Look at ODH opponents, Sugar Rays Opponents, Thomas Hearns and anyone else you chose. Especially Rocky Marciano, and then honestly tell me they fought tougher fights "everytime" they fought. This is ridiculous. The man is damn near forty and he's cherry picking, LOL. He beat Cotto and Canelo and now thats the fight of the year? Tell you his secret. He utilizes the formula from Holmes vs Cooney to make damn near a billion dollars in his career. It sells, whether we will be honest about it or not. I've never seen all the media and former boxers all try and derail a fight so bad in my life. I could name a hundred fights that deserved that treatment but didn't get it. Why?? Espn goes out of their way to bring up domestic violence and anything negative everytime, especially right before his fights. How many times do you hear about the starting NFL QB who trolled college bars and paid off three rape victims (Ben R. Steelers). What about Paytons case at Tennessee? Know why you don't know about that, because they like him. Report the facts and give credit where credit is due. Let the judical system handle judicial matters and just watch the event, like you do with anyone else. The former VP shot a guy, and that was reported and it blew over. Everytime Chaney is mentioned that doesn't come up to shade your opinion does it? Why, if that is the standard?
i don't understand the people making excuses for floyd like the guy lost a fight, he actually has never lost. why the need to start threads like this?
His whole career he lost in a way. He is totally uninspiring and unexciting. He never made the crowd go wild, not once. Maybe once when he got hit by Mosely that's it. No risk=no reward in that sense.

26-0 in title fights
23 Former or Current World Champions Beaten(The most by any fighter in history)
4 Lineal titles
10 fighters he beat WERE ON THE POUND FOR POUND LIST WHEN HE BEAT THEM
Multiple Hof's and a couple ATG's as well.
All while being undefeated for 19 years.
Yeah....you could.
You really think he is the best ever with that resume name me all those great world champs especially those lineal champs he beat I'm certain Carlos Baldimor is an atg
I wonder how long you have followed boxing ..to actually believe such nonsense
And of all those guys who were on the p4p list how many of them did Floyd fight at their best weight ?
I cant stand Floyd. Pretty much hate him. Always want to see him lose.
But i cant criticise what he has achieved and his sheer brilliance in the ring. His record is amazing.
Its best to not argue with all the obvious haters. I disagree with him being TBE, but i also never get into that debate as its all just nonsense.
Credit where its due. Floyd is a damn genius.
At the very least he has been incredibly smart in terms of business and not taking punishment.
The Peds are what kept him at 39 looking like he is 26
He has been flushing the banned peds with illegal iv's and
And been pointing fingers and had a fake crusade to clean up boxing and all sports but was user himself. The iv's prove this
Mayweather called himself The Best Ever ..Can you honestly say he is with is resume ?
