ok well that was clearly a joke in reference to someone else saying how all pac fights were fixed. and how didn't mayweather fake retire? it's pretty clear he did it just to avoid cotto and margarito. he left when they were peak and came back after they were beaten to fight small marquez and old mosley. now he's fake retired or gone on vacation again to avoid pacquiao. why is this so hard to see it's right in front of your eyes.
Judging by todays standards Floyd's win over Baldomir is totally legit.

While this was not directed at me ....
Floyd has been WW since 2005. Those guys (Williams, Cotto, Margo and Pac) you mentioned WERE AROUND between 2005 - Present but Floyd didn't fight them.
Part of Floyd's criticism is that he fought a bum like Baldo but never fought the ones he should have when they were the most feared.
how many years since 2005 did Floyd spend on the sidelines retired??? Yes he came back....but most who retire do!!! He retired after the ODLH fight, and then again after the Hatton fight. So yes he has been a welter since 2005, but are you tying to tell me he should have fought Williams and Margarito instead of HAtton and Oscar.......seriously????Comment

funny i would have thought Margo peaked with his victory over Cotto....didn't Shane do a demolition job on Margarito and put his name at the top of the list after Pac????
Or should Floyd have fought Margo and not Shane instead???Comment

Please, let me know of the elite fighters that he won during those 8 years? Anyone can go for a long stretch like that until they face real opponents.
Oh, it's funny that you mention Floyd being small but forget to mention that the only reason he got the title is that he beat 2 smaller guys than Floyd. Gatti, who was not a 147 fighter and Zab, who I believe should have stayed at 140. Finally, this was not Floyd's first fight at WW and his next fight, he weighed in officially at 150!!!
When you think of elite fighters, I hope you don't think of Baldo. If you think of really good fighter, I hope you don't think of Baldo. If you think of a feared fighter, I hope you don't think of Baldo!!! ......... I can go on ....Comment

a 38 year old mosley or a prime margarito. which is a harder fight for floyd? answer-the one he didn't takeComment

he said similar things about Shane not long before they fought.......Comment
-
yea but then he realized shane was 38 years old and getting battered in sparring for the berto fight. ta da he fights mosley!
he said those things about cotto but never fought him. probably cause cotto is not 38 years old and didn't get battered in sparring.Last edited by daggum; 10-10-2010, 03:29 AM.Comment

irrespective.....he fought ODLH retired. Came back fought HAtton and retired. Are you suggesting he should have fought Margarito instead of either ODLH or Hatton??
Why didn't Pac fight Margarito instead of ODLH at 147 when he was peak instead of fighting Margarito now???? So which one.....a 35 year old ODLH who hadn't made 147 in 7 or so years or a 30 year old Margarito??? Which would have been the harder fight???
These arguments can be made for any fighter!!!!!!!Comment

Shane did a demolition job on Margarito.....he looked great. So Floyd decides he is suddenly shot and it's safe to fight him, when only a year earlier it wasn't??????Comment

You must admit that taking a vacation and not facing all these guys when they were the most feared does not look good....... now he did it again while the other guy is looking for him and accepting OST.how many years since 2005 did Floyd spend on the sidelines retired??? Yes he came back....but most who retire do!!! He retired after the ODLH fight, and then again after the Hatton fight. So yes he has been a welter since 2005, but are you tying to tell me he should have fought Williams and Margarito instead of HAtton and Oscar.......seriously????
Hatton (140 fighter) is like fighting Baldo and like fighting Marquez(135 fighter). It favored Floyd big time. Oscar, while I would agree that it was a smart move to make that fight ..... if you care to check Oscar's stats and extra curricular activities, it pushed the fight in Floyd's favor, big time.
So, instead of fighting a Marquez, Baldo and Hatton and be on vacation, he could have fought a Manny, Margo, Williams and an undefeated CottoLast edited by ADP02; 10-10-2010, 03:41 AM.Comment
