Why would a great fighter need to beat fighters coming off loses and use catchweights

Btw, since so many of you like to bring up Floyd let's look at what Floyd's last 5 opponents did in their fights prior to fighting Floyd: Baldomir- defeated Zab Judah, was the lineal WW champion, De La Hoya- KO Ricardo Mayorga, the WBC SWW champion, Hatton-4 round KO of Luis Castillo via body shot, undefeated and held a belt at WW, Marquez- terrible fight, Floyd cheated Marquez and should be called out for it, but Marquez was coming off a KO's of Joel Cassamayor and Juan Diaz, Mosley- brutally KO Margarito, was the number 1 ranked WW in the world and number 3 pound for pound fighter in the world. For all of you crying about what I have to say, why don't you just stop crying or stop reading and posting in my threads? Nobody is forcing you to read my opinions, so if you don't like it kick rocks and take your whining ass elsewhere. God bless!
For Floyd, its OK who he fights as long as the guy won in his last fight?
Even though you said what you said about Floyd picking Marquez you then went onto defending Floyd by saying this:
- BUT Marquez beat Cassamayor.
- But Marquez beat Diaz.
So what!!!
Baldomir defeated Judah:
- But Floyd still fought Judah. Right? How come?
- Who did Baldomir really beat that was a good WW?
- Baldomir had a golden egg and took advantage of it. Floyd did too when he faced slow-mo-No-Name- Baldomir!!!
Oscar beat Mayorga:
- fought 1 full year before the Floyd fight.
- Mayorga had already been KOed by Trinidad.
- But what did Oscar do before that win? He lost 2 of 3 and the one he won was controversial as people thought he lost.
- Oscar's most meaninful win prior to that was 2002 against Vargas.
- Oscar's trainer said, Oscar couldn't pull the trigger anymore (in Floyd's fight)
Hatton you said beat that version of Castillo at 140 and that is your defense?
- Hatton fought once at 147 and then went back down.
- Hatton was a career 140 fighter NOT 147.... but Floyd fought Hatton at 147.
Mosley you said beat brickless Margarito
- What year was that?
- Even Floyd said he needed a tuneup fight after his inactivity. So you think Mosley didn't require that when he fought Floyd?
- Mosley was #1 because of what he did on January 2009. Not for anything he did in 2010, let alone May 2010.
- Mosley was already way past his prime and almost 39. He had problems against Mayorga and before that lost to Cotto.
- FLOYD SAID PRIOR TO THE FIGHT: My game plan will take into consideration that Mosley is OLD!!!!
Its funny that you guys bring up that Manny ducked Mosley (which is incorrect as he fought Cotto who beat Mosley) but you avoid that Floyd ducked Margarito to fight Baldomir. Floyd was even caught recently saying, "I knew that there was something su****ious about Margarito and that is why I didn't fight him" .... not exact words but along those lines.Last edited by ADP02; 03-07-2011, 12:21 AM.Comment

Nope, the difference between me and *******s is that I'm no nut hugging fan boy. I can and will criticize Floyd, can you say the same for *******s? I don't think Floyd is the GOAT, and I know he's been guilty of cherry picking too. It's funny how you guys think I'm a fan boy just because I call Pac out for his BS, well guess what I do the same for Floyd. For example, my biggest beef with Floyd is that he didn't fight a young and undefeated Miguel Cotto, unlike many posters here I have no desire to see a Mayweather Cotto match these days, I feel that Cotto is a shell of his former self. If Floyd decided to fight Cotto now best believe I would criticize him.Comment

Do you mean thewar torn but still prime Barrera, the already past it Barrerra, the Morales that beat him, the Morales coming off a loss and couldn't made weight anymore(just what they wanted) and the draw and very disputed win Marquez that even the filipino writers said won the fight?

Dude are you really this naïve? Sergio Martinez is one of my favorite fighters, in fact he's the current number 1 pound for pound fighter in my eyes. I would favor Sergio to beat Floyd. Why didn't Pacquiao want to fight Mosley after he trashed Margarito? Why was Pac so anxious to fight Mosley coming off 2 terrible performances? Do you think Pacquiao would've fought Cotto after his win over Shane Mosley? Do you think Pac would've fought Margarito after his KO of Miguel Cotto? I highly doubt it. If you can't see that Manny is a cherry picker you're hopeless.
Stop complaing about catchweights when Cotto hasnt even used that excuse. And if he did do, nobody would believe him anyway. If cotto said the 2lbs was the reason he lost, people would reply oh quit making excuses coto, pac would have beaten you anytime any place anywhere.Comment

Why would a great fighter need to bring fighters up 2 weight classes and still not even bother to make the agreed catchweight.Comment
