In your honest opinion who "scared" Floyd the most?

[daggum]

Cotto had a chance to fight floyd at 140 and declined. Baldomir was the LINEAL CHAMPION when floyd fought him and was a bigger win than either cotto or margarito. Cotto wasnt big until he beat Shane in a close decision, Margo wasnt big until he beat Cotto. AFTER floyd already left Arum to make big boy money with DLH at 154.

Put it this way, Floyd beat DLH at 154, nobody is picking either Cotto or Margo to have been able to do that.

floyd had a chance to fight cotto for years when he was actually a threat. fight never made. floyd had a chance to fight margarito when he was ranked #1 for 3 plus years. fight never made. look what happened when baldomir scored an upset win. fight made! because baldomir sucks. don't give me this crap about baldomir being better than proven fighters simply because he's lineal. that's like saying zsolt erdei was better than tarver and hopkins because he was lineal. if margarito was lineal floyd was going to fight him? yeah that must be why he retired....division's clean he took care of baldomir!

^^^ this guy speaks the truth.

[Oh you out son]

Shade, thats not true. Lets say it was, since manny just tried to make a catchweight fight with Cotto for a rematch instead of fighting floyd. Using the logic in this post, does that mean he is afraid of floyd?

mayweather is treating pac like an opponent. where as pac isnt the opponent. Manny is the opponent, floyd is treating manny the same way SRL made Hearns wait 2 years, Hagler 5 years, and fought Duran while he let the hearns fight "marinate". Do you remember this? floyd has also fought bigger fighters, most recently cotto, not at a CW like Manny.

Besides what does 8 titles have to do with anything? Manny is getting treated like Hearns/Duran/ Hagler were. the difference is they wanted to fight SRL so they accepted the offers they got. Oh yeah SRL retired too. DId that mean he was afraid of Hagler?

Was SRL afraid of Hearns because he made him wait? Of course not, it was a business decision, same as floyd.

SRL was scared ****less of Hagler you fool. Go watch the espn special documentary thing on their fight. And during their fight when Hagler taunted him to stand and fight with him and stop running around the ring like a *****, SRL said "no way." SRL didn't even win that fight even though Hagler had a bad strategy, trying to box for a bunch of rounds. Dundee would call 30 seconds at end of the round, SRL would do some flashy flurries, after losing the rest of the round, then the judges would give it to him.

but at least SRL did fight those guys, since 130 lbs Floyd has ducked all his biggest challenges.

[*Boss*]

state your reasons why you think floyd NEVER EVER ducked anyone in his career, i think a lot would be interested, i know i am.

aren't you guys tired of making the same threads over and over gain ?? **** is getting sad already.

Truest words ever, that was like margarito confronting floyd of the 80's, fortunately SRL after getting what gloves was to be used, how big the large ought to be, etc finally fought the great hagler. he ducked a rematch as well./

It is against the law to think that Floyd is scared of inferior Cotto, Margarito, or Pacquiao. Not when Shane, and Marquez exist..

baldomir was the guy to beat at 147, go look up the timelines on boxrec because you werent paying much attention in those days. Cotto and margarito were nobodies at 147 at that time.

Seriously its enabler floyd fans like you that caused floyd legacy to be the laughing stock of the whole boxing universe.

You and other flowmos made floyd a pseugo-great instead of a certified all time great

Floyd fought Judah in april 2006, Baldomir in November.

Cotto fought Paulie M in june 2006 at 140 and Quintana at 147 in december


Baldomir was lineal and Cotto had not even had a single fight yet at welterweight. You guys are so ****ing ******ed.

Floyd's LAST fight at 140 was in 2005 against Gatti, with Cotto ringside when they both were under Arum. Cotto said no way to a floyd fight then. Hatton's trainer also said openly he wasnt ready for floyd, so floyd moved up to 147 to face judah for the lineal title, judah lost his stay busy fight so floyd fought them both.
