    Look, I can't blame floyd for making 100 milly fighitng, but it doesn't mean he's challenged himself to the fullest, which is what psychopaths like myself care about. And it certainly means that he should never ever be mentioned as one of the best boxers ever.

    The guy is an lower end ATG, but it kills me that he could have been a top 20 atg if he wanted to be.

    I just get pissed with these lame excuses people make as to why he never really tried to fight the best, post "pretty boy". To say that he would have never gotten oscar if he fought margs is just plain fanboyism.
    where did I say that? when did I imply it? seriously man.

      take some concessions and fight better fighters at better points in their careers, and chase some guys. if he takes said risks and wins, he would only win in the end

        And who are these fighters?

        Who are these fighters he should have fought that would have made him a Top 20 ATG? "If he wanted to be"?

            No JMM. And maybe no long layoff if he stays at TR. SO it all comes down to which road is tougher- Margs, Cotto, Pac or Baldo, ODH, Hatton, JMM, Mosley.

            Is the TR road tougher?

            is that enough?

              Yeah I remember Pac v. Cotto. I think Pac fans bring out the worst in some people. To this day I have a hard time reading some of their posts.

                Taking that fight would have made him a Top 20 ATG?

                  I don't know that it is.

                  Arum was insistent upon Floyd not fighting Oscar. He thought that it was a bad idea.

                  Even more so once Oscar left.

                  I don't think "The World Awaits" happens with Floyd under the Top Rank banner.

                    They're delusional.

                    But they are acting humble now because they know what's coming. From 06-11, all they did was disrespect Floyd and talk **** about him ducking Cotto.
