morales and marquez were the only guys manny rematched because he didn't win clearly. floyd rematched castillo and maidana because he didn't win clearly. i would say morales and marquez are better competiton than castillo and maidana. floyd didn't win clearly against worse opposition so your whole point is wrong.
But I'm not bragging about fighting guys X amount of times like it means something
list floyd's top 9 fights.
we are talking resume right?
list floyd's top 9 fights.

Daguum just took hanzgrubers soul
Lol why are you bragging like that makes him special. "Pac fought them 9 times!!!1" yea cause he got his ass kicked
7-2-1
yes i'm bragging.
9 fights against 3 top10 p4p, hof, atg fighters.
list all floyd's top opponents, and you'll be adding a few more to pac's list too. :lol1:
Sven Ottke shits all over both of them.
Seriously though, Floyd still wouldn't even have one win over a prime hall of famer. I think his exceptional talent will always be recognised, but his resume sucks balls and it's too late to change that now.
or that's what happens when you're fighting morales instead of sharmba mitchell and gatti and baldomir.
9 fights with barrera, morales, marquez.
List floyd's best 9 opponents.
Lol why are you bragging like that makes him special. "Pac fought them 9 times!!!1" yea cause he got his ass kicked
And floyd would have had only 3. 5 at most. That's what happens when you can't win clearly

he was the underdog because the American public didn't know who he was
winning fights after being the underdog doesn't make the win anymore significant than if you were picked to win....a win is a win and a loss is a loss
so Ricardo Lopez isn't an ATG because he doesn't need 3-4 tries to beat someone clearly ONE TIME.....how about Joe Calzaghe.......how about Pernell Whitaker?
Being in great fights don't illustrate greatness....it shows you are determined but now how good you are because its a struggle
Guys like Mayweather, Roy Jones, Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, and Pernell Whitaker were so dominant in their prime and they made it look easy and they fought good competition.....that illustrates greatness a lot more than having entertaining fights and having to fight someone over and over...they were so good in their prime they didn't need to fight the same guy a million times.
Losing close fights to ATG and coming back to beat them decisively is much better than beating simply good but not great fighters.
Beating a good fighter on two weeks notice is impressive, beating a the #2 Pound for Pound in the world in a weight class higher is impressive, beating naturally bigger men is impressive. It makes all the difference if you beat guys you aren't suppose to it's just simply more impressive and worthy of praise compared to beating fighters who are suppose to lose.
idiot talks about not having rematches but lists ray robinson and leonard.
LOL dumbass.
jesus christ is that the new way to discredit pac?
he had too many fights with barrera, morales, marquez? :lol1:
Mario Veit is a huge name, really catapulted Joe's career.
do you think joe rematching a guy he ko'd in one round was wrong? i don't. veit was great. sometimes you just get caught.
pac has 9 fights with barrera, morales and marquez alone.
9.

uh floyd fought bum ass maidana twice dude. that illustrates greatness to you? he also fought castillo twice who's not as good as morales, barrera, or marquez so how about that greatness?

THAT IS THE STORY OF AN ATG.
not going undefeated like sven ottke and joe calzaghe.
he was the underdog because the American public didn't know who he was
winning fights after being the underdog doesn't make the win anymore significant than if you were picked to win....a win is a win and a loss is a loss

Well, not scared but Joe realizes that he is in fact Joe Calzaghe so why would anything other than a fighter coming over to him even cross his mind?
that's true i mean he went to germany to fight mario veit but wasn't able to go to germany to fight ottke because he was 1. scared of flying and 2. didn't want to fight in germany
Tua you can discount joe calzaghe based on him getting disputed decisions vs robin Reid and 43 year old Bernard Hopkins
He also didn't face a single HOF fighter 5 years within their prime in his entire career
poppyco-ck! he dominated everyone prime for prime, actually calzaghe was green when he schooled a prime eubank and he was shot when he schooled prime hopkins and jones.

he was 48-0 at one point.
