NOw he facing ODLH hows that for a challenge. If you can't see that Floyd doesn't need to faint because he is such a superior boxer... he is so fast and accurate he doesn't need to set anything up. Did Floyd sit around against Gatti? Ndou? Burton? Chavez? Hernandez?.
At 126 Willie Pep beats damn near ANYONE, up to and including your beloved Floyd Mayweather JR.

Floyd didn't sit around vs Gatti, Ndou, Burton, Chavez, and Hernandez....but that's like saying "Well Ali didn't sit back vs George Logan, Don Warner and Sonny Banks"

if Floyd is GREAT then he's supposed to beat GOOD fighters with a little more ease than everyone else....the thing I have a problem with in regards to Floyd's career is that he never challeneged himself.

"I beat Gatti" well whoopty fuckin do you're supposed to Gatti was NEVER great and one could say he barely made it into the GOOD category.

Floyd fighting Oscar is AWESOME the fight should have been made a long time ago but to call it his last fight is BULLSHIT I will NEVER consider him great if he retires after winning or losing vs De la Hoya....yes he moved up and won titles. Did he unify? Did he fight and beat great fighters?

At 28 Floyd has done less than Mike Tyson did when he was 28....much less Willie Pep!

Diego Corrales although widley considered very good right now was very GREEN when Floyd fought him.....FIVE YEARS AGO.


Jose Luis Castillo is the only challenge Floyd has had to overcome and when he did that he got a gift decision and acted like a bitch "am I bleeding? Am I bleeding?".....in the rematch he improved that's what I expected from him and I was impressed.
