    They barely came together after years of negotiation for Lewis vs Tyson. They was not going to come together for Floyd vs Kostya.

    That is why I find out Floyd call out bull****. Because HE KNEW that fight could never get done. And, his fans know, at least should know, that too. But, that is why I don't get why everybody brags about Floyd calling out Kostya. When everybody damn well knew that fight was impossible to get made.

    It is easy to call out anybody if you know your call out or maybe even your bluff would not be accepted.
    See Jro I can have this Convo with you because you actually know something about the sport.

    I ask this question to dirk but he avoided it, Even if HBO vs. Showtime wasnt a issue

    How many lay off's did Kostya had between 2002-2006???
    Kostya just wasnt active enough to fight Floyd, and when he came back from another one of his layy off's he lost to Ricky Hatton

      At tail end of his career he was fighting once a year. Had a couple injuries and what have you. But, still beat top elite JWW's during that time period like Sharmba Mitchell. Before fighting Hatton.

        He knew the deal. He is a smart dude. He knew the fight was impossible to make. That is why the call out is bull****.

        Why call somebody out if you know there is no way in hell that fight could be made? Just cuz it can seem that you wiling to fight anybody and everybody is just avoiding you?

          A *****sexual would pic Floyd to win a fantasy matchup against a t-rex......, simply because they think Floyd has the edge in speed and reach....

          but in the same breath say the fight would be ****** and inconceivable because dinosaurs like Barney are old and played out and dont not sell PPVs...

            Jro, I love the argument you making because essentially you are saying if you know a fight can not be made because of Legalities, why call a fighter out?

            As you say happen with Mayweather vs. Kostya

            Well Jro you know me well enough, to know what my response for that type of logic would be.

            Can I apply this same kind of logic to people who called Mayweather out?

                  Of course, When legally you can not make a fight. It is bull**** to call somebody out. You know is damn well impossible so why do it?

                    Can't think of anybody I'd favor over Floyd at 130.

                    That's something that you probably won't see for a long time if ever.
