I have a poll below asking if you think Floyd dodged this fight back in 2007 or 2008, but i want to explain my way of thinking and i encourage people to state their own opinions because maybe i am missing something here.
I have been looking up alot of past articles as to this fight that dates back to 2006. I remember before the Cotto vs Quintana fight when Miguel first moved to 147 i was hoping for a fight between Cotto and Floyd. Bob Arum said he wanted to get a few fights under his belt at 417 then thye'd talk Floyd. Then when Cotto Ko'd Quintanna in 5, then Urkal in 11, then Judah in 11 then UD over Mosley, then KO of Gomez in 5. I thought for sure we'd see it. Then all i remember is everytime Floyd would be asked about Miguel he'd respond with " he's too inexperienced, too young, not big enough name etc... This is the same guy who KO'd damn near all the common opponents that Floyd took the distance. AND Floyd was the one saying he challenged Miguel but BOB Arum wouldnt allow it a few years prior. So how is it that Foyd goes from Challenging the guy to then saying that hes too young, inxperienced, no big enough name? If this doesnt show you that he cherry picks his opponents then i dont know what does. I just hope and pray that Miguel sticks with a great game plan and shows he is still the fighter of old. And i honestly think with his trainer that they have what it takes to make this a great fight and come out with the W. Good Luck to Both men.
