    Floyd doesnt have that icing on the cake
    Been there done that with Coralles, Castillo, Hatton
    Non were seen as serious threats to Floyd, for various reasons, Corrales for the weight, Castillo for not having anyting special and also not being undefeated (undefeated means nothing skill wise but he wasnt a unified rising young star like Kessler) and Hattonw as moving up a weight and most felt that hed lose anyway.

    Whereas Joe had to prove himself all over again and what I meant by people thinking he was on the slide is that the Lacy fight was probably his last good performance and that Lacy was overrated anyway, whereas Kessler had fought and beaten more world class operators and title holders and done it very well.

    Emanuel Steward was gushing over Joe during his commentating of the Kessler bout, would he ever call Floyd a "fighting machine"? Or comemnt on how he "adjusts brilliantly" or even that the two combabtants are probably both 2 of the best boxers around today??

    I cannot believe the bias crap that u write sometimes.
    Corrales not a threat? He was 33-0 a P4P ranked fighter and had beaten:
    Angel Manfredy
    Derrik Gainer
    John Brown
    Gary St. Clair
    and the weight issue? Thats no worse than the rumours Kessler had a broken hand for the Joe fight.

    Castillo no threat? A guy on his 5th defense of the WBC title is no threat? A guy that n his career beat:
    Stevie Johnson
    Diego Corrales
    Joel Casamayor
    Juan Lazcano
    Jorge Paez
    is no threat?

    Hatton no threat cos most thought he'd lose?? Could that be because Floyd is such a good fighter? Hatton no threat cos he had to move up May i remind u that Floyd started his career 10 pound lighter than Ricky and that at the time of their fight Ricky weighed the same? Hatton no threat even tho he'd recently Ko'd Castillo in 3 and had beaten an all time great in Kostya by TKO?

    Joe is better cos Steward gushed over him? Steward also said Andy Lee would beat Pavlik this year! If u wanna talk about experts look at the fact that whilst Floyd was fighting the vast majority of experts, fans and fighters had him P4P #1. Tell u anything?

    Lee is Stewards own fighter, he has to say that, whereas he has no vested interest in Joe, he was just awestruck at the talent on display in front of him.

    To be called a fighting machine by a man who has trained Hearns, Moorer, Holyfield, Oscar and every other named fighter that has tried getting Manny to rescue their career is high praise.

    When you look at Floyds career, itr is littered with names but only Two where faced while undefeated, One was draining himself to get down a weight and the other was light at the higher weight

    Both Joes undefeated opponents were rising stars, big names, highly touted and favoured to beat Joe, they were established in that weight and strong in it and both were soundly beaten while Joe was well in to his mid Thirties, Hopkins has done very well beating Pavlik but even Pavlik wasnt in his own weight, still a good result that proves what Joe did to him, even now merits a lot of praise and dont forget it would have been a fresher, harder hitting Calzaghe that Bernard would have faced 5 hyears ago, had he not chickened out of that match

    Corrales was 33-0 and P4P top 10 for fuck sake! Hatton was 43-0 and naturally heavier than Floyd!!!
    Ask anyone who knows about boxing, who are the better names on a resume? Corrales and Hatton or Lacy and Kessler?

    Lacy and Kessler have done nothing since their Joe fight. Could it be they arent that good?

    I dont think so, Lacy was absolutely battered by Joe and finnished as a top flight operator there and then, Kessler has done nothing to prove he isnt going to carry on where he left off before Joe beat him, give Kessler time and he will prove what worth that win was for Joe, just like Hopkins did

    Hatton has a liitle bit but I think hed struggle with the truly good boxers, whereas I see Kessler beating all at super middle and possibly light heavy, Dawson and Hopkins have turned down a match against Kessler

    Lacy hasnt comeback at all well because of a combination of having the stuffing kicked out of him by Calzaghe, but probably more so, because of the shoulder injury. He's effectively a one armed fighter these days.
