    Again,

    what does Pacquiao have to do with this thread?

    This is about Floyd,

    and once again,

    many of you have refused to answer the question, but instead talk about Manny in an attempt to divert the attention away from the original premise of the thread.

    I'll ask again,

    why, in the last 5 years, and we can go back further if you'd like,

    has Floyd fought mostly older and out of prime fighters in this portion of his career?

      Just what I was about to post...nonsense, plain hating.

        If that ends the thread,

        how did I make this post?

        That thread doesn't do anything but say there were better fights out there for him.


        If anything, you're making him look worse by posting that.

        Instead of Mosley, he could have fought an in prime Pac.
        Instead of a 2 fight lightweight in Marquez, he could have fought any top 10 welterweight.
        Instead of Hatton, who is a jr. welterweight, he could have fought undefeated welterweight Miguel Cotto.
        Instead of DLH, he could have fought any top ten welterweight.
        Instead of Baldomir, he could have fought Margarito.


        So what you're really doing is showing how more often than not,


        he took the path of least resistance. So, in a way,

        you answered my question.

        Thanks.

          He can't keep up with the younger dudes or what?
          Cause he only fights guys with a degree of talent when he has an advantage in the fight, either weight or age is usually the main criteria.

            And thats it in a nutshell,DK. Will we ever see Floyd fighting on a truly level playing field? I will wait until we hear who he intends fighting in September,and if the answer isnt Pacquiao,then I guess we can take that as a no.

              After scrolling thru this thread it really makes my head hurt that *****s actually defend Floyd for fighting a journeyman fighter named Carlos Baldomir when any number of WW at the time were miles better.


              Seriously do critics even mention Jimmy Braddock when they talk about Joe Louis and his resume? No!!! So why would Baldomir who was nothing more than a Cinderrella story even be mentioned as a "Quality win" for Fraud?

              For *** sake he was defending the Undisputed WW title against Arturo ***ing Gatti the fight before. You know the guy who never did **** at WW.

                He can't keep up with the younger dudes or what?
                1) because with DLH,Hatton,Mosley is where the most amount of purse he can get.
                2) Baldomir,Mosley,DLH were the title holder at the time.
                3) besides the younger dudes right now are not in the same caliber of fighters,in term of money to be earned,title,etc....they have to be looked at collectively.
                And it all goes with the rest of the fighting world. be it from Klitsckos, Hasegawa to Calderon.

                      I thought this was a hot topic. However, after reading the thread, out of 119 comments on this thread so far, about 100 of them seem to be from the thread creator. That is very sad.
