    I went to all 4 of those fights. I know Floyd could have knocked out JMM and Baldomir. I wanted him to take more chances vs Oscar and I was impressed with his KO over Hatton. Dissapointed because I spent 2k for the oscar ticket, 1k for the Ricky ticket, and 700 for the Baldomir ticket.

    FLoyd is a great HOF ATG boxer. And I expect him to KO every boxer. Realistic no Am I optimistic Yes.

      No. Floyds been boxing since 1996. You know what you get with him. The only people disappointed were rooting for the other guy.

          i didnt buy marquez, baldomir or gatti
          The DLH fight I expected to go that route. The JMM and Baldomir fights were major disappointments in my opinion. The Hatton fight was ok, thoughnIm still glad I didn't buy it, and the Gatti fight was very good for what it was. Floyd could have made both the Marquez and Baldomir fights like Gatti with the possible exception of not getting the ko. Jmo.

            JMM and Baldomir he dominated. He shut them out 24-0.

              Yeah they've told me but haven't shown me a thing. SHOW me. Not everyone who doesn't like Floyd has to make hate threads. And anytime I am critical of him I back it up with facts and logic.

                Do you not think given his abilities and his dominance that these fights could have been much more entertaining if not anymore one sided? I do and thats why I see them as a disappointment, not because Floyd won. I'll tell you right now Floyd will beat Mosley and Pac, but I still want it to be entertaing if Im paying for it.

I mean the guy is great. I wouldn't expect every fight to be "edge of your seat action", but he could let it hang out a lttle more in my opinion given his boasts and taunts leading up to these events, no?
                  No. Thats not his style of fighting. Why fight in a manner that decreases your chances of winning? Make no sense.

                    as a fan of floyd....i admit that part of his gimmick to sell his fights is the fact that he's undefeated. im not saying he won't sell fights after his first lost but, people hate his guts so much that they would dish out the money just so they could witness him lose is first fight. floyd is a businessman first and he knows a nice chunk of the people who buy his fights are his biggest haters. once he loses his first fight he will not be as exotic to his haters has he would if he was undefeated. in order to protect and keep that hater-base strong he will do whatever it takes to win....meaning he'll shell up, pot-shot and throw only when he knows he'll land. unfortunately for his haters or even casuals, floyd is so good that he can win without throwing punches.

                      Come on bro, you know those fighters were totally outclassed and had no chance. Why did he open up on Gatti, but not these guys, especially after all the hype he promoted and saying what he was going to do? That makes no sense in my opinion.
