ppl say zab gatti n DLH were over the hill! even tho tht aint tru, B'COS gatti was just off gettin inducted into the hall of fame!!! but lets imagine thts tru:

look at this these. To name a few fighters (becos i cudnt b bothered wrinting a list), floyd has stomped on his road to gr8ness :

corrales (37-0 26KO's)
jesus chavez (42-1, 29 KO's)
hernandez (39-2-1 23 KO's)
n'dou (31-1 wid 30 KOs)
Corley (31-1-1draw wid 17KO's)
Ricky Hatton (43-0 with 32 KOs)

(ALL IN THERE ABSOLUTE PRIME AS THE RECORDS FROM THE TIME THEY FOUGHT FLOYD WUD SUGGEST)

when floyd beat their records looked like this (the facts) .... so u can say he ducked or fought no1's buh just look at the above names n try n make any excuses plz (cos there aint nuffin can b sed except floyd has consistantly fought quality)!!!! thnx for reading n adknowledge he's the gr8est p4p of the last few decades .
