How good is Floyd's resume?

[Eaner0919]

Its a decent cv up to WW and at WW it is poor

As for chico and castillo being better than mosley.... i cant see how that possibly could be true. Mosley is a first ballot hofer most likley, chico and castillo may or may not even get in

you really think either one of them might not get in?

based on?

Beyond the silly poll,

I'd say it's just average, and he needs for me about 5 elite fighters before I can put him anywhere on a ATG list.

To me his best win was the Oscar win. That was the tail end of Oscar's career of course, but it was competitive and the last time we would ever see Oscar give it his all. I like the win for him because 1). He moved up and as stated Oscar was still relatively in a healthy place and if someone else would have been there instead of Floyd, Oscar would have won.

So with that being said, he didn't fight the best Oscar ever and that somewhat lowers it. And I really don't tout alot of the other guys did. Floyd though gets my respect for jumping classes, its a very tough thing to do.

Case in point, last saturday I was training and they had me spare with a SMW. I'm at 148, and can get to JWW and probably LW if I trained hard enough, needless to say; the dude's power was just too much to handle. He didn't drop me, but he came close. My good feet is what kept me alive.

So Floyd gets my respect in that regard, but now that he's settled, it's time to clean house with all the marquee names available. Till then, he will be just a HoF who could jump classes, but not an ATGreat, he can be an ATGood. I hope he does it

If you think his win over Oscar was his best then you haven't watched much Floyd.

Man my poll is the ****! Anywayz thank you for elaborating on Floyd's resume. I agree that Floyd does deserve respect and has skills, but he does need to fight a few more good opponents.

130-135.........stellar

140 upwards........mediocre

I would take Oscar to dismantle even at that stage of his career any of Floyd's previous opponents

[Dynamite Kid]

Very average for a guy who thinks he belongs in the same sentence as SRR/SRL etc etc.

130-135.........stellar

140 upwards........mediocre

The dude has skills at both weights....just needs a few more stellar wins.

It could be better.

His problem was impatience. He wanted Oscar to badly so he moved up fast.

I don't see anyone beating Floyd from 130-140 with who he could have fought if he stayed down.

At 147 however, he needs to do a lot more.


This will help his resume:

JMM....Legacy
Pac....Legacy
Cotto...WW legacy
Shane....WW legacy

He needs to beat them all and if he can get KO's over JMM and Pac, all the better.

So I see that some of you agree that Pac, Mosley and ATG boxers are better than Floyd. I thought so too!!! Gotcha!!!!
