How good would you say Floyd's resume is? IMO, even with the so-called "cherry-picking" he did, he still has one of the best resumes of any fighter in the last 20 years. He holds wins over Corrales, Hernandez, Manfredy, Marquez, Pacquiao, Hatton, Cotto, Judah, Mosley, and Canelo, just to name a few. Even if he fought them past their primes, that's still a VERY good resume.
Then Manny fought guys who were even further past their prime if we are to use your logic. He fought Oscar and Mosley AFTER Floyd had already beat them. So if they were passed their prime when Floyd faced them they were even further past it when Manny faced them. Also, Floyd was two years older than Manny and closer to retirement when he beat Manny.
Dj and Hugh are the last of the foaming at the mouth Pac bois.
Floyd's resume is one of the best of all time
Nelo is better. He fights unbeaten guys who are bigger. Floyd kind of fought guys at end of career with many losses, or with CW whilst green, or former flyweights with 70 fights under belt. Gets on my nerves when people say why Nelo not fighting Benevidez, Charlo, Beterbiev and cherry picking Bivol? Floyd would keep everyone on edge of seats on who his next opponent was with baited breath and anticipation, and then it would be so anti climatich when he named his opponent, ie guerrero, Baldomir, Ortiz, Berto, Maidana etc etc. And then youd be left scratching head, why not thurman, Spence or let bud step up even you knew he was a superstar in making and we know floyd is leaving sport soon so go out on shield.
But Floyd had a good career. Of course its good, he wanted to be unbeaten and he is.
Floyd fought larger men his entire career.

Floyd fought in two catchweights his entire career. Canelo has fought in 9
Oscar, Manny, and Mosley were past prime, way past prime, and waaay past prime.
These are the types of excuses that Floyd boys live off of.

And yet our boxing oracle djtmal has been unable to name a single ATG that he thinks Floyd should have fought, to earn his prestigious esteem.
He is the type of poster I’m referring to. Just insane.
All of his garbage is because Floyd beat Shane and Manny.
Old Mosley, drained and young Canelo, old Oscar, Pac wasn’t at his best but still somewhat prime, Victor Ortiz sucker punch, and the robbing of Castillo.
I would say it’s meh. Then it’s filled in with Berto, Ghost Guerrero, Maidana, Hatton.
MEEEHHHHH
This topic has been beaten to death among rational posters. Sadly, the very worst Manny and Canelo fans can’t let this go.
60,000+ Floyd slurping posts seems like you are the very worst Floyd poster. Just can't let Floyd's nuts go.
You cats seem to think people arent spitting truth about Floyd's cherrypicking.
How about you just let it go and admit he cherrypicked and these threads will fall by the wayside.
Oscar, Manny, and Mosley were past prime, way past prime, and waaay past prime.
These are the types of excuses that Floyd boys live off of.
Yikes!
and even after Manny being knocked out, he still waited a further 2 years, still scared shitless and still wasn't confident in beating him even then,
when he did decide to fight him, he was caught taking a Vada Banned IV, you can't make this stuff up......
Floyd couldn't have fought prime Mosley. A quick look at The Ring Annual Ratings on Boxrec shows that Mosley was already at 147 when Floyd started out at 130. Do you expect Floyd to move up 3 weight classes to fight Mosley?
I believe they could have fought at lightweight.
Actually Shane claims he called Floyd direct when both were lightweights but he claims Floyd was more interested in breaking Joe Louis consective streak. Floyd never disputed it.
Don't reply to me until you pay me what you owe me.
Talk about no shame I joined here 2008 barely 8000 posts, you joined a year later almost 50,000 posts of non stop Floyd excuse making.
How about just admitting had your boy fought these guys in their prime, these threads would get no traction, and you can put your Floyd pom poms up for once.
Anyways........

You are talking about a guy who still has threads on this forum from late 2009 saying that Floyd is scared and ducking Mosley and should fight him next as that's the best fight to make.
Then has the audacity to still post almost 15 years later that it was a cherry pick :lol1:
The poor boy has no shame.

Yes. Yes. That's exactly what he expects. I presume he also expected Floyd to have fought prime Tyson. What's that saying.... HDKSAB :D
I hadn't bothered to go through his posting history.
Lames like Iron Dan and Big Dunn, with absolutely no life and 100,000 posts combined, find mine that interesting to say the least.
Thats half the story.
Mosley was also 38, had been out the ring almost 2 years before Floyd finally decided to make a fight.
Manny 60 plus fights already been ko'd.
I don't care what they were coming off of.
They were all fully downgraded versions of the fighter they used to be by the time Floyd decided it was ok to fight them.
Now, had he just beat the best guys in their prime, you wouldn't have to make up excuse after excuse. He resume could stand on its own merit.

You're fully aware that you do.
You're also aware you shouldn't reply to me until you pay me what you owe me.
Iron Dan the 41,000 Floyd Boy excuse poster:
This sums up Floyd's career:
TBE said “Triple G is a helluva fighter,” he did allow that. Floyd said he’d come out of retirement for just one fight, that being the exhibition versus the UFCer McGregor. Were he active, he said he’d fight and easily handle GGG, but now, he wants a mega-money match, and that spells McGregor.
Damn too bad he couldn't have proved me wrong on that one.

Hahahaha. So now you're changing your tune and suggesting he should have fought GGG, even though prime Floyd is a generation behind prime GGG. Makes perfect sense ;)
You still haven't named anyone in their prime at the same time as prime Floyd that he should have fought. If you're going to spout BS, at least try and back it up, it makes for a more convincing argument ;)

Floyd's resume could of been great had he fought the best at their best during his run at 147.
For his pre-147 run or pretty boy floyd days, there just wasn't that many good fighters at that time.
So in short, Floyd's resume is good not great.
