Floyd didn't make Cotto look bad, everyone knew Cotto was well past it just look at the guys he has fought since getting obliterated by Pacquiao.

You can keep saying Cotto is past his prime till you're blue in the face. It doesn't mean you're right. He's only 31.

quote:
Mosley was a 38 year old who was coming off 16 months of inactivity and has looked like absolute crap in every fight since.

Mosley should have stopped fighting years ago. I agree with this.

Didn't Pacquiao also fight Mosley? Can you check on that for me?

quote:
De La Hoya was a part time fighter at best who had one meaningless fight in 3 years leading up to fighting Floyd. I don't blame Floyd at all for fighting Oscar its the reason Floyd became a star.

So that means you must give even less credit to Pacquiao's win over Oscar, yes? Considering it came a year later and Oscar fought Mayweather at 154, but then moved down to fight Pac.

quote:
Same goes for Judah, Baldomir, Ndou, Chop Chop Corley, and every one of Floyd's opponents since Castillo. That is the difference between Floyd's opponents and Roy's. Roy's opponents(Hill, Malinga, Johnson) had great wins/performances before and after they fought Roy.

I'm not saying they're abject scrubs, but you keep talking about Hill, Malinga, and Johnson like they're goddamn Sugar Ray Robinson, Cassius Clay, and Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Let me assure the fine people of this message board that they are far from it.

Virgil Hill was not that goddamn good and he was the best of the three you mentioned. Not only did he lose to a washed up on-his-third-comeback Tommy Hearns, he was coming off a loss when he fought Jones.

Reggie Johnson lost twice in a row to some fatass I had to look up. This guy:

And your boy Malinga was 44-13, but it's cool 'cause only 41 of those wins came against fellow South Africans.

A first ballot hall of famer I've ever seen one.

Typical Mayweather fan crap criticize an opponent and the first thing they say is 'but Pacquiao fought him too". No shite, Pacquiao just like Mayweather has fought shite opponents since moving up past lightweight. The difference is the 135s and below during Pacquiao's time were elite hall of famers(Marquez and Barrera), the guys of Floyd's time were very good but not Hall of Famers(Castillo and Corrales)

Virgil Hill was the best light heavyweight of the 90s it wasn't a very strong decade at the weight but he was that good. After being knocked out by Roy moved up in weight and won a championship at cruiserweight(via first round KO) proving he was at worse slightly past his prime.

Oh and that fatass is Jorge Fernando Castro who was the #1 middleweight in the world for a few years. He was most known for being apart of the 1994 fight of the year and for having one of the best chins of the 90s if not all time. And ironically he is right there with Hill, Malinga etc as one of Roy's great and under appreciated wins.

But you didn't even know the difference between Michael and Leon Spinks so I wouldn't expect you to know that
