It has to be, no one cared that Pac fought Clottey. They only mention Floyd fighting Judah.

Who and what were you referring to here? It's something called context. Still having fun?Last edited by Calilloyd; 04-27-2010, 03:29 PM.Comment

The answer is "it depends". Among the factors are...
Did the fighter come off a physical beating... or a technical/stylistic schooling?
Had the fighter moved up in weight, and was returning to his comfortable weight?
Was the fighter in his prime, or was the loss perhaps indicative of an age-related decline?Comment

Was Judah "decisively" beaten by Baldomir? Which of the first five rounds did any of you give to Baldo?Comment

Yeah, so I am talking about Pac's win over Clottey, I never mentioned or made any reference to Floyd....I in fact ignored him completely.Originally Posted by 2501

judah losing to a journeyman should have dq'd him from any big fights. clottey losing a nip and tuck fight to a top fighter like cotto should not. martinez losing to williams in a nip and tuck fight to landed him a fight with pavlik. if martinez had just lost to k-9 bundrage then it would be a disgrace to fight pavlik.Comment

Who cares if they are bigger. Pac is a WW man. Period.I never made any mention of Floyd or anything related to him like the aftermath of Judah/Baldo and am disinterested in talking about it really.
I was just responding you discrediting of Pac which you simply can't do here and have any credibility as both Clottey and Cotto are IN FACT bigger men than him and top level fighters.
I didnt discredit Pac. This thread is about fighters fighting people after a Loss.
So you dont have any problem with Judah-Mayweather right? Since Judah wasnt decisively beaten either.Comment

I care and so do most ppl because size is how fighters are classified, and nah Judah is a talented guy and gave Floyd some trouble early anyway like he does everyone one, Floyd adjusted and beat him, then beat Baldo too so its fine.Comment
? I think that clearly shows who got "spanked" lol Judah-Baldimer has nothing to do with Mayweather huh? lol
