I just don't have a lot of respect for his level of opposition. We just disagree on that point.
zhubin...you can disagree with yourself all you want.

You obviously didn't read my statement before you jumped to try & tear it apart. Read below...re-read below:

Funny thing is...the above name fighters often recieve loads of praise & support...until you bring Floyd's name into the equation...then there is always something derogatory to be said about them & then it filters down to Floyd.

It's really stupid.
I said "better" not "best".

You said that...so if anyone is stretching something...that'd be you...but not recognizing who he beat or how he beat them shows a lack of respect...which you seem to have based on your comments abound.

Thing is...most people...I'm assuming like you...will say that Floyd never beat the best...even if he beats them. If Cotto were to beat & humiliate Cotto, Oscar, Margarito, or Hatton to name a few...it would end up panning out like this:

Cotto: To green & nothing but hype.
Oscar: To old & living off of his name.
Margarito: Never beat anyone worthy, hype machine.
Hatton: Protected fighter that had one good win.

Crap like that is already circulating in speculation...no matter what Floyd does...he will always face criticism from people that dislike him & nothing he can do will be enough.
