    He tried to fight your boy, but he wasn't ready yet

        He didn't try to fight the 140 champ in his country because you know that offer would have been accepted.

        Floyd and Bob were only ever interested in backyarding it, even when Hatton was the draw and the man in the division.

          Lol, u are a really bad hater sometimes. U say this but u wouldn't give Floyd credit for fighting him 7 lbs higher? That's pretty ridiculous.

            Why are you acting like weight classes don't matter? Could Sergio Martinez beat the best fighters of 168? I mean it's only 8lbs right? poor logic DR.

            Matthysse is unproven at welter, we have no idea if his power (and main strength) will carry up. We know it's legit at 140.

            On the fight at 140, I just think at some point Matthysse lands the punches he needs to over 12 rounds. Not the Matthysse that fought Zab or Alexander, but the more aggressive one that has KO'd his opponents since then.

              Lol weight classes matter sure but to say mathysse would knock Floyd out 1 weight cksss below is absurd. No credit at 147 but gets knocked out at 140? Same guy advertising for golovkin vs Floyd at 154. Wtf did golovkin do at 154? Do weight classes matter or not, what is it?

                Nice logic considering Martinez started at 147, where as Hatton at 140.

                  Freddie Roach says that power generally doesn't carry up, that's why he doesn't expect Rios to stop Pacquiao (his words). Matthysse is mostly about the power.

                  Imo Keith Thurman knocks out most of the top 10 at 147, but at 154? I don't think so. It's like Paulie says, we have weight classes for a reason.

                    Lol just say weight matters when u want it to. Dont use that weak ass excuse. Power can carry with weight, it has for numerous fighters. And power isn't the thing that determines who wins anyways. Its one factor among a bunch. U are being a hypocrite and u know it

                      No, 135 was the best Floyd.
