in actuality he never was..its was just that floyd became the money man after beating oscar and everyone wanted the grand stage..not just prime black fighters..fact is vernon lost 2 unification bouts with mayorga and outgrew 147 moved to 154 before floyd even got to 140 vs corley
everyone from 154 to 160 even some 168lbers were willing to drop to 147 and 154 to take on floyd...but the fact is none of those clowns never proved they could make the weight and floyd went on to beat top men in his stacked division time and time again
if u look at vernon at 154 and look at his rehydration weights there is no way in hell he would hav made 147..
floyd went to 154 all the way from 130..147 he was willing to fight anyone..he's made it clear 154 only for the money!....vernon was not the money and decided not to prove he can campaign at 147 anymore
hard to call a man a ducker when he fough higher ranked guys or guysw that were still alive, no disrespect.
Reply to Wizardsh: You contend that Floyd has fought so many champions and top contenders, well, there is 4 to 5 times as many fighters who are "Champions and contenders" boxing talent is weak today. Floyd does not make top 5 welterweights of all time.
