We know it will never happen for a million reasons but if he did he would get slaughtered for that choice. Is that fair though? Thats the question. JMM talks about fighting Bradley and everyone is down for it. Bradley can literally fight anyone right now from 140-147 and everyone would be down for it. There isnt one guy to where you would say that its not an interesting fight, except for Floyd.
Its not just a size thing because Floyd is only 150 and I also think you could even have a prime Margarito or Cotto and people still would be intrigued by how a Bradley fight would play out. Its even the same for Guerrero. If he had fought literally anyone from 135-147 people wouldve been very interested in the fight but with Floyd its a crap fight and cherry picking.
The only guys Floyd can fight right now are 154 & 160 pounders who are natural at that weight and have him by atleast 15 pounds in the ring. If he doesnt pick them then its not a fair fight. At the same time these same people say that Floyd lost or came close to losing to Oscar & Cotto. Even Lampley is talking about Floyd not fighting triple G. Seriously?
I dont think you can penalyze a guy for being that good. The funny thing is that he has no advantage. Its not like he comes in at 162 and is beating guys. He's the smaller man in every fight. He's barley over the limit yet he's still not allowed to fight there. There are hardly no bad fights right now at 140-147 for anyone but Floyd is not allowed to fight any of them or its a crap fight.
The only guy he might can fight and get away with it is Matthysee and thats only because he's starting to get HOF status. However, all of that would be before the fight. If Floyd killed him then he would get no credit since Matthysee moved up even though Floyd came from 2 weight classes lower than him and will be smaller than him in the ring.
I want people to name some guys you would rip for fighting Bradley & Ghost and also name some guys who Floyd can fight at 140-WW without getting ripped. If you cant name any then you arent being fair and you are penalyzing him for being too good
