Daxx, you seem to be putting your posts within quotes here!
To be fair Daxx did originally say that Floyd takes on all the dangerous fights but then made arguments to the contrary. This indicates a typo and that Daxx believes Floyd to be avoiding dangerous fights as his arguments do indeed say with reference to history and past great fighters.
Preme should perhaps have analysed Daxx's arguments in a little more detail and Daxx himself should have reread his own original posting before calling Preme a fool....
A silly mix up solved and CC's to the both of you!
CC back fella,
Did try reading it, but u know how it is, pissed up and reading something with more twists than the da vinci code just makes your head spin don't it
Been there, believe me!Originally Posted by Preme
I've got to disagree with you here Daxxkahn. I've watched Floyd's entire career and he absolutely has never ducked anybody through fear. He wants the BIGGEST and BEST fights but from a PPV and FINANCIAL point of view as.Originally Posted by DaxxKahn
When he was at superfeatherweight he kept calling out Naseem Hamed who wanted nothing to do with and even before his fight with Victoriano Sosa he was saying he wanted De La Hoya, (Floyd was a lightweight then).
This prompted a discussion during the Sosa fight between Lampley and Merchant in which Merchant basically said that the fight wouldn't ever happen and that if it did Floyd would have about as much chance against De La Hoya as the current flyweight champ would have against him!
Plus if you watch his defining fights he never ducks anybody or backs down from a fight.
He beat the well respected Genera Hernadez to win his first world title in his 17th fight as a pro, completely dominating and outgunning him.
When he fought Jesus Chavez, Chavez just tore at him, throwing over 100 punches a round and just tried to batter Floyd, the result a knackered Chavez quit on his stool in the 10 th round.
He was injured when he first fought Castillo, won a controversial fight and rematched the guy beating him easily second time round.
When he fought Philip N'Dou, Ndou had a fearsome reputation as a puncher with 30 KO's in 31 fights. Floyd decided to go toe to toe with him and knocked him out.
Then when he moved up to fight Corely, in his first fight at light welter Corely said he would be too strong for Floyd. Floyd again when toe to toe with Corely trading shots, even getting caught with a monster punch in the 4th. But he never backed down, and totally dominated Corely coming back and knocking Corely down in the same round although for some reason the ref judged it a slip.
At this time Gatti and Mitchell were considered more dangerous, Emmanuel Steward saying after his fight with Brusseles that he fought Sharmba Mitchell would be a 50/50 fight because he had the speed, and skills of Floyd and more power. Yes it sounds silly now but we have the luxery of time to reflect back!
My point is that Floyd hasn't ever ducked fighters he's wanted to go after the biggest names that represent the most cash for him. Thats why he wanted Arturo Gatti, thats why he wanted Judah, big selling fights.
Now he's finally got De La Hoya after calling him out for 5 years. Oscar is a bigger challenge than anybody else that Floyd could have fought. He's going up to 154 lb and his first ever fight there is against a Hall of Famer and one of the p4p greats of the last 15 years.
I'm sure that after this fight he will want Mosely another Hall of Famer and why not? Cotto or Margarito or Hatton arn't Hall of Fame bound yet. They may get there but they've not already achieved greatness.
Mayweather has positioned himself now so that he's ready for the big defining fights. You say he hasn't fought anyone but his career isn't over yet. Hagler didn't get a big fight until he was past 30, I reckon Floyd will fight Oscar at least once, Mosely and Cotto for certain before he retires.
I actually want Floyd to win this fight. He is fighting at 154 which is perhaps as far as he can go in weight, and I want to see his skills and savvy overcome the size and power of DLH.
cc One of the best Floyd posts I've read yetOriginally Posted by bilbo
I don't know where all these "Floyd just runs from his opponents!" arguments come from.Especially in a lot of his recent fights, Floyd has been doing more and more standing and inside fighting. Anyone's who has seen his career knows he doesn't run. It makes sense for him to be a runner with his speed and defense, but he doesn't do it. He DOES go toe to toe.
If his detractors are saying he should go toe to toe ie. completely without guard, why would he do that? Just because he isn't getting hit doesn't mean he isn't standing and fighting
CC, Bilbo for a very interesting posting!
This is probably the gay response you were expecting on the secret board!!
The thing about Mayweather is that everyone is blinded by his trash talking Im the best attitude. Is he really like that or is it a marketing tool? Muhammed Ali was disliked by many for the same thing, he was a little more playful in his taunting, but that was still harsh for his era. I think "Pretty Boy" is probably just playing the part of villian because that sells tickets. You will pay big bucks to see the big mouth get shut. Anyway you cant judge a boxer on his personality, if you were as overlooked as Floyd by the fans you might get a little pissed off too.
