Re: Man I Hope This Isn't True - "Floyd Balks at Mosley Fight"
It's a shame his heart has never matched his talent. He will never be remembered in the same breath as the Sugar Ray's of this world even if his talent is on equal par. He doesnt have the balls to truly define him as an all-time PFP great. Thinking about it, for me, at the time, Diego Corrales was probably on paper the toughest fight he accepted. Diego was in the top 3 PFP at the time. Oscar was obviously a huge fight, and props to Floyd for taking that one, but that was a personal issue that had been ongoing for years. In fact, ever since Floyd Snr went on record stating that Oscar was the best fighter he had ever trained, Floyd Jnr set his target on De La Hoya to prove his dad wrong. And it was in Oscar's twilight years.
It seems he has the balls when the mood takes him. The flipside though is the avoidance of Shane and how Floyd quite conveniently by-passed the unbeaten Cotto at 140lbs before moving on.

Some people say boxing is a matter of life or death, it's not, it's far more important than that.
