Man, this thread reminded me why I don't post here anymore...Found out this fight was happening from my friend on the weekend and thought I'd come here and take a look at everyone's reaction..

LOL same old double standards flying around here I see

"Floyd is a pussy, taking on Ortiz too scared to fight Pacman..blah blah" - erm, Floyd fights a live Welterweight champ (after dismantling the lineal Welterweight champ who the same people said Floyd was SCARED of before he signed to fight him..and then the same peeps said afterwards that he was "washed up" anyway...the same people who belittle Floyd's Welterweight credentials when his welterweight fights will have included 3 welterweight champs and a lineal welterweight champ.) But apparently, the fight is still not good enough?

It's like someone said - He can't win the fans over no matter what he does.
Then somebody responded with "He can do one thing to win over the fans"..well my response to that is that he already did do the thing that most people said would "win them over and make them respect Floyd", which was fight Mosley when everyone was accusing him of being scared.

He wins in easy fashion and of course, Mosley was old.."Oh Mayweather's gay until he fights Pac now.."

I sometimes wonder whether these posters ever listen to themselves..

I even remember reading a post once where Daxx said, "Floyd is gonna get steam-rolled by Baldomir..This is too big a step" - LOL But of course Floyd boxes rings around the guy and Baldomir instantly becomes the joke of the Welterweight division.

And the guy who said "Floyd fights every 18 months, just enough time for everyone to forget the last stinker he had"...

Wow...Floyd's last 3 fights - Mosley, Marquez and Hatton..If you enjoyed those offensive boxing masterclasses less than you enjoyed Pac vs Mosley, Clottey and Margarito then you have a few screws loose.

Even when there is proof when Freddie Roach in a video said they ducked Mosley before Mayweather took the fight..people turn a blind eye. Hilarious..they wanted Mosley at 142, but Floyd's the pussy of course.

This has turned into the forum for the mentally insane...Apologies to the consistent posters, you know who you are - Miles, JT Rock, Mar etc although this double standards doesn't seem to exist around other boxers - It's just when the topic of these 2 fighters comes up, some posters make it unbearable!

This is what it is - Floyd taking on the best possible, available opponent besides Pac and Martinez. Pac is next..
