i meant in regards to Floyd knocking Ortiz the fukk out. So what if he is rich there are quite a few bums out there paid in boxing that means nothing

. Freitas still wasn't known in the states, which is where the big money is made. Freitas had nothing for Floyd money or skill wise. The most dangerous fight Floyd could have taken in that era was against Diego, in which he won impressively. I think you're forgetting Floyd was a whole different monster at 130-135.
I'm not on the GGG bandwagon, I need to see him against somebody like Chavez Jr or maybe Ward before I buy the hype.
I don't think Roy or Floyd has ducked anybody for the record. Even though they can be intertwined business and fear are two different things.
and you hear me say here all the time, no nikka is scared of another one in boxing...at least most of the time. as far as Freitas not being known in the states....you can say that...but to clarify my statement about him being rich..so you dont try to cheapen it...
if Freitas wasnt known in the states, then why did he make a ton of money and all of his biggest fights were in the U.S.? Corrales, Diaz, Grigorian, Raheem, Casamayor?
if Freitas wasnt known in the states then why was his purse for his fight with Corrales (AFTER Chico had lost to FMJ and Casa) more than what Castillo made for Lazcano and Corrales 1 combined?
if Freitas wasnt known in the states why did he make more in his fight with Casamayor (that era's Rigo) than Castillo did vs Lazcano and vs Corrales 1 combined? Remember, Freitas and Casamayor couldnt speak English....neither damn one of them. Castillo was supposed to be known because he had fought FMJ twice by that time.
the thing about Johnston was, he wasnt a huge name but he was known. NOBODY knew who Castillo was even AFTER the 2nd Johnston fight. Nobody knew who he was til he gave Floyd a tough fight.
if you say nobody cared about Freitas then you dont remember it the way I do. He was 35-0 when he got to Corrales.
all I am saying is....I want yall to tell me with a straight face that Carlos Hernandez and Jesus Chavez meant more to Floyd's legacy than an undefeated WBO champ in Freitas and undefeated WBA champ in Casa.

thats the two dudes Floyd fought in the 16 months BEFORE Casa and Freitas fought.
