    It ended lovely, I'm sure when peeps decide to buy Mayweather's career set they're especially gonna enjoy the Ortiz fight, it's good comic relief.

      Ortiz IMO. Was a utter shame how the fight ended. Ortiz was defiantly having success and forcing the action. Cotto was a threat, but has been damaged goods for a while.

        no he wasn't bro...his ass was getting walked down by the smaller floyd and getting lit up


        Cotto wasn't a threat either...to be point that people freaked out that he actually won a round or two

          I highly doubt people will end up buying Floyd's career, the baldomir fight was my favorite.

            Mosley,Ghost, oriz,and cotto with there pressure/brawler type style are tailor made for technician like floyd and anyone that tries to argue against that knows **** about boxing.

            I am puzzeld and lost for words to why he chose canelo, maybe he got tired of himslef picking soft apponents.
            See floyd is the only that knows if he is picking softer apponents or not, maybe he wants to prove to himself that he is the alpha.

            Anyway you cut it floyd is going in against a young prime, sharp shooter,with Huge power that also happens tp be a tecnician that can pace himself.
            He is soo far from being on of floyds normal bullrushing comforward apponents as you can get.

            I think floyd made a mistake taking this fight
            Like Manny Pacquiao? Wait. No. But that's why Manny is considered the greater fighter. Multiple losses and all. See how that works?

              Mayweather scared of Bradley.....seriously??? Bradley could have signed with Top Rank to get Manny or Golden Boy to get Floyd. It's well known Top Rank and Golden Boy ain't doing business.

              And yeah the Marquez fight was bull......but looking back now, it looks pretty good.

              And no I'm talking everyone. If anyone else in the sport fought Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto at 154, and Guerrero when he did, it's considered a legit and good fight. But if Floyd fights them, it's terrible.
              I'm being sarcastic, thats exactly how pacfans sound though.

                  sans 2010 Pac, nobody that Floyd ducked was gonna beat him
                  assuming "legitimate threat" here simply implies a meaningful fight
                  in that case, it's Ricky Hatton in 07
                  Floyd's had some credible fights, but no meaningful fights since then

                    You can make the argument that TR at times got in the way of some fights that could had been made with Floyd
                    If Floyd beats Canelo, I'll give Floyd 100% credit. No excuses.

                    Again some people got the wrong idea, I'm actually praising Floyd for taking on Canelo. The first non-cherry pick fight in a very long time. G**** Floyd.

                      Castillo and Corrales almkst 20 years ago. His fans overrate the hell out of Victor Ortiz yet no one thought Ortiz would even come close to beat him. Ortiz is a goddamn joke. Then not making weight vs a FW in Marquez, fighting Hatton only after looking like butt vs Collazo at WW, Mosley after he went thru two whole trainig camps back2back. Oh and ****ing retiring like a faqqot when there was nowhere to run. **** THIS *****MADE FAQQOT!!!!
