Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I'll Miss Mayweather's Action Packed Fights

[imperial1]

Yea, Canelo ,Cotto, Pacquiao, Marquez,Dela Hoya, Mosley, all hall of famer's were cherry picked. Hate Mayweather all you want but stop with the bullcrap.

Mosley
Canelo
Cotto
Marquez

Are in the HOF ? This is news to me what you trying to elevate some of his opponents into something they are not to suit your agenda ?

[imperial1]

Why do people complain a about this hand picking crap. If Floyd hand picked all his opponents then what do you call what your favorite does? Floyd hasn't been -1000 odds in 10 years. Meanwhile these boogie men of today fight guys at -10000 and get praised for it. People hold Floyd to rediculously high standards without even realizing it

Hold up I'm not saying people like GGG don't hand pick guys ,he ain't fighting no killers himself now

Implying that Cotto, Marquez, and Mosley aren't future hall of famers

This is actually true , i dont like floyd fighting style but i cant say he hasnt fought world class opposition , he picks them sure but rarely he picks berto level fighters , when he took on Maidana/Canelo ppl here were screaming for a beatdown same with Pac , meanwhile the next generation in WW :
* Brook -> fought 1 guy because he had the title , otherwise fights no one.
* Thurman -> "won" a title , fights no ones.
* Khan -> fights no ones.

those are the top 3 WW .... sad........
I have no problem with Floyd fights, just the way he fights them , but for each is own and he is a clear level beyond the rest in BOXING , which is a sport with different effective styles and strategy not everyone should/could be a power puncher.

dela hoya is just saying the truth. Ask anyone if it's not 100% correct. Boxing fans will remember froid as the PED user than a boxer.

I agree..Boxing will remember the De La Hoya as a coked up ****** than a boxer.

Out the 3 maybe Cotto might make it not sure about the other 2

So, you're 'not sure' if Marquez and Mosley can make a Boxing HOF that includes Arturo Gatti?

Yeah, ok.

[vitali1999]

Haha. Oscar really tells it like it is. I didn't even bother to stream it. Played Gta5 online instead. As I can see I didn't miss anything either. Like I said before and was right the winner by unanimous decision Floyd money Runweather !!!!! Good riddance to bad rubbish !!!!!!!!

Higher atg with what win ?

Name any win on Floyd Armstrings resume that's better than Delahoya's win

Over Whitiker or Chavez Sr ?

Comparing resumes like that...one win. Name one win better than Douglas over Tyson...oh, there aren't many wins better than that. You see your logic? It's the entire body of work.
