Ronda vs Floyd - Who Wins?

:lol:

Boxing now is just a pick and choose and name building. Gone are the days when the best fight the best. It's bad for business. Get a guy to build a name for himself via gimmie fights, proclaim him the top dog, have them fight each other. It's a joke

Agreed but Floyd was around back in the day and was fighting the best. He's adapted to the new environment.
 
^^^

He also earned the right to do call his own shots.
Without a doubt he has. He's got nothing to gain career wise. You want him, wait in line, I get that. The problem is it's become the heat vs the bobcats for him for years and years :lol:

(Bron heat of course)
 
Actually Cotto flat out said he want ready for Floyd around the time Floyd beat Baldomir. He fought Carlos Quintana instead. Wasn't until a year later that Miguel fought Zab after Floyd beat him up. Plus Cotto was a Bob Arum fighter, so there's no way the fight would've happened anyway.

Not sure why you brought up Margarito. Floyd didn't fight him before or after Manny. So I don't see how that factors into the discussion. He's a bum, a fraud, a cheater and shouldn't even be mentioned when talking about top level fighters.
Cotto never said any such thing. Floyd was looking to get a fight against a washed up De La Hoya after the Baldomir fight and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention Cotto was in training camp for the Quintana fight. After Floyd beat De La Hoya he had the perfect excuse to continue to avoid Cotto.

I brought up Antonio because at that time both he and Miguel were the biggest threats to Floyd. It's easy to discredit Margarito now because of what he had been accused of doing, but at the time Floyd was ducking both of those fighters.
Exactly. Never understood the talk of him ducking opponents. And don't even bring up manny that's a cake walk for Floyd. When he mops him the excuse will be "oh he waited til he was past his prime" aka not on peds anymore
You don't understand the talk of him ducking opponents? You just verified you don't know anything about boxing and are most likely a casual fan who just likes Floyd.

It's sad that this is what the sport has become.

Again you have no idea what you're talking about.
Besides Manny, who should he be fighting that he hasn't?
See above. He dodged Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao when they were in their prime. He fought Cotto 5 years too late and only because he knew it was a guaranteed win.
 
Saying cotto was washed up when he fought Floyd and I don't know what I'm talking about? :lol: that's all u can say? Back it up with facts. Who hasn't he fought? Bum *** margarito? That's all u got? Then u wanna say de la Hoya was washed up too and that floyd wasn't fighting top talent back in the day??? U don't know **** about boxing :lol:

If that's not implying that he's washed up then idk what is. 5 yrs prior is of no significance. At no point in his career did Miguel cotto have a real shot at beating pbf and same goes for margacheato.
 
Never said they are elite. Neither did I imply that they are. But, In today's boxing? They are considered two of the better fighters. But the unfair criticism that undefeated fighters get is that there are not enough elite or no other elite fighters. Well, until that undefeated fighter loses. Then they're considered somewhat overrated. Ex.. Roy Jones. Which is why he moved up to heavyweight, then back down. Which obviously ruined his career.
You didn't imply? We are taking about Floyd dodging elite fighters on their prime not regular Joe blows and then u came out and said these two clowns that in any other era they wouldn't be nothing IMHO is implied.
 
Think he's implying that floyd could have fought cotto when he switched to light middleweight...before or after he beat yuri foreman , instead of waiting and choosing to fight Shane Mosley

If you had any type of reading and comprehension skills you would have realized that I was addressing the reputation of Floyd ducking fighters. Floyd ducked the biggest threats during their primes, hence why he was labeled as such. The reputation is well deserving and it definitely rustles his groupies feathers because most of them weren't even paying attention to him in 2006. This is why I hate being lumped into the likes of being a Floyd fan with people such as yourself who don't anything about the sport and only talk reckless with absolutely no knowledge. Your last sentence isn't even worth a response, you're embarrassing yourself.

Look who's talking about implying buahahahhahabaha what a joke. Cotto is washed up but being that he was a true elite fighter with power in both punches he still getting in with these sorry exucaes for boxers we have now ....

Never in a million years would I have though the K brothers would dominate the heavyweight division but they are .. Smh boxing is **** and if it wasn't for TMT and his antics boxing would be dead in the main screen ....
 
The truth is Floyd has no options available that would make formidable opponents other than manny and I believe that fight is not as tough as ppl think it would be for him. Porter and Thurman missed the boat. Neither have proved enough to his attention so what's left?

Wait, what? Which "elite" fighters are you referring to? Don't say Delahoya or Mosley...it's already known that they dodged him while they were "elite" because he didn't have the name. Also, Canelo and Maidana are all of a sudden joe blows? Why, because Floyd beat them? I never said or implied that they were elite. But to say or imply that Maidana and Canelo would be trash in other era's is stupid as hell. We would never know how they would've faired in earlier era's. Just because you may not like today's boxers doesn't mean none of them wouldn't have been successful in a different era.

They would be trash on other eras .... With that said I cannot talk boxing with someone that think that they could be good in other eras ....

That's like saying MJ wouldn't be good in this era and James wouldn't be good in eras past ..... SMH .....

Key words: Could be... lol @ MJ and Lebron ... not even close to being a good comparison to what we're discussing... but whatever.
