Why is the Fighter of the Decade an Underdog and Making Less Money Than Floyd?

[WarriorSoul]

Another NSB thread worrying about another man's money...

Just let the man have his FotD award and stop crying

98% of the guys on thos forum didnt know who Floyd was until he fought Oscar. A bunch of fucking noobs.

And thats what I have to accept, where as you and I have been following Floyd's career since the Olympics we sometimes forget that the people we arguing with on these boards only started watching boxing in 2007.

you base that percentage on what source?

On the fact that ONLY a small as group of posters can actually debate intelligently on Floyd PRIOR to the year 2005.

Most of the people in this VERY thread seem to think that Floyd started his career in 2007.

Actually it is the title of the opening post, not just the thread title. Nice try.

If you've been watching Floyd since the Olympics that would mean you're an actual boxing fan so why the hell are you making threads on a boxing website that would be better off on an accounting website?

Who exactly are you talking about?

If Floyd didn't take the sport seriously then maybe I could find the time to hate his greed and money grubbing. But the point is he respects the sport and does what it takes to be the best. Money, as I wrote, is just a persona, I respect Floyd's work ethic. Just watching him train sometimes inspires me to get out and run 3 miles.

And.....do you wait until the inspiration goes??

He was a killer in the Olympics only 19 cracking heads. Bronze my ass.

Relative size has nothing to do with this discussion we're talking about 2 great fighters facing off and even if all else was perfectly equal the fighter with the size advantage should win. Pacquiao demanded a 145 catchweight against Cotto because hes not a full fledged WW, Mayweather didnt meet the catchweight against Marquez because he is.

Floyd moved up from 130 to 154 and never required any fighter to meet him at a catchweight, even when he was clearly the smaller man as when he fought Oscar, Castillo, Baldomir, Gatti, Judah, etc...he never requested or required a catchweight.

It only makes me think you are a noob when you state Floyd was bigger than Marquez as if thats the story of his career. Okay smart guy name another opponent Floyd was physically bigger and stronger than and please dont mention Ricky Hatton cause that would be a lie.

The small group who knew who Floyd was in the year 2000?
