They looking for that KO moment again (its been 7 years since the Hatton KO... 7 years :why:)

So with Jessie Pac can fight aggressively and chase that KO without risking getting :deadmanny:'d.
I know it's Vargas and all, but if Pac isn't careful with that jump in jump out shyt with his hands down he could catch a mean counter. Vargas's lucky punch against Ali and Bradley is very comparable to the short punch JMM sent him to the bushes with.

I was there for vargas-ali...wasn't no lucky punch...Ali was getting hurt before he got dropped

Just curious for ya Floyd haters with this kellerman shyt. I've been a little out the loop but I'm chilling tonight.

Who has Floyd ducked or not pursued during his reign?

Let's say pac. Just to play devil's advocate. Ok, who else?

- Not diego
- Not his rematch with ol fukk boy people thought beat Him the first match
- not hatton
- went after de la Hoya
- not zab Juddah
- not canelo
- not cotto

Can't think of anyone else he ducked that should have been mandatory.. Khan? Lol
well people will say cotto and margarito back In the day

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat :gladbron:

Never thought I'd see the day breh!
I have given you dude props before when necessary. I think I even included him on the P4P list a couple times when I was still posting in there.
I can be in full hate mode and be realistic at the same time. I'm ambidextrous that way.:myman:

I recall that @Newzz did a pretty thorough rundown of fighters that Floyd avoided a while ago. I wouldn't know where to look for it though because I am not sure hat thread it was in.

got you

Not gonna say he ducked, but he did miss these black fighters that were ranked in the Top 10 of the division when Floyd fought there:

He couldve fought IBF Champion Stevie Forbes while he was at 130 instead of Carlos Hernandez.

He couldve fought Stevie Johnston at 135 instead of Sosa, & WBA Champion Vivian Harris or Junior Witter (who actually won a title eliminator to become the mandatory for the winner of Floyd/Gatti) at 140 instead of Bruseles.

He couldve fought Cory Spinks, Paul Williams, Joshua Clottey, Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander, Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, or Kell Brook at 147.

He couldve fought Vernon Forrest, Verno Phillips, James Kirkland, Austin Trout, K-9, or Demetrius Andrade at 154.


^^^Once again, every black fighter I just named were ranked amongst the RING Top 10 in the division (at one point or another) at the same time Floyd was in the division.

That list could easily be debunked when put in perspective

And i couldn't think of a bigger waste of time in doing such...

You can pull up a equally large list of B & C level fighters that practically every"elite" boxer EVER didn't face during their career. :heh:

Sugar Ray Robinson got a long ass list of black hall of famers that he didn't face during his career for a variety of reasons...but people don't use that as a knock against his legacy...but think they can bring up nikkas like Vivian Harris & Verno Phillips to try to tear down Floyd's resume :dead:
