I think he would never put himself in that position to have to chase someone down who is unwilling to properly engage. So why do we pressure other fighters to take these stupid fights that the other guy clearly dosnt deserve?
I’m a big Floyd fan, doesn’t change the fact he has some BS victories dude. Seriously, you call that a victory over PAC? Gtfoh, bet u can’t even remember a punch that Floyd landed. Except for that same one everybody posts landing on Manny’s shoulder, lmao. Horrible performance from Floyd, you have to engage a fighter man. Can’t just potshot and run around for 12 rds. and clinch. There’s a reason those actions gets BOO’s from the audience. Floyd had it rigged dude. No other boxer could perform so lacklusterly and continue to win. That BS he pulled with Maidana, wearing fist friendlier gloves. Gtfoh man. Never fighting out of Vegas.
Canelo was super green, so that fight doesn’t mean much.
Imagine if he fought Canelo post Canelo-Cotto? Way different fight. Imagine he fought Margarito in 06 like he was supposed to? Or Gave ODLH that rematch? Or fought prime Manny in 08-10?
Sheesh. Floyd was the ultimate career mgr.
I love Floyd I think he’s definitely top 20-25 GOAT. But no boxing pundits actually include him on their top 5-10 ATG list. Only f l 0 m 0 z do.
He has too much BS/asterisks on his whole career that just prevent him from being truly 100% appreciated.
Lol I remember they asked Eva Longoria the actress about the PAC and Floyd fight and she said, “How did Floyd win? He didn’t do anything!” Lmao so true. Manny didn’t break a sweat that whole performance. Dudes skin was fresh after the fight.
U gotta engage fighters. In the UFC those type of performances would draw BOO’s from the crowd and fan base and Dana White would have to start considering firing a fighter like that from his organization.
Dude you’re legit delusional...Floyd landed jabs and check hooks all night against Manny..was it sexy? No but it was one sided and Manny struggled to get any offense going...
Then with Maidana, multiple felt his glove and felt like it wasn’t right, and the glove Maidana used were alternate gloves he picked out anyway!!!
Canelo was a unified Champion! And was rated 2nd on most p4p list! You talking about “what if Floyd fought Canelo after the Cotto fight” dog do you realize Floyd already had his last real fight before they fought? He retired in September! That fight happened in November! Dog stop.
Then you talking about Margarito the damn cheater, he was slow as hell, hands and feet, it would’ve been Floyd Baldomir pt.2 and he schooled the guy who destroyed Margarito anyway
Oscar didn’t need to get a rematch! It wasn’t close enough, Floyd obviously won the end
And didn’t Floyd sign a contract in 2010?? and didn’t Manny not sign it cause he didn’t want random blood testing?? Oh ok...You’re Just a hater
Floyd 20-25?? dog I’m done with you, the hate is strong with you huh? lmaoooo your a troll
Your such a hater dog, it makes no sense....just think, being so delusional that you hate one of the Top ATG and the best defensive fighter ever so much you can’t enjoy his career, all the great performances, the beatings he put on some people the materclasses he gave out, sad.

Doesn’t matter, only FLOYD was allowed to actually not fight in a boxing match and still win.
He had the game in Vegas rigged, everybody knows.

- -If TUE 50-0 fought hisself, the judges would have both winning a lopsided decision...only in boxing folks!
Because its a nothing win and Floyd would school him worse than JMM, Lara is a little better Khan, neither would trouble Floyd and neither are worth anything so why fight a stinker because a hand full of fans want to be enlightened as Floyd boxes their ears off once again.
Their is always somebody crying this is the guy to beat him and then after he wins try to down play it, nothing new here.
You're an idiot.
Thought he went to 160 for some reason. But still, floyd nor his fans wanted any parts of Lara. For being such purists of the sport as most claim to love the technical aspects of the sport, this should be a dream matchup for them.
He fought Canelo at Canelo weight (155) but never went to MW as far as I can remember...
I made a thread that floyd should fight Lara. It was when Lara was still at 154. Easy fight to make. Floyd fans moaned that it wouldn’t sell many ppvs. Odd stance to take when they will tell you floyd can sell with anyone. The truth is, they know Lara from the southpaw stance had physical advantages that would cut right through floyd. Thats why you never ever hear them talk about Lara as an opponent. But hey, Robert Guererro is available.
Lara was definitely a bad style matchup for Floyd.

Floyd cherry picked and ducked well throughout his career.
Not only that but he stacked the advantages for fights, home town, stopping fighters from wearing their chosen gloves, getting his own ref in and even taking a PED masking IV

Pretty sure Lara is STILL at 154.

Floyd isn't a runner or unwilling to engage. He is just a boxer. A technician.
If the question is has he ever fought a boxer, the answer is, yes. I mean, there is nobody quite like Floyd given the versatility of his game. But technicians in their own way, sure.
Genaro Hernandez, Emanuel Augustus (even though he didn't fight floyd that way to be fair), judah as well..

Always says one of the toughest fights of his career was against Emanuel Augustus
Mayweather could adapt to ANY STYLE! Most of the GREATS could adapt at some point in the fight
Zab was indeed Faster and More Athletic and Talented than Floyd and he was a Southpaw. Didn't have the In Ring IQ or the Work Ethic though

Agreed. Even if he fought someone with the same style, he was so much more athletically gifted than everyone else that it would be ineffective
It would take a proportionally stronger and bigger man to give him actual trouble. Same style fighters would end up in a shoot out, with the faster, athletic fighter in Floyd always having the advantage
Floyd's style wouldn't be beaten by someone with a similar style, it would have been beaten by someone taller, and southpaw.
So to answer your question, Zab Judah.
Why do people name Canelo as a slick jab and grab runner that Mayweather fought. He's slick standing in one spot but nota jab and grab type fighter. He's not mobile. Floyd was light-years ahead of him as a fighter.
Floyd schooled canelo lmao
Canelo walks around like his **** dont stink and he got absolutely humiliated by his papi Mayweather. Easiest fight of mayweathers career
I also believe he took his foot of the gas pedal in the later rounds . I remember one round he backed Canelo in the corner with perfect single shots then just smiled and backed off .
Zab J I believe he won the first half off the fight with a knockdown of a beautiful 3 punch combo no call no knockdown. Glove touched canvas after last punch connected on Floyd . Floyd picked him apart 2nd half off fight
