    i seen both.

    zab-floyd was not an easy fight to miss.

    chaves fight i saw because i wanted to see the pac-agapito fight, which ended up to be dreadful.

    floyd has made adjustments but rarely. not a knock, it's a compliment.

      Floyd went to 140 with every intention to fight Tszyu. That's who he wanted. He was very local about that.

      Timelines, as well as opposing Networks, meant it was basically impossible.

      Floyd went for the next guy down, Gatti.

        I think Pacquaio has him beat in almost every area.
        he's better skilled than pac.

        pac just has superior physical attributes than him.

          I disagree, I think Pacquaio is a lot more skilled.

            I said follow the timeline -- and Dan has broken it out for you. Not much really needs to be added.

              ppl like to rewrite history about floyd and pac.

              baldo and zab was not cherrypicks. baldo was lineal champ, zab deal was done before zab lost to baldo. yeah floyd probably shouldn't have fought zab but it's not like he picked zab after he lost.

              delahoya and hatton were big money, can't pass on that.

              floyd didn't become a cherrypicker til he RETIRED and came back.
              When Floyd was champ at 130, HBO tried pushing for a unification with southpaw Joel Casamayor. Floyd told them he would leave them if they didn't drop it.

                  And in both instances, Floyd fought in a far different style than what we're accustomed to seeing. You can even see in Maidana I & II different styles. He doesn't fight one way. In the case of Chavez and Judah, he went almost exclusively to in-fighting. Against Chavez he backed himself up toward the ropes a lot and broke him down. Against Zab he stalked and forced an inside fight.

                    iirc opposite.

                    kostya was next after gatti.

                    either way it doesn't matter, he wanted a kt fight. it's just hatton got there first.

                      That's funny because he was at Casamayor-Freitas, harassed them throughout the fight and demanded to fight the winner at the post-fight presser.
