I think it’s time for self-proclaimed greats like Floyd and Terence Crawford to finally prove their greatness inside the ring. It’s about time they faced opponents their own size. Crawford has spent most of his career fighting guys he had a clear size and reach advantage over. You can’t call yourself great when you only pick fights where you hold the physical edge. To top it off, he even hired a known PED expert before his last fight—yet still seems scared to face Boots Ennis.
Floyd is Pacquaio’s best opponent by far. Same as Pacquaio is Mayweather’s best opponent by far.
But neither are in thier “toughest opponents” due to the styles. Whereby Floyd just outboxed him easily in 1st gear so whilst a one sided fight it wasn’t “tough”.
Pacquaio had “tougher” fights with Morales, Marquez and even Cotto and Margarito despite those two being one sided fights.
Mayweather had “tougher” fights with Castillo x2, Maidana x2 and Augustus.
But they’re both obviously each others “best” opponent.rather than tough Floyd was manny’s most DIFFICULT opp
manny could not get it going in there
as if manny was sparring someone much better than himself

- - TBE TUE ran corner to corner turning his back inbetween a few popshots when Manny was only wanting to serve him sushi l'l floydy asked for...
Use your brain.
He allegedly chased the fight for years. Floyd was the #1 ranked p4p boxer in the world and the cash cow. This is the fight Manny made more money than he ever did. The fight for him was for the unified, undisputed we champ. On top of that, he’d have been the first man to beat Floyd.
But it wasn’t one of his top 5 opponents.
Yeah that makes sense.

Manny doesnt rate PBF in his top 5 opponents? Why, because he ran like a coward.

As we've all seen just here at NSB
PBF/May is mentioned 100x more than Pac
Is matched against and compared with every ATG there is.
No one cared about Pac except Pac fans (AKA Mayhaters)
Too many people have beaten Pac for it to be a special event.
People that PBF/May would humiliate.
Picture PBF getting KTFO by a couple of food vendors
Or getting robbed by a part time school teacher
:lol1:
Shane, Mariana and Corley hit Floyd more significantly. He beat them as well.
Manny hit Floyd hard once, isn’t that enough to win.
lolyes sir
Augustus Zab Oscar Miguel were also harder fights than manny
manny does not make the list of Floyd's 5 toughest matches
Marcos used his own cross to split Floyd's pullcounter 2 or 3 timez. these shots were more memorable than the best stuff manny landed
Every generation seems to get upset when a boxer calls themselves something great and then uses that successfully to market themselves, build their brand, and make millions of dollars.
The problem isn’t them. It’s the losers that are jealous of their success while the boxer the like is relegated to 2nd place.
Get over it.
All's I know is that it's up to the people to decide someone's greatness and not for themselves to bestow upon themselves. Sure, being great usually comes with of arrogance, but it doesn't mean you have to be delusional too.
Khan was and still is delusional
Broner's problem was solved yet he thinks hes a fight away from being P4P/FOB
Fury schtick was exposed by a "MW"
Mike Tyson had to eventually fight a "Real" opponent
Thing is, a boxer can have a delusional fan base

Every fighter calls themselves the best until the sport has proven otherwise.

How does one go about that :dunno: ???
This is dishonest.
How many shots did Manny actually land? Are you saying he landed enough to win these rounds? Were the judges wrong in the scoring?
So which is it- did he box and move ( running lmfao) or was Manny hitting him?
You said watch the film. The film shows Floyd clinched an avg of about 2x per round. Is that excessive?
Manny never landed the kind of shot Shane did. Or Zab. Or chop chop. Or Maidana.
You sure you weren’t looking at doctored footage?
Less than 2.
Mentioning Pacquiao might be a bit off-topic, but I’m honestly confused. Most Floyd fans keep saying he “dismantled,” “mopped,” or “outclassed” Pacquiao — yet the fight footage is all over social media showing Pacquiao landing shots no other boxer ever did. Floyd kept clinching excessively and moved around the ring like a scared man — just like his own dad said.
Floyd fans need to drop that false narrative because the fight footage tells a completely different story — one that makes Floyd look like a joke. If they really believe their own claims, they should start by getting those fight videos taken down, or else they’re just making themselves look ridiculous.

Not too Me tonight that after the fight, Floyd had a swole mouth, while Manny had no marks and only sweat coming down his face.

Exactly
yeah right
ZAB lol landed shot no other boxer ever did knocking Floyd down with a right hook in round 2
ZAB not Manny
manny couldn't even make Floyd get out of 1st gear to bust out combinations
handled like a hype job

Floyd clinched 21 times in that fight which averages to less than 2 per round.
How is that excessive?

someone is inattentive to details good thing you aren't a fighter
Floyd always rehydrated only several pounds and was outweighed the majority of the time
"little" manny was even bigger by 2 pounds the night Floyd mopped him
as for TBud yes weight bully at 135 140
147 and onwards idk
