Can someone explain how Floyd dominated ALL the divisions he fought in?

    There's no doubt that he fought "good fighters". The question is, where they the best in each division? For someone who claims to be the best to ever lace them up, fighting "good fighters" instead of the "best fighters availble" doesnt justify his claims.

      Personaly I think that is irrelevant. Styles make fights and no two fighters are exactly the same. ALL fighters, not just Floyd, should strive to beat as many top fighters as they can in their division.

        Floyd's the best of this decade. I've never saw no one fight as well as him in his prime. He did fight the best o the best in my book. He's the best to ever retire with an undefeated record and you suckers can't live with that (but you will have to). Floyd definitely the best of this generation. Comparable with the very best in their primes. He is no promoter hype job too unlike half the wannabe greats out there.

          Why do you think most feel Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter this decade?

                Floyd wouldn't even take that fight.


                Robinsons PPV numbers were trash.

                    every fighter has fighters they didn't fight but floyd really hurt his resume a lot with all the tuneups he took.

                    if you look at other fighters for example there were fights that should have been made that didn't but it's not as bad.

                    kostya for example doesn't have as good a resume as floyd but you can't say there was many fights that he didn't make. phillips rematch is about it.

                    even pacquiao , someone who has been in as many divisions as floyd one can't really say he missed out on a lot of opportunities to enhance his career except maybe at 122 where he could've gotten a fight with say a bones adams or paulie ayala.

                    problem with floyd's resume is he has great wins but he could've done so much more.

                    instead of gatti , beating kostya would have been better for the resume.

                    instead of zab , beating marg or cotto would have been better.

                    instead of chavez , beating casamayor would have been better.

                      sure sounds like it...

                      my problem is, how you make a thread saying you dont like how people talk **** on floyd, or put him down... 5 seconds later your in a roy thread with "holyfield EASY KO"

                      it sounds like hypocritical BS from you
