Floyd is great, and this why.......

This list is still garbage. Consider when he fought these guys, and who the guys were at the weight classes. No to mention, anything from 130-140 is tailor made for Floyd, and he still had trouble with JLC. You can't just put numbers to a name, and not put the fights into context. Originally Posted by hugh grant Floyd mostly beat good fighters who were at the tail end of their career to make a name for himself. But once FLoyd became a name he did as little as he could get away with, and he wont allow people to make a name off of him. People want to fight him but he puts his hand up talk to the hand cos the face aint listening. Theres a saying becoming a champ is the easy part, staying there is the hard part. Floyd tries making staying there as easy as he can get away with, by either ducking, or not fighting. If Floyd fought every six months or so, those fighters he faced, he would get more credit for it than he does. But having the luxury to fight when he wants to does make who he beats easier. Genaro Hernandez (#1 130) Angel Manfredy (#2 130) Diego Corrales (#1 130/#5 P4P) Carlos Hernandez (Top 10 130) Jesus Chavez (#4 130) Jose Luis Castillo (#1 135) DeMarcus Corley (#6 140) Arturo Gatti (#1 140) Zab Judah (#5 147) Carlos Baldomir (RING 147) Oscar De La Hoya (#3 154) Ricky Hatton (#8 P4P) Juan Manuel Marquez (#2 P4P) Shane Mosley (#1-2 147/#3 P4P) Victor Ortiz (#2 147) Miguel Cotto (#1 154) and now....Robert Guerrero (#3 147)

yeah and baldomir did something for floyd's legacy??? come on bro Not only that, I told him that Floyd avoided Mosley for several years and made excuses why not to fight him. I explained it to him, showed him half a dozen video clips because he didn't believe ..... after I showed him the proof, he did like Floyd and ducked me by putting me on ignore! lol! CapnCrunch will probably say that he ducked me because I'm with Top Rank and he is a GB guy .... lol!

Floyd wanted Joel but then he lost to Freitas. Thanks for ducking me in the other thread by putting me on ignore list once I prove to you the truth on who was ducking who ....that is Floyd was ducking .... funny how we were discussing Floyd's ducking and then you did the same! lol! Also pretty cheap of you to first put me on ignore then still respond to get the last word knowing that I couldn't reply back! DUCKER!!! I thought people come here to discuss not to block discussions. Anyhow back to discussing boxing .....

It's funny I keep seeing on these other threads, that people believe Floyd wasn't a duck/cherry pick. I laugh hard at that. You my friend have to much time on your hand. You would think you have some personal beef with the guy

its what ive been saying .. that 6 fights in 6 years is suspect Very suspect indeed. Unless he plans on fighting Paulie Mallinagi for those 6 fights, I don't think he's going to do it. He'll fake a career ending injury, and keep all that guaranteed money.

So how do so many "out of prime" fighters end up ranked on the top of the divisions Floyd fought them in? GTFO. Weak ass division, and timing of when he fought them. 2 year vacation, nuff said.

It truly is amazing, that he fought a bunch of HOF's well past their primes. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Not a single prime, HOF worthy fighter on that list. Not even 1!!!! That's just pathetic. So how do so many "out of prime" fighters end up ranked on the top of the divisions Floyd fought them in? GTFO.

Mayweather is so great to his blind followers is that there reasoning on all his crappy cherry picks are okay because "He will not get his credit anyways" They say if he fights Martinez and wins he wont get the credit cause people will say he is weight drained, but they dont tell you is if Mayweather lose they will cry "Martinez was too big" lol O mayweather can fight Guerrero instead of canelo because "Hey it doesnt matter who he fights you guys will still discredit him" So Mayweather is so great he dont have to fight the best because of the group of people who wont give him his credit so that why its okay for him to cherry pick. O yeah did you guys hear "Mayweather KO pacquaio too cause you know he wouldent have got the credit if he fought pacquaio cause he asked for drug testing and that would have drained manny and since he beat Marquez so easily and Marquez KO Pacquaio that proves How Mayweather would have KO him too" Mayweather is so great, he doesnt even have to fight. He KO's People without throwing a punch. Very well said, and remember this. "We not fighting to prove to the boxing fans who the best is."

C'mon guys, by now we know Floyd is a cherry picker. This shouldn't be anything new.

Its a battle between those who nitpick everything.....and those who overrate him a bit. Both are wrong and straight up ignorant. Its sad someone could be on here all day talking about someone they supposedly dislike. Sad.

Did you miss Mosley's post fight interviews in 2006???? Paul Williams, really??? When talk of him and Floyd got real, he proceeded to lose his next fight to Carlos Quintana. When Floyd and Casamayor was talked about, Mayweather was fighting Corrales and Casamayor was fighting Freitas. Casamayor lost to Freitas, who Floyd tried to fight, to no avail. Tszyu......when Floyd entered 140 in 2004 what was Tszyu doing??? He was injured and won his return fight. Than Floyd-Gatti and Hatton-Tszyu was made, Floyd wanted the winner. Hatton won, and didn't want to fight Floyd in Late 2005, so Floyd moved to 147. Floyd and Manny never wanted it at the same time. When everything was a go for March 2010, it was Manny and Co. that ducked testing and opted to fight Clottey. Don't ever forget that. Floyd-Margarito is the only legit possibility there, and supposedly Floyd priced himself out of that fight. God damn, you can always tell who's paid attention over the years and who hasn't. Actually Floyd was willing to fight Margarito for 8 mil...Problem was Arum was trying to sign Floyd to a 3 fight contract...8 mil for Margarito then he wanted 10 mil for Hatton or Cotto...then 20 mil for DLH....Arum stated Mayweather would never get that money...Floyd bought out his contract and left
