    I don't think Floyd would've ever fought Crawford at 140.
    I swear you are one of my favorite people on here...except when you talk about Floyd lol. Floyd would have GLADLY faced Crawford at 140. He had to fight 2 eliminators just to get to Gatti, was going to fight Kosta, who lost to Ricky Hatton, then was ducked by Hatton and Cotto so he moved up. At that point Floyd wanted smoke with anyone that was even deemed good.

      Kostya is a bad style matchup for terrence. On the outside, kostya is unbeatable. Crawford dosen't take the fight to the inside. Only way to beat kostya.

        Very true. KT was like a prettier version of GGG

          Why did Floyd fight Zab Judah instead of Margarito?

          Just as he never fought prime Williams, Cotto and Margarito, there would have been another reason to why he couldn't fight Crawford

          I can see "Nebraska isn't a recognizable boxing state" being the excuse

            Thanks.

            Cotto never ever ducked Floyd. Ever.

            Floyd wanted more money to fight Cotto in 2005 than Bob could give him. How does that equate to Cotto ducked Floyd?

            However, 2007/2008 is another story.

            Floyd also missed out on fights with Williams and Margarito. Instead of fighting Marg in 05/06, Floyd fought Zab Judah and Baldomir

              I think he beats Tszyu and maybe Marquez.

                  Cotto ADMITTED he never approached Arum about fighting Mayweather.

                  Baldomir threw his hat in the ring by beating Judah and becoming UNDESPUTED 147lb Champion

                  All Tony had was a lousy WBO crap-strap got from 6-heads Lewis

                    Post a source of Cotto saying this?

                    Ill post a video of Cotto saying he WOULD fight Floyd and Floyd saying he won't fight Cotto.

                    the big bad Zab Judah

                    the fact that Carlos Baldomir beat him let's you know where Zab was at in his career. Losing to Tata, the feather duster, is nothing to be proud of

                      Obviously you weren't following the sport in 2005/2006 if you think Zab was considered more of a threat than Margarito.

                      But then again you thought Julian Williams would DESTROY Charlo so yeah, makes sense
