Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Floyd is Not Credited Enough For Carrying Boxing

[maguirre]

A guy who can't fight without juice (3 positive tests) and accuses everyone of the same **** he's doing is a malicious person. He doesn't deserve anything in my book.

[Mr. Fantastico]

mayweather will never ever get the respect that boxing reserves for true legends.

Ellerbe full of ****....

Yes floyd is a draw,,, but one loss and his mystique is done, and he wont be much of a draw....

The sport did just fine from 2007-2009 when floyd was "retired"

This is nonsense....

[ddangerous]

Nonsense. Floyd isn't credited that much because most people don't think its necessary to point out the obvious. And also because Floyd credits himself enough for the entire boxing fan population.

[Reloaded]

The only thing Floyd carries is heavy cheques. Boxing was fine, better even without him when he 'retired' the first time and it'll be so much better when he retires and takes his circus with him. The wife beating, the once a year mismatches, the ducking, the cherrypicking, the failed drug tests, the excuses, the bs, the flowmoes, al Hymen etc. The guy is a stain on the sports history as well as its present, could have given so much but decided to just take instead.

You should pay him for owing you , I laugh my head off at you fools and how he owns your mind lol , everyday he dominates this forum because of you haters lol .

FCK Ellerbe **** sucker

I don't think people give Floyd enough credit for the Mosley fight. Mosley was knocking everyone out until Floyd. Shane completely dismantled Margarito when he had just TKO'd Cotto and looked like a BEAST. Shane beat him easily. He rocked Floyd twice in the same round before getting out boxed. Once Floyd beat him, everyone said Shane was past his prime. That's just not fair. It was Manny who actually ducked a prime Mosley. It came directly out of Freddie Roaches mouth. Who was more dangerous at 147 than Shane at that point??? Manny??? Who was Manny brutally knocking out? Shane was a MONSTER up to that point.

Mosley was a shell of what he used to be when JR should have fought him years ago while in his prime.

I get why hardcore fans missed his presence in the sport when he retired.

What I don't get is this ****** notion that his disappearance affected the sport. First of all, he bored and disappointed a lot of people in his fight with Hoya. George Foreman called him a chicken in that fight. Floyd avoided a rematch and fought Hatton instead with the same chicken dance.

Why in Neptune would you miss a boring runner? Majority of fans were okay without him. He gets these PPV numbers because of the hate. They want to see him lose.

Brusseseles ndou gatti sharba mitchell baldomir gurrero, Ortiz Corley Sosa augustas old washed up mosley? Shot Cotto hatton losing to castillo come on dude

You're a well known Floyd detractor on this forum, I get it, but it's ok to put aside your agenda and judge a fighter objectively. Genaro Hernandez was no push over. Neither was Angel Manfredy. He moved up to 135 and beat the #1 guy there 2 times in a row in Castillo. Moved up to 140 and beat a past prime still good Gatti coming off his Micky Ward victories and 2 consecutive KO wins in title defenses. Then critics said he wouldn't fight Judah because he could lose, he signed on to fight him, Zab went on to get beat by Baldomir and Floyd was hugely criticized for still fighting Zab. Beat him for his IBF title and then immediately beat Baldomir who was the undisputed 147 champion, like it or not. Then jumped to 154 to take Oscar's title, then beat the #1 guy at 140. He retired and guy's like Margarito and Paul Williams were racking up GOAT status victories over Kermit Cintron and redemption victories over Carlos Quintana. Came out of retirement and beat the #2 guy in Marquez, the guy who arguably beat the #1 guy several times. And he beat him at the same weight that he knocked Pacquiao out at. Then he cooked a past prime still good Mosley immediately after he destroyed everyone's favorite fighter in Margaritoand people said that Floyd wold duck him and that he would lose if they had ever fought. Then he went on to KO Ortiz who was, whether you like it or not, the new man at 147. Then he moved back up to 154 to take Cotto's strap. Each of these fighters I named were all World Champions at the time Floyd got to them. Now he's facing Canelo Alvarez, another world champion who everyone say's will be his biggest test, not to mention what he just did to Robert Guerrero, who has never been a pushover. It's actually a pretty decent resume considering the era's & weights in which he fought. But, that's only my opinion.

respect is earned and fraud jr has never done a damn thing to the sport that deserves respect.
