Has Floyd and Manny Tricked The Boxing World?

I don't know what people see in Floyd to make them think he is unbeatable.The man is a great champion, hands down,but far from being unbeatable.I've been watching boxing for 30 years and I've never seen any fighter that was invincible.I've watched fighters stategically hand pick their opponents to convince the world that they are unbeatable.They do it with such success that the fans begin to believe it.Floyd and Manny are great fighters, but they have tricked the boxing world.People like Shane knows this.The true boxing fanatics like me knows this.The bottom line is this, if age doesn't catch up with Mosley on May 1st,he will be the first to beat Floyd.He has all the tools and the experience. More importantly, he's not intimidated by Floyd's speed.I've watched Zab and Oscar give Floyd all he could handle early in the fight.Isn't Shane better than both? Shane is dangerous from round 1 to round 12.Floyd is going to be forced to open up, jab or no jab. When he does, he will get caught by that viscious left hook of Shane's.What happens after that will determine if Floyd is this all time great fighter that his fans say he is.We already know what Shane will do if he gets dropped or hurt.He comes back like a champion.This is coming from a guy who has never been a big Mosley fan, but I know a legendary fighter when I see one.And to be honest, I don't see that in Floyd. I tried to get this poster to make this post a thread but I guess he didn't feel like it was important to school some us here :lol1:.....I agree 100% with EVERYTHING he posted but the bolded part REALLY hit me like...DAM!!....discuss :cool2:

ugh i dont get it. manny was a big underdog to oscar and the boxing experts were about split on who would win between him and cotto. thats fighting serious competion not cherry picking.

i dont see how anyone can say manny cherry picked his way to the top: ledwaba, MAB 2x, morales 3x, jmm 2x, hatton, cotto, oscar, clottey You have to hear them say who should he have fought, and realize they are just hating ...

I wouldn't say tricked the world, but they never fought people that maybe would give them the most trouble. Still, the guys they beat aren't easy. For example, a guy with speed as fast as Floyd could give him some real trouble. His type of speed is too hard to defend if you're in range.

Pacquiao and Mayweather cherry pick but who doesnt? We would get to see how the Mayweather-Mosley puzzle figures out in May. It either Mayweather is overrated or Mosley is underrated but we should find out soon.

His logic is flawed. He says Oscar and Judah gave Floyd all he could handle. They both won 4 rounds a piece. He dominated both. Then he says "is Shane not better then them". Whoa Mr. Triangle Theory. Is Floyd not better then Cotto, Oscar, Winky and Forrest? He sounds bitter that Floyd is undefeated or something. We have seen Floyd fight through shoulder injuries, hand injuries and even get hurt and come back and finish strong. The myth that Floyd is some frail 15 year old needs to stop on here..lol. Then he says Floyd tricked everyone by fighting guys that cant beat him. Then he says that Shane will beat him. So which is it? :thinking: Obviously, it was meant up until now. I figured that was obvious.

No one has been tricked, every fighter has flaws. If we look closely enough at every fighter, we can say they've tricked their fans in a way. If Mosley beats Floyd once, he's going to have to beat him again...I don't believe that Mayweather will be f&cked up by his first loss, nor do I think he'd ever quit. People pay too much attention to his trash talking. And it's unbelievable to me that so many people don't think he's strong...he's arguable the strongest welterweight. He's not weak at all.

Well thats a bold statement he made about floyd not being a legend!!! I am a very big SSM fan and i hope he beats floyd but i would never be game enough to down play the status of floyd and manny!!!

I think you could say that Floyd and Manny have cherry picked since they rose to the top, yeah. However they still had to work their way there the old fashioned way. These guys have immense CVs. Better than Mosley's dare I say. So it's not like a Ricky Hatton or someone who was almost completely a product of media hype and clever promotion. Oh and Floyd/Manny aren't the first to start picking and choosing once they were in the position to do so and won't be the last.

jaskieee

All i know is i cant wait because everyone has an opinion on this fight which makes the who are you picking title suitable. Come may 1st many of us are going to be right and many of us are going to be wrong. My opinion, PBF unanimous decision. You cant question his chin in my opinion and some say it hasnt been checked, but isnt that a good thing?
