Oscar was never that great to begin with. He was just as overrated as Floyd was in his day.
laughable.
Tell me a GREAT fighter Floyd could have fought as he was coming up from lightweight?
Tszyu, Mosely, Wright. Theres alot of fighters he could have faced.
He could've been fighting decent guys like Margarito rather than the Bruseles', and Mitchells of the world. Floyds record is comedy. When he said he's got nothing left to prove I couldnt stop laughing. ;D His comp has been a joke. When Castillo, and Corrales are the best prime fighters you faced then I'd say you haven't been fighting the best out there.
As I said when he was coming up from 135 who were the great fighters he could have fought?
alright lets look at the time he had just moved up to 140 since you said "since lightweight"
Alright Shane had beat oscar for the second tiime and was giving Wright his shot. He lost twice and why would Floyd fight him after that? Then Mosley was off for a year came back at 147 and was still trying to come back into his own at 147 and admitted he wasnt ready for a big fight with anyone. And then he went back up to 154 and fought Vargas twice, tell me in what span of time could Floyd have fought him ???
Tszyu was recovering from injury and was already set to fight Sharmba Mitchell(but he injured himself) so he was recovering from that injury by the time Floyd came up from Lightweight and by that time was already signed to fight Mitchell again :) So when could Floyd have fought him?
Wright was in the midst of his Shane Mosley two fight special and was just making a name for himself still as a premiere fighter in the sport. And it wasnt until he beat Trinidad in 2005 that he really really had gotten on the world stage. After that Soliman fight he had there were small talks of maybe him fighting Mayweather. Even though Wright admitted it was getting very difficult for him to make 154 anymore. And ultimately he chose to fight Jermain Taylor and since then has fought Ike Quartey and is now looking at fighting Bernard Hopkins.
I can do this all day so why don't you throw out a few more names its been a while since I've had the chane to do this to someone :)
Oh and here's another one
You knock Floyd for fighting a prime Castillo and Corrales... but you say his record is a joke and then you call Margarito a "decent guy" ???
:lol:
