your own threads.

    This ones mine, and I'd like to know why Floyd has spent the last 5 years fighting mostly older dudes when younger, in prime fighters were available.

        What does Manny Pacquiao have to do with Floyds selection of opponents?

        I'm not sure.

        But can you tell me why Floyd, the so called pound for pound best ever,


        has spent the last 5 years fighting guys who are mostly in their mid to late 30s?

          By what ?

          I brought up facts, indisputable facts.

          Can you tell me why Floyd chose to fight mostly guys who were in their mid to late 30s in the past 5 years?

              You occasionally make some really good points, but you just take it overboard to the point where you have no credibility and just get lumped in with all the other garbage NSB ****s.
              You have reading comprehension problems too.

              They have tutoring for that.

              You should try it out so that way you can understand what words mean when they are put together.

              The key words and phrases here are,

              "mostly"
              "portion of his career".

              When you can figure out what those mean in relation to this thread,

              you'll understand why Hatton was placed here.

                Mosley- #1 WW
                JMM -2 wars with the #1 P4P king
                Hatton-undefeated at the time 140 lb Lineal champ
                DLH-split decesion win (DLH was competitive)
                Baldo-Lineal WW champ

                As for your analogy if you are over 30 you are not a good boxer, I guess experience doesn't count. All of the sudden all these fighters are bums?

And I explained why he fought the other fighters. Your clearly just out of your way to bash Floyd and whoever disagrees with you.
                  Not to be an ass but you should get your facts straight. Floyd has fought 39 fighters, he has fought 40 times. I know he likes to say 40 have tried, 40 have failed, but that is just more evidence of how dumb he really is.

                      And here we have another irrational Pac fan. Man does this get old.

                      Mosely's so old that he's "too good" for Pac to step into the ring with without coming down to 142. So old in fact, the Pac dodged him completely.

                      DLH was so old that after Floyd fought him, Pac decided he'd fight him a COUPLE YEARS later, and ensure that he was drained and dehydrated coming into the fight.

                      Hatton is so old that after he was ruined by Mayweather(By Roach's own admission), and had taken a beating from Juan Lazcano, Pac decided to schedule a fight with him.

                      JMM was so old, that just a year earlier, according to nearly every fan, analyst, and expert at the time; He'd beaten Pac down, and arguably, for the second time.

                      Baldomir was so old, that he was coming off of wins over both Zab and Gatti.

                      Hilarious.
