Mayweather Judah was not a waste of time. Judah was not past his prime and did not look bad back to back like Mosley did who was nearly 39 years old. Sorry you can not compare Judah to Mosley. Mosley lost to Mayweather and then couldn't even beat a boxing TV reality star in Mora. Judah lost one time and because everyone wanted the fight in the first place Floyd took it.

Pac said "NO" to Mosley. Its not like Floyd ducked Judah like Pac did Mosley after he beat the exposed Margarito.

....and wasn't the Margarito fight about money issues? Is that not the ultimate reason Floyd fired Bob? Hell why didn't Floyd fight Cotto back then? Why hasn't Floyd fought any Top Rank fighter since then? Bob Arum......

Margarito would have been toyed with by Floyd Mayweather any how. That POS is a bum and f**king disgrace to the sport. I hope dies in the ring.....

Mosley drew with a reality star. Judah lost to a journeyman...how is different?

You keep talking about issues with the Margarito fight. Like if we're talking about the Baldomir fight.

Are you confused?

We talking about the fight with Judah. And, the options Floyd had but still went with the garbage waste of time fight with Judah.

Just, Wow...

This post was from pure emotion...Lay off the juice man. Seriously.

Of course you were calling for the fight, you are a huge Floyd fan. You really don't care who he fights. That is understandable. To act as if "everyone" (the word you chose to use) wanted to see the fight after Zab lost to Baldie is, well, misinformed.

Also, I don't care what Brian Kenny says, I was pointing out that he was one of the people that gave Floyd crap on a number of interviews cause of the choice.

Others did aswell...Including Fans. I never said that "no one" was interested in the fight.

It's just that "everyone" was a poor choice of words on your part.

Actually I was a bigger Zab Judah fan.... I wanted Zab Judah to win, just like I wanted Hoya to beat Mayweather. Judah, Hatton and Pac are all the same. EVERYONE wanted the fight, they just didn't get them when they wanted it... again who cares what Brain Kenny has to say an way to pull him out of left field as if validates anything. I remember the flak Floyd got for fighting Judah when he did. I remember the flak floyd got when he fought Hatton, Hoya and Mosley.... Pac will be next.

Juice? I've never been busted, I'm clean.

Please stop.. Judah lose to a journeyman that was suppose to be a tune-up. That's why he was no longer a viable option for Floyd. And dont lie, Baldomir was not rated higher than Marg when Judah fought him. Marg was rated #1 contender behind Judah..Baldomir hardly made it to the rankings.

Blado was the WW champion at the time.... Marg was the #1 Contender and Judah was #2 when Mayweather moved up to WW to fight both guys.

Merchant has a very valid point about Bradley. I honestly don't think Judah will beat Khan, but if Alexander wins big, gets a shot at Khan first and beats him, which i think is more likely then Judah winning, then he's gotten the big name win Bradley missed out on.

I know it's a lot of "ifs" but still within the realm of possiblity.

some of the people you bring up are the same people who said floyd was ducking ricky hatton. then when floyd fought hatton and disposed him, the same people said hatton was no threat. but i watch pac in absolute joke fights and the press lets him and top rank get away with this crap. and yet critique floyd for almost every fight he takes. double standard?

[WESS]

After reading this post again...Wess, what are you talking about?

Why bring up testing? I didn't. Why bring up Margo or Baldie's rank (Margo was ranked #1 ya know)? I didn't. Why in the world bring up Pac? I sure the hell didn't.

I simply replied to the fact that you assume even after Zab lost to Baldie, that "everyone" still wanted that fight. That is simply incorrect.

Because when Bob Arum/Pac send over a fax to Al Haymon/Mayweather with a signed document or contract agreeing to the testing and Floyd fights Pac, you will see just as Floyd's past opposition is discredited because they didn't get it when they wanted it... or at least that will be one of the many excuses. If you have followed Floyd long enough you will see that haters have a 24/7 job.

Marg was #1 contender, Baldo was Champion. Judah was #2.

Bro, you are really missing the point here...

I am speaking about your use of the word "everyone", nothing else. I then provided Brian Kenny as a reference cause there is vidoe of the exchange between him and Floyd about the fight choice. I also said there were other experts, and fans that were turn off cause of the lose.

I all reality, you are assume I have given flak to Floyd about who he chooses to fight. I have not.

Matter of fact, you don't even know how AI feel about the situation. You said "everyone", and you would be wrong.

Also, please keep in mind my remarks are post Bladi.
