Quality of Opposition

Seriously depends on how you look at it. You can easily come up with more names for Hop in missed if you use the bias against him you used against Floyd. I mean you list Winky as missed even though he and Floyd were never in the same division. By that logic you could consider Hop started at LHW and list every decent LHW that came along, he'll it would be fair for you to list cruisers as well by same logic. So of course you could put the decent SMWs as well. I liked your post but it exemplifies that there is no escaping how we feel about fighters.

Well, u kind of have a point, but Floyd was considering a fight with Winky at one point, so that is why I included his name. I don't think Floyd ducked him, he just wasn't worth the risk. Smart move on Floyd's part, even though I think he wins that fight.

In regards to the Wright fight, everything had been agreed to, Wright had just beaten Trinidad and the fight was going to be at 154 if I remember correctly, then Floyd's team wanted more money at the last minute essentially pricing themselves out of the fight. That would count as a miss
