Some pointless fights that Floyd had were Sharmba Mitchell who a couple of fights previous had been smashed in 2 or 3 rounds by Tszyu in the weight below.

Judah had lost his last fight and title to Baldomir..... Although Floyd did go on to beat Baldomir as well.

Floyd never used to be pay per view, people werent that interested in him. He needed the popularity of Gatti to make his first pay per view fight about 7 years after winning a world title.
