      sorry i was just spreading my knowledge on the great floyd tbe mayweather. some people unfortunately forget his great fights against baldomir, phillip ndou, henry bruseles, etc...

        yes. was marg the number 1 contender at welter for 4 years? oh he lost eventually so floyd's ducking was excused. i like how this system works. if canelo waits 4 years for ggg to lose and never fights him he wasn't ducking him! thanks for the loophole larry

          Not for nothing you're like a whiny little girl. And it not just Floyd.. Your posts are all reserved for crying and sarcastic remarks about six different fighters. Trolls are funny and all but after a while the same old crap gets stale. I recommend you drink and post fart videos in the lounge for a bit then return with some fresh material for NSB.

          I believe in you, lad.

            don't make me cry the way floyd cried after the baldomir fight.

              Oscar didn't make Floyd. He might've gave Floyd his shot but Floyd was the one selling the fight. Go back and watch the press tour and 24/7. Oscars fan base is different from Floyd's. Oscar was popular because he had a lot of female fans. Not the case with Floyd at all.

                what a ******ed post.. i was a huge floyd fan even in 99 he was a whole different fighter, he would engage while you cant hit him and give a dominant show. Around the hoya fight is where he stopped engaging. Floyd beat corralles and costillo in their primes despite the first costillo fight i had it a draw (watched it like 7 times always the same result). Even then he embarrassed costillo in the rematch thats what blew him up to the p4p list, what held him back was his legal troubles including his domestic violence.

                  That was a good showcase for Floyd.

                  Fighting in his 3rd or 4th weightclass? Against a guy with a 90% ko ratio?

                  Also retired him with that beating..

                  Found that pretty impressive actually.
