    In late 2007, Hatton was next for the floyd/odh winner. Its hard to argue SHane /floyd would have been bigger with shane coming off collazo win as opposed to 2010 coming off destroying plastertonio when he was recognized as the best ww in the world.

    Floyd wasn't fighting in 08, he was dancing and rassling. He got lucrative opportunities and took advantage of them. Perhaps, if odh, cotto, shane had not refused to fight floyd prior to this, maybe he doesn't seek income outside the ring.

    Floyd left TR to ge a ODH shot. If you were floyd do you stay and fight Margs or fight the lineal champ in Baldo knowing a win gets you an ODH fight? EVERYONE takes the Baldo/ODH double.

    Respectfully, I can understand your point that floyd could've uplifted boxing by making these fights and not pursuing other things. But I don't think he owed it to them or anyone. Floyd BEGGED odh and shane for fights and they turned him down. WHere is the condemnation for that? I don't think its right to burden floyd with that and justify it by saying well odh fand shane ought vargas and tito.

    You have to acknowledge boxing is different in the ppv era. Floyd an Al are simply taking advantage of it. Now if you want to criticize them for it go ahead, but that doesn't mean floyd is responsible for fights not happening when they should have.

    Floyd is not resonsible for making up for what odh, cotto, and shane didn't give fans before he retired just because he makes the big money now. Nor is he responsible for making up for manny walking away from the fight.
    You make alot of great points, and i do really like talking with you,,,

    Bottomline is i just wish floyd would have been more like ali, srl and oscar, but he is more like roy jones,,, great talent, ATG type talent, just kinda sheltered himself from what fans wanted to see,,,,,, I think it hurts him legacy wise,, but floyd has made huge money, so i cant complain too much,,
    Just wish things had played out differently because i love watching floyd box,, he is an amazing talent

      Floyd is already top 10 all time, I can not think of many boxers in history who can "BOX" as well as Floyd. And I repeat the sport is called "BOXING"!!!

        OMG

        Floyd is nowhere near top 10 ATG

        great boxer, great talent,,,

        but he is 15-35 range

        srl, hearns, armstrong, ali, robinson, etc

        ATG take ATG fights,,,

        Floyd doesnt have the big fights on his resume to even compare to the top 10....

        corrales, JLC, Hatton, genaro are your best wins,,, You cant be top 10
