Why are boxing fans so obsessed with fighters from the past?

[Ham Porter]

No he didnt liar. He structured his career to get two money fights with Oscar and Gatti. His haters accused him of ducking ten to twenty fighters who were in between. They werent even good enough to test him. He has so many haters that credible boxing people find themselves repeating things that they say. Why repeat lies that you know are empty? lol

But when he retired people accused him of retiring to duck because they got it from SRL

Structured his career is just a fancy way of saying avoided more dangerous, threatening opposition in route to bigger, more lucrative fights, SlurpaMan. That's exactly what he did with Margarito, whom he rejected two offers to fight.

And when there was a legitimate, undefeated contender that everyone wanted him to fight back in 2008, he made the same excuses & showed zero interest in fighting him - and didn't until four years later, after said contender was heavier, more shopworn & two battering's removed from his peak.

He never avoided anyone he never saw them as a threat, they werent a threat. He just chased those two money fights, and you all made up the ducking crap.

Im not up here taking up for Floyd and lying about him. Im just not going to talk bad about him just because its the popular thing to do. When he came back to boxing he fought people bigger, stronger, faster, and closer to their prime than the easy fights you say he "ducked". U talking about Margarita look; If he ducked him, then he ducked him. Im saying right now, he DUCKED Pacman. He looked at Pacman like a beast, and fought him five yrs later identical to SRL.

But he did NOT duck no damn Margarita, he wasnt even a good fighter and Floyd never looked at him as a threat. So stop making up lies. Casual fans dont even realize how sharp Floyd is because of dummies like you who repeat folklore about how everyone he faces is no good.

He walked down Canelo in front of millions of casuals. He was 37 weighing 150lbs while Nelo was 22, weighing 165lbs, and casuals dont even realize how amazing it was. They didnt know that boxing could be executed at that level. But they dont know how special it was because of liars like you who push this negative agenda against Floyd. I can say he ducked Pac because its TRUE. But Im not going to just lie about him to hurt him he been doing so much for boxing and I think its bad for the sport the way you people talk about him.

He been doing a hell of a job and Im on record saying I think he loses to Pac unless he makes a major change!
