Yet, he gave Triniwraps a boxing lesson. 😂😂

Kinda sad that even with cement in his hands, he couldn't phuck with Hoya, right, maricon? Stay mad.

There were so many excuses from Floyd regarding Cotto in 2008:

1. Cotto lives too far
2. Cotto not a PPV star.
3. I'll retire from boxing before it retires me.

I mean it was just ridiculous. Even Roger Mayweather knew the boxing public wanted Floyd to fight the winner of Mosley vs Cotto.

Ok, if you're not going to fight Cotto, then at least fight Williams who was the #2 WW at the end of 2007 behind Cotto. Floyd opted to retire, only to continue to fight for the next 10 years.

I remember being pissed

It was ridiculous. He didn't want Cotto, Margarito, Williams or Wright. Wright was to big, but Floyd called him out and than back tracked as usual. Has any fighter ever retired as many times as Floyd?

He did get on his bike In the last 3-4 rounds, but If I remember correctly he won the majority of the first 8-9 rounds. I would have to watch the fight again and score It. One thing Oscar can't be questioned on Is his resume. He was more than willing to step Into the ring with other great fighters In their prime.

Hell no

He shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as RJJ, SRL or the like.

Every time the going got tough he would retire. I've counted at least 3-4 retirements.

No other ATG in boxing history has retired this many times or had as many stipulations attached to fights as Floyd.

According to ODLH own logic, 'boxing lessons' are not 'action' or 'drama'.

If Floyd could've fought Cotto in 2005, he could've fought him in 2008. The only person making excuses was Floyd; I even showed you the video.

After Cotto beat Mosley, Cotto clearly said he would fight Mayweather. A few months later, Mayweather clearly said he wanted no parts of Cotto but wanted to retire. It's almost along the same lines of Mosley saying he had a toothache, but you have no problems using Mosley's quote as a reference right?



He fought Cotto 4 years after he was supposed too.

He never fought Williams.

Never fought Margarito.

He didn't get the Mosley fight in 2006, but what's stopping him from making the Mosley fight in 2008?



No, I predicted Floyd would win.

If you call someone out & they turned you down its not okay for the roles be reversed? Who said no 1st? Exactly. Peace.
