Did Floyd "retire" in 2007 because he was shook by the 147 division heating up?

    Your last sentence makes it clear you prefer sensationalism to facts.
    Hattonne fight at 147 which he arguably lost to collazzo.
    Shane: way past prime, coming off 17 month layoff
    Zab: don't even need to say anything here
    Maidana: best win is against a 135 lb hypejob
    JMM: a 135 lb fighter at the time.drinking his own piss to try to get bigger lol. Were there no welters he could fight?
    Went to 154 because he knew he was fighting two guys that were shot. Makes a young champ in Canelo come down to 152. Wonder why?

    Surprised you didn't mention that Baldomir was the lineal champ lol!!!

      Shane was 40 and had been inactive for many months. Shane called him out on ESPN in June 2007, but Floyd chose a man smaller than himself, namely Hatton

      Hatton was not a welterweight, he fought at 140. In his one fight at welterweight he didn't look very good (Collazo).

      Judah was coming off a loss to Baldomir, he usually fought at 140 anyway.

      Maidana deserved at least a draw.

      JMM had never fought above 135 before, Floyd was MUCH bigger.

      Floyd couldn't even make the agreed-on catchweight of 145!

      Floyd waited until Oscar was faded, while ducked the prime version from around 1998 until 2004

      Cotto was past his prime after the brutal KO losses to Margarito and Pacquiao

        Tunney there are better ways to vent because Larry asked why wlad keeps refusing ped testing.

          That has nothing to do with it. I'm supporting Pulev in the November fight.

          I was just explaining to you Floyd's cherry-picking and avoiding the best when they are at their best.

            If you have to criticize it, fine with me. If his 147 resume was so easy someone else would have done it before him.

            Since they didn't you have to try and knock it. Ok.

            Question-how did manny do against pwil and Margs at 147?

                Nobody did it before him? What?, beat a 9 loss Baldomir? Gatti? A 40 year old Shane? A shot Oscar? A quitter in Ortiz? A bum lightweight in Guerrero? A faded Cotto? A drained Canelo? Please man, your act is tired.

                  And I'm not here pumping manny up am I? I'm just shatting all over Floyd's weak azz resume. Manny is just as bad. He's got Bradley at least who is better then anyone Floyd has at welter.

                    Gatti was at 140, doesn't apply. You keep knocking guys solely because it's floyd who beat them. Pathetic and childish.

                    You didn't answer the question regarding pwill and margs.

                      If you think bradley was a better ww than Shane than you are essentially killing your own argument because tim had 1 ww win when he fought manny-casamayor. Hatton had 1 ww win and it was better than tims.

                      See what I mean-you are crapping on it only because it's floyd. Typical.

                      It's friday night. Go out and be smooth, J.
