He wasnt more relevant than Cotto or Margarito or Williams at the time. Especially since those guys would all be favored to beat Hatton.
He was ranked higher P4P..the other guys weren't even ranked from what I remember. Besides you seem to forget that Floyd was retired. He only came back because Hatton, after beating Castillo, said to Larry Merchant "I think you've seen more action in those 4 rounds than Floyd's given you value for money in his entire career". Hatton brought him back. Anyway...I'm done.
Oh yeah, Floyd is always there to answer a challenge. It's because hatton called him out, he had to defend his honor! What about all the other guys that have called Floyd out? He didn't feel the need to defend his honor then?
Margarito was desperate for attention. Vivian Harris had called him out at 140lbs too...for the same reason. hatton was a legitimate star. Margarito was a footnote.
I think sly is just SO FUCKING OFF right now that it makes the regular Floyd fans seems...normal. Like i said before. Sly is acting like PBF's cum in his mouth is more important than oxygen in his lungs.
The only WW more qualified than Duran in the summer of 1980 to fight was Cuevas, who had the WBA title. Benitez- he already beat. Hearns- fought Cuevas 2 months after Leonard-Duran 1.
Like weight has anything to do with it. People bitched that Floyd didn't fight Hatton at 140 also. At either weight Hatton gets blasted. Hatton is nothing more than an expensive tune up for Floyd.
Margarito never really done much though before people began to say that Floyd was ducking him. In fact his whole career is based on the fact that Floyd didn't fight him. If Floyd did fight Margarito than he is no more than a tough slow Mexican. People can point to the fact that Castillo gave him problems with a similar style, but Castillo was light years ahead of Margarito in terms or skill and speed.
You can say you know what would have happened, but it still doesn't change the fact that Floyd didn't fight the guy.
Yeah he didn't fight him. It's not really complicated to know why the fight didn't come off if you are a hardcore fan. Every fighter in boxing wanted to fight Oscar De la Hoya. Margarito himself was desperate to fight Oscar.
It's not really hard to understand that Floyd avoided Margarito if you don't have your head burried in Floyd's nutsack. You are hardcore though, a hardcore groupie of Mayweather.
Who gives a fuck ? LOL it's only 100 dollars. For him it's it's nothing it's like me saying it's ok and walking away intead of waiting on a penny worth of change. If you're so rich burn down one of your houses THAT'S PAID FOR mother fucker.
Think he'll be burning it when he's broke in 5-6 years like the majority of his boxing brothers from the past?
Floyd is such a miserable individual, but still is incredible stupidity makes me laugh. when you see such things, it makes you realise how much American society is morally bankrupt .
Well that's his problem. If a person brags and shows off repeatedly how rich he is, and then goes broke, I laugh.
