What's with the notion that we should root for Floyd just because he's a boxer?

[Chollo Vista]

What other welterweight would have gone undefeated against De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto, Guerrero, Canelo, Maidana (twice) and Pacquiao in the 8 year span that he did?

Cotto, beat Mosley
Sturm/Hopkins beat DLH
Clottey, Pac, Marg beat cotto
Bradley beat Marquez
Maidana beat Ortiz
Luis Collazo beat Hatton
Several people beat Guerrero
Khan/Alexander beat Maidana

More importantly, who did Mosley, DLH, Ortiz, and Guerrero beat who was worth a damn after they fought Floyd? That should tell you quite a bit.

Floyd's best wins are probably Pac and Canelo. Had you stopped there there wouldn't have been a problem with this post.

I posted every fight he had, in order, during that 8 year span.

Please tell me which other welterweight active during those 8 years would have gone undefeated through that gauntlet?

I shouldn't have to ask a second time. If the answer is nobody, you shouldn't object to a post you agree with.

Gauntlet??? Are you kidding me.

What were the odds vs Guerrero, Ortiz, Marquez?

And obviously you're talking hypothetical because no other fighter fought the list of fighters you mentioned.

But to answer your question, maybe Marquez or Khan at 147 or a c/w of 144... Prove to me they couldn't?

Steve Forbes kicked DLH ass right after Floyd. DLH was done. Mosley never even won another substantial fight.

Put him with gregor in a octagon he will choke joshua to death.

Any boxer when you put it in octagon will not survived a round. Same thing would happen to a mma fighter when put infront of a boxer.

I'm not going in on the whole boxing vs mma fanboy shit.

It's ******ed, and a apples vs oranges comparison.

You can like and respect both.

And most think Maidana won the 1st fight... Did Floyd go through that list undefeated? Yes.

Did he do it without a highly disputed controversial fight? No

Could Khan had beaten that same list of fighters at 147, 152 or a 144 cw? I dont know. Prove to me he couldn't since you wanna ask silly hypothetical questions

8 years and some change ago, Khan was getting sparked the fuck out by Bredis Prescott.

I agree, and if you notice when you type in youtube these MMA fans channels none of them are racist or bring up racism, its sad when I type in Pacuqao on youtube all the videos are these race bias black floyd fans laughing and hating on him

Maybe the Floyd fans, sure, obviously the majority of Floyd fans don't have any love (to say the least) for Pacquiao, but I saw a bunch of black dudes on Youtube after the Horn fight who were outraged that he lost that decision. Not to mention all the black pro athletes who all tweeted out how he got robbed that night.

Khan also beat Maidana. Even dropped him.

Cotto was getting beat with plaster and to a pulp. Even got beat by Clottey.

DLH was losing to Felix Sturm and getting stopped by Hopkins.

Pac was getting slept by Marquez.

Ortiz was quitting

Guerrero was in wars with Katsidis

Mosley was losing to Cotto

DLH was getting black eyes from Steve Forbes

Ortiz was getting the schit knocked out him by Peterson and Berto

What's your point?

Anyway as for the thread topic, I was telling a dude I know how I'm rooting for Floyd because I'm rooting for the sport of boxing, and the dude f**king flipped, lmao. He essentially said that I was willing to "sell my soul to the devil" just for the sport of boxing if I was going to side with Floyd

Like dude was legit mad that I would do that. He was appalled. I tried to tell his ass that it wasn't so much that I was rooting for Floyd...it was more so that I'm rooting for the sport of boxing not to be killed. He didn't get it at all. He was completely befuddled as to what I was talking about.
