Thanks mate. cc for you.Originally Posted by shza
Good points Ted...but in the end...no matter what Floyd does...no matter who Floyd kicks the crap out of...it'll NEVER be good enough.
Oscar : Now everyone's saying he was past it & crappish.
Sugar Shane : Same thing if they fight & Floyd wins.
Hatton : Too protected & overhyped.
Cotto : Too green & overhyped.
Any name out there that Floyd tests & RIP's will be flawed & that's that.
Personally...I'd love to see him fight the winner of Taylor vs Spinks...but that aint gonna happen.
After that...dispatch Cotto, Hatton, & Margarito & retire...because no matter what...it'll never be good enough.
Floyd's his own worst enemy.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!

Disagree babe...it's good for discussion...seriously.Originally Posted by eagle
In the end...my top five boxers have 3 premiere names in the line up...Floyd, Hopkins, & Wright...asking me to put em in order or pick a fav outta them 3...it just don't happen.
As much as I love Floyd...there's no way in hell that I see him beating Wright...it just aint there for me. Wright's been too dominate in his class to lose to Floyd. Wright is versatile, cagey, & tricky as fwock.

Yeah i agree he pbf would likely get done by winky, what i meant was that maybe the only win that will give pbf the credibility he deserves.Originally Posted by wacko3205
If you look carefully at that link, Oscar actually _was_ leading after the first 9 rounds. Roth and Kaczmarek both have him up by 86-85.Originally Posted by shza
And if Oscar had won the last round - which, believe it or not, he did do according to 2 out of 3 judges - the fight would have ended in a draw. On the judges scorecards at least.

Yepper. Wlad would do it. LMFAOOriginally Posted by eagle
You are right, people can throw criticism at any of those fighters individually, but if Floyd beats everyone worthy of a shot at him, the collection B+ and A- level fighters makes up for the fact the he will probably never fight a real A or A+ fighters. He's the only one we have right now. Maybe Winky, but I would be shocked to see Floyd fight a guy who will be making his next fight at 170. I wouldn't really blame him for not taking that fight, unless Winky offers to come back down to 154, or maybe a catchweight.Originally Posted by wacko3205
He can't win NOW no matter who he fights, but when we look back in 10 years, it will matter and he'll get more respect down the road.
It's not who he beats, it's how he beats them. If he comes out and puts on a great fight and fights offensively, he will get a lot more credit. I don't favor fighters with PBF's style. I don't dispute their skills, but I don't like watching them. It all comes down to taste, ODH has the same thing going for him in style as his popularity. It crosses over, he boxes, and he fights. PBF on his biggest stages has catered to one style. That's what makes it not good enough. Unless their is a knockout, it can always be disputed.Originally Posted by wacko3205
To me it breaks out like an argument about musical tastes. You can't take a musician like 50Cent who has a specific style and say he's the best musician of all time. People who don't like rap will never agree with that statement no matter how many awards or best sellers he has....
Excellent points. He is somewhere between a stylist and a cutie and fans don't much care for that kind of fighter. Speaking for myself, I love to watch "cuties" like Jersey Joe or a lighter Toney or.... a Jimmy Young take away Ali's strategy in plain sight. PBF is just a technical genius. I'd prefr to see more "cute" stuff in there from him. I have come to expect that I will never see him brawl.Originally Posted by luvfightgame
