He is the greatest fighter of this era, usually true greatness doesn’t get the respect it deserves until it’s over.
Floyd is retired now, seems happier than ever (which is great to see) yet he still gets hate from all angles. True fight fans do appreciate him but like most all time greats it can be decades before they truly get the respect they deserve.
For me, Floyd is the greatest of my era (I am early 30’s,) he is a wizard in the ring and it really annoys me when people disrespect him. He has done so much for the sport
When do you think he will get the credit he deserves?
Floyd will never get credit as he's too scared to be underdog which.means he's not trying hard enough, like floyd don't want credit.
But seriously, he already gets massive credit for his defence, but he's never faced a one punch ko artist, and relied too much on hoping judges don't score punches landed on him even though floyd felt them, and being generous to him with his tip taps
If Floyd would have just beat the best fighters in their prime, these type threads wouldn't get any traction

Imho, NO ONE below MW ''batters'' May. Especially anyone from below WW.
Not saying SRL or Hearns wouldn't have beaten him (more so SRL). Just saying that shlt would not be easy.
Also imho, SRL gets too much love for beating
Hagler (barely and in Haglers last fight. When fighters are usually at their worst).
Hearns, who lost to Hagler. That Hagler smashes SRL. That's why SRL said ''I will never fight that man (until I'm sure he's done)'' :lol1:
1-1 with Duran (who also gets too much credit.
And finally, Super Hyped Benitez. Ran up a win streak against some sorry looking opponents :lol1:
Once Benitez reached a certain level, he got exposed.
''One win vs Hearns = 100 May wins !!!!''
Ok, ''One win vs ''Green'' Nelo = 100 #3 ATG wins !!!'' if that's the formula.
PBF/May schools Duran almost as badly as Hearns did. The Hearns that demolished Duran would get schooled vs PBF. No way do those telegraphed rights land :lol1:
If ''that guy'' is universally considered #3 ATG, May must be God Level.
And yes, FCK FEELINGS
Lol, feelings were hurt.
That doesn't make sense to me, the guys Floyd fought later were better fighters than he fought as PBF, the only difference was PBF was knocking out guys which you pardoned for his brittle hands as he moved up,,,,,, so you're saying you cant clearly outbox better guys its only KOs against lessor guys that count in the big picture,,,,, nothing in you post is congruent.
PBF, with paper mache for fists, was ending MFers at an impressive clip.
Well, am supposed to believe my eyes or someone Ive never heard of ranking fighters? SRL would have beat Floyd from pillar to post, Tommy Hearns would have made him speak in cursive, Roberto Duran would ground him into sand. He is a great fighter, he is not the best of this generation nor is he even close to the greatest of all time. You can love him all you want. Im almost 50 years into this game and Ill say this, fck your feelings. It doesnt change the fact he would have been smoked by the great fighters of this game.

Floyd will get the shine he deserves. He will sit somewhere around 20-30 maybe, its hard to call. Alot of you dont remember Pretty Boy Floyd, had he been able to continue in that vain. Well he would have sat at the top with the true greats, his hands didnt want the smoke though.
Ill give him credit though, he adjusted and became the bad guy and made hundreds of millions. Floyd, for all his faults was built for milking dumb mfers for cash.
Anyone who thinks he belongs anywhere near the top ten knows nothing about boxing.

Yep manny’s run of Vargas-Horn-Lucas-Broner and losing to one of them would be beneath Floyd
manny took 4 tuneups in a row. When was the last time a modern great did that
#3 ATG.....better recognize
Floyd Don't Care about what some random people in the internet think about him!
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RHErQ5l6Jss
He is the Richest Fighter this sport has ever seen and I legit think he does take more Pride is that Rather than getting Praise for his Skills in the ring. I think that is one of the reasons why he does get hate because he doesn't care and people in Main Stream Media really hated that no matter what they said about him it was no way they could tear him down or take him down because he did not have a Boss or a Main Stream Endorsement to "Keep Him In Line"
He truly did it all HIS WAY and I do respect that on top of being one the greatest fighters I've ever witness in the ring. People wasted A Decade hating this man and have ZERO to show for it while after retiring he is enjoying life and haven't gone "Broke" yet as people wished and prayed for during his career.
Arum was laughing his ass off...''Go ahead and see if you can promote yourself :lol1: ''
And he did :boxing: !
Floyd made easy work of manny
manny didn’t easy worked anyone that great
going 9-3 with a top 30 atg > beating up barrera
What these lumps fail to realize is, May would have retired undefeated if he had Pac's line up and he would get criticized for fighting so many shot fighters.
Strange how hypocritical Pac fans (RIP) are.,

Pac’s best win is Prime Barrera.
pac destroyed cotto and you’re funny saying floyd fought a better version. Lmao. Because cotto beat one legged champ at 154? Who i forgot the name already. Fought a better version because he gave floyd a run for his money? You don’t get better after 2 career ending beatings and getting older.
Okay we’re straying away from the topic. Let’s just focus on floyd’s resume without anyone else. Who’s the atg he beat at their absolute prime?
who is his floyd’s best win? Let’s start with that shall we? Let’s discuss pac later if you want but for now let’s focus on floyd as he is the topic.
and his resume is the one up for debate. You can shield one’s fault in pac’s and say something like “ well they did that too so why criticize floyd for it” lmao.
Canelo obviously but what exactly is there to shield away from? if you gonna question ones record and quality of Opponent's then you have to do it for the other since they are constantly being compared to each other on here
If I ''May''
You really can't mention May w/o mentioning Pac and vice versa. So many people brush past Pac's utterly shlt WW resume while trashing May. How is that even possible ?
Hagler was not prime, so that leaves Duran and Hearns. SRL above WW was garbage.
Pac's best win is probably Thurman, who, imho, May would have beaten as well.
Pac often fought guys AFTER May did.
''Pac killed DLH* !''
''Pac destroyed Cotto* !''
May would have killed THAT DLH and THAT Cotto too.
Again, IMHO, if May has Pac's resume, he is easily undefeated. Pac would not survive May's opponents. Not without a ton of *'s.
