I still cant believe that Floyd doesnt get more credit when he's fighting Oscar at 154 weighing just 148 in the ring to Oscar's 168. Then Pac Man is fighitng at 130 and coming in on fight night weighing 144, just 4 pounds lighter then when Floyd fought Oscar and Pac is fighting guys like MAB?
I just can never get over the fact that people dont make a bigger deal of stuff like that. People want to always compare Floyd to guys like SRL & Hearns when he's not even much bigger then Pac and is fighting huge guys. Have you seen Floyd on DWTS? He's like a little pip squeak. Easily the smallest man in boxing P4P. That right there makes him #1 to me and makes what he's doing even more amazing.
Again, guys compare him to people like Pac & Duran but look at there size. Sure those guys moved up in weight but thats only because they were basically cheating and killing themselves to make lower weight classes that they never shouldve started at anyway. Duran started at 135 but I was watching his fights last night at 154 and he was built like a truck even at that weight. Pac looks like a monster at 130 despite starting way lower then that. These guys were always huge but just getting down low to beat smaller guys. Floyd has never done that and the sizes are just crazy to me. Again, you guys rip Floyd for the way he fights but he's basically the same size as Pac and lets see how much Pac would run in the ring with Oscar or Baldy. The huge guys at 147 who you want him to fight dont even belong there. You guys love the way they fight but lets see how brave they would be even at MW against Pavlik. Lets see how much toe to toe Margarito, Williams, and Cintron would be doing against him. If they did then they would last 2 rounds.
Bottom line is that Floyd deserves way more credit for what he is doing with his size and its hurt his career alot because if he wouldve stayed at 135 like he was supposed to and just now had moved to 140 then you guys would easily be calling him one of the best guys you ever saw and would be talking about how exciting he is when fighting guys his own size
