    In all fairness Dynamite, Mayweather did what champions do. He took an immediate rematch. Four months later. Didn't have to. Contemporaries such as Oscar would've ran.

      You gotta favour Floyd, but Marquez is a live opponent for a warm up imo. It will look good on Floyd's resume as far as im concerned. If Floyd beats Marquez THEN goes on to beat Pac. I will seriously start thinking about giving the dude some props.


      1. So you say Floyd had no trouble with Castillo and you thought Floyd beat him.

      THEN You make a thread TODAY saying Floyd lost. You are a troll.


      2. You also if Floyd beats Pac you will give him props. Yet I bumped a thread you made after the fight saying that if Floyd beats Pac he gets no credit.

      You are a troll.

      I own your pathetic ass.

          If you fight someone twice you WILL! have a much better idea of how to fight them and how to prepare for them, Mayweather got found out by a B class fighter and needed another crack at him to get it right because he could not figure him out first time.

            You know - I'm beginning to think perhaps you aren't quite understanding what I'm saying. When I say an elite fighter, I'm not referring to pound for pound. I'm talking at a specific weight. Kelly Pavlik - the undefeated, undisputed champ - is an elite middleweight. He is an A-Class middleweight. Super middle? Not so much. But middle? Yessir.

            With that in mind, there is no question that Castillo, who beat far more top fighters than a Pavlik or a Hatton, was an A-class lightweight.
            Right. I was trying to say the same thing. I even pulled up the definition of elite, but he rejected the dictionary definition.

            It's kind of interesting to see how Shane's LW reign has been elevated. He never fought the best in the division (Bazan, etc) - actually, he fought some pretty bad fighters. But because he leaped to 147 and did what he did, his reign at LW has been looked upon as some incredible feat; as if he was untouchable then. We really don't know - although he sure looked the goods.
            Good post.

                So you say that Castillo got lucky with Corrales and Casamayor. You don't acknowledge Stevie Johnston accomplishments in that weight and you also question Castillo wins. On top of that you noted that Hatton beat Collazo which many know he lost the fight and is why he went back down to 140.

                You have your facts all wrong, either you havent seen the fights or you are just reading them off of some site

                    I like Dynamite, you can tell he loves the sport. But sometimes I think he just started watching it and is trying to catch up.
