Floyd potshots his way to a win over an injured Manny and that makes Floyd the TBE. I guess by your logic Manny must be in the top 10 of all time then since neither guy really dominated one another in the fight
Pacquaio is a legend...a great fighter but IMO he was never on the level the media tried to make him out to be...a lot of it had to do with weight jumping which is a great feat but you have to look at when and how he fought them...most of the guys he beat above 140 were not ranked welters or coming off unimpressive showings... That must be considered when looking at his atg placement

now you tell me which one is more impressive
I mean FFS... Canelo's best win was Trout, before that it was literally Josesito Lopez who fought at 140 2 fights prior to the Canelo fight lol.Last edited by Beater_of_ass; 05-20-2015, 02:53 PM.

Manny fought Margarito, Floyd ran like a b*tch, easily the biggest duck of his career. Wraps or not Margarito would have given Floyd all he could handle.

Sure.
Just like they affect Floyd's and Cotto's and Ward's and Canelo's and everybody else that engages in such skullduggery.
Thing that makes it more irritating to me is that each transgression must be judged seperately and on it's own merits, as some are more egregious than others and that makes thinking about and debating this subject a fkn pain in the ass.
It adds more subjectivity into the assessment process which is one thing boxing already has plenty of.

Did you also know Margarito had as many fights against JMW's as Canelo did when he fought Floyd? They did. So how was the Canelo win better exactly?

The media and fans loved his story, personality, and fighting style. That's all. It didn't matter who he fought. His FOTD award is more like The Most Beloved Fighter of the Decade, not really the best of the decade. He was one of the best though, but Mayweather, Marquez and Hopkins were better than him.

Hold on a sec
Are trying to claim c level wins over Ortiz, Guerrero and maidana as good wins?
Come on man they were cherry pucks to get the W
Beating champs means nothing as there are so many paper champs in the modern world
Hell no fan base would ever use those three guys as good wins
Srl calls them tune ups but I guess floyd fans need something to cling onto other than beating a part retired Oscar or a zombie Canelo or a one arm pacman
It's funny you can **** on pacs resume but guess what it's still better than floyds
Guess that makes his worse
