    Floyd should acknowledge Oscar

    Floyd should give Oscar credit his PPV success. Floyd always talks about other fighters become successful because of him. Floyd needed Oscar to become success. Before Floyd beat Oscar he was not a massive PPV star. Floyd's style is not exciting and people were not knocking down the door to see him fight.

    One of Floyd's most masterful performances in my opinion was versus Gatti. Floyd was letting his hands go and throwing combinations. Floyd for the last several years just throws 1 or 2 punches at a time. Floyd should acknowledge without that Oscar fight it may have taken him a few more years to get to the level of PPV success that he always speaks of.

              And WHAT will that do for him or Oscar?........Who besides you are sitting around thinking "i wish floyd would give oscar some credit" He makes Oscar Alot of money. why doesnt oscar give Floyd some credit for the money he makes Oscar. If he does, youre still gonna find reasons to hate him so it doesnt matter.

                  I can understand your point but why would floyd give ODH credit? HBO created 24/7 not ODH. Floyd's antics/performance on 24/7 sold that fight and made him a star, not ODH.

                  ODH never did more than 1.4 mil before (with the caveat that ppv was different yet TYson TYson and HOlyfield drew larger numbers) or after floyd.

                  Other than thanking ODH for finally fighting him after floyd chased him for a couple years why would floyd thank ODH?
