Floyd "called out" Mosley and Oscar when he they were the hit new thing. Mosley vaulted to welterweight status while Floyd stayed away at the 130's. Fighting a drained Diego and getting his first "loss" with mighty Jose Luis Castillo.
    Golovkin has landed the best fights possible at 160. It's interesting Quillin is thinking of a move to 168. Mosley called out Floyd, Pacquiao called out Floyd, Oscar called out Floyd for a rematch, but oh wait...wouldn't a career featherweight in Marquez pushing 36 and a natural counter puncher be a impressive win. Even better, why not drag him up to Welterweight and then pull a fast one and not even make the agreed upon weight. What's even more ridiculous is Marquez actually had to chase Floyd and fight on the offensive! A old tiny lightweight who is a counter puncher is too risky for Floyd to back him up and stop him! Sad!
    see more excuses and double standards...Mosley called out Floyd when? Oscar called out Floyd when?? a rematch?? where he still wanted all the money..lets tell the entire truth now..Manny called out Floyd?? didnt he walk from the table over drug testing??? you know the same testing he later ended up demanding? How about Ward,Lara all calling out GGG??? but he rather try to fight old small Mayweather or a old retired Froch..come on lets tell the entire story here man


    and how was Corrales drained?? after the Mayweather fight he stayed at 130

      Well ggg has made it clear he wants all the belts...does he really need to personally call each guy out by name. Most people believe he genuinely wants to face all the best middle weights.

        My point is Floyd called fighters out and did not get the fights..but its his fault if they happen later..but GGG gets the pass..that is my only point..double standards

          Larry we both know Floyd would beat his ass at any weight but you have to stop bringing up this lie. He didn't fight at 130 until two years later. And in that fight he got his ass kicked. He only went back for a title shot then he never fought there again outside of those two fights.

            Ward's comments about being in no rush to fight Kovalev but wants GGG to fight him first time around at 168.

              He won the WBO at 130 after the Mayweather fight and the fact that is was years later shows he was not drained..and it was 2 years later because he went to jail and was inactive

                  Oscar was pushing for the rematch after he fought Floyd. Floyd instead went on to fight 140lb Hatton and 135lb Marquez. Floyd "retired' so the Oscar vs Pac fight lined up. Mosley was wanting Floyd when he decided to come out of retirement. The guy actually had to go through the rigormoral of going to his fight, and getting in the ring to confront Floyd face to face with cameras saying fight me. Of course Manny called out Floyd, they actually sat down to hash out the contract stipulations and Floyd wanted blood testing all the way up into the fight. Pacquiao didn't agree to that stipulation where blood would be being withdrawn that close to his performance. Floyd took that disagreement between the two camps and milked it for years to come. Subsequently giving him a official excuse to not fight Manny Pacquiao in a boxing ring. Its so ironic that Floyd after being Mr. Clean was pumping 500 ml of saline to wipe clean PED evidence. Oh wait..I forgot.. we are supposed to believe he was dehydrated when he comes in the ring at about 150.

                  Yea because Lara is such a great money fight and win for his resume right? Lara was pitiful and pathetic against a smaller, weaker, less offensive and less polished fighter in Canelo. Why in the h*ll would Lara be able to beat with Golovkin!?
                  Old Froch is a cash grab against a solid name with numbers to back it up. Ward can't sell out his own town and is still fighting at 172lb catch weights against hobo's. He'd rather fight a old smaller Mayweather because its a huge payday, huge audience and a chance to enter superstardom.

                  Corrales had major trouble making 130 for that fight. His own nutrionist and athletic trainer Ariza said it in an interview in the lead up to the fight. Coralles wanted the fight at 135 but I guess Floyd couldn't handle that. It's so unfortunate Floyd is not really that great or good!

                    He's 5'10 weighing 130 and you don't think he's drained? Lol. It doesn't matter, the result is the same, but you gotta come off this idea.

                      Young boxing fans that are too lazy to study boxing and look down on guys who fought in the Black & White TV era.

                      Calling the only guy they grew up with the best, and looking down on the rest.

                      Double standard in judging ATG fighters from the past, yet giving a pass to their current idols because they know very little.

                      There are some really awesome young fans, I am not talking about them.

                      No real fans need to reply!
