Floyd pisses me off because he thinks he's hot shit, and he really doesn't have a stellar resume of opponents. To me, Diego Corrales is the best fighter he's beat, which he should've anyway since he is naturally much bigger. Beating a "past his prime" Arturo Gatti and much overrated Zab Judah does not impress me. Nor would I have been impressed if he beat up on De La Hoya at this stage in his career had that fight happened. Not to mention the fact that he got a "gift" decision in the truest sense of the word in his first fight with Jose Luis Castillo.
Yeah Castillo whipped up on him the first fight but for sure Floyd did a Spinks and one the 2nd one. He hasn't fought anyone since. His comp makes Roy Jones Jr look stellar when people were bitch at him.
Look at who guys like Whitaker, DLH, Mosely, Trindad all fought when they were considered the best, then look at what Floyd has done? Shit look at the schedules of Manny Paq, Morales, Barrera and Juan Manual Marques the last 5 years....
I don't know, probably Gatti takes him out with a body shit. This is THE true Welterweight belt, Gatti deserves the shot, if he wins, he should retire. Baldomir though is all fucking akward and can punch, he seriously fucked Judah up over the last half of their fight.
