Great. He was a boring fighter who couldnt punch through a wet paper bag.

I wont be missing him..

Boring? What fighters do you like?

Cambell was #1 at LW; just as Hatton was #1 at 140 when Floyd fought him at 147. You love that victory though.



Tim kicked his ass:





You always mention Floyd's wins over Hatton and JMM. Neither guy was ranked in the weight class being fought at. Of course that didn't matter to you.



He was Ring #10 at JWW and #3 WBO at WW. Almost like Ortiz was #9 at JWW before beating the great Andre Berto to earn his shot with FMJ.



Fixed it for you.

.

When you praise victories over Maidana and Ortiz, but don't think much of victories over prime undefeated Alexander and Peterson; yeah that's biased hating.



I already gave you the list of names and explained. All guys were prior, current or future champions. 14.

Ok so he wasn't #1 in the division being fought in so his ranking is irrelevant. If I talk rankings, it's the divison being fought in.

Again, never mentioned Marquez or Hatton in the thread you are referring to.

Doesn't matter if he "kicked Campbells ass" he doesn't have a win over him.

Ok great Provodnikov was unranked at 147. We have established that.

Bradley clearly lost to Pacquaio and was robbed. Castillo 1 was an either way fight and even still, it's irrelevant because you said Bradley would go through Floyd's resume undefeated. We know that's not true because he was clearly beaten by Pacquaio 3 times.

I never mentioned anything about Lamont Peterson or Devon Alexander.

Ok then well by that standard every single fight Floyd had from 2007-2015 was against a "champion"

I'm a fan and respect Tim more than JMM.

Can you read or not?

What I did was present rankings, stats and champions to a guy (IronDan) that said Bradley didn't deserve to be in the HOF.

How does Floyd come into play here? When talking about FMJ, Dan is quick to present rankings, belts and champions as criteria. When talking about Bradley that same criteria no longer counts

Double standards

Again, you can't seem to grasp that when I have mentioned rankings in the past, it's referring to the division being fought in.

When have I mentioned Champions and Belts are as a criteria for Floyd?

You sound very confused. I think you need to take a breather.

All I did in the previous thread was list who Floyd beat that were ranked in the division being fought in. That's literally it. You are bringing up all sorts of things.

"You praise Marquez and Hatton but not Campbell or Provodnikov" When?

"You praise victories over Ortiz and Maidana and not Alexander and Peterson" When?

Tell you what, quote any of the above and we can move forward.

Ruslan Provodnikov :

My "war brother". After all that we've been through... it's already in the boxing history books... what can I say it was an amazing challenge to share the ring with you, it was a bitter pill to fight you and it is a big honor to call you My Friend... I always said that belts and money are not what I'm fighting for, but for what people remember... so I want you to know that I will always remember you as a champion with a lions heart. Much love and respect to you and your family. You know that you have a friend in Siberia, and whenever, what ever you need, I'll be there for you. Enjoy your retirement brother.

I am a huge JMM fan too, but don't you remember Bradley schooling him? Sure, JMM was 40, but that was a great performance. Ask Marquez to rate Bradley's worth.

Tim bradley a real warrior unlike ****chenko... Tim fought everyone..... No cherrypicking from tim... ****chenko should learn from tim on how to fight the best instead of leftovers all the time....

Can't tell if serious. Anyways am happy Tim retired. He was getting very boring to me and I always felt he was overrated. He edged out JMM and lost to Pac 3 times. I also had him losing to Provodnikov. I liked him at 140 and his best win there, Devon Alexander, wound up being souring in time as Devon demonstrated his C level abilities

Bradley was an excellent fighter and a class act, he'll continue to have success.
