    I love how Floyd waited for them to get old as he progressively got younger.

      floyd fought all of these guys, and gets credit for that, but none were at their best by any stretch.

      he waited for them to get old. manny was the best fighter of the three, and floyd waited for him to be seriously faded.
      Respect you as a poster, but at what point do we stop talking about how Floyd waited to fight guys like ODH, Shane and Manny? they all at one point or another refused to fight Floyd.

      With respect to Manny, you can argue that Floyd could've given in on some points once Manny walked away, to make the fight happen sooner. But ODH and SHane outright refused to fight him. Cotto wanted to wait as well.

        At this point its just trolling and nitpicking by posters who really invested a lot in Manny beating Floyd. It didn't happen so its back to trying to chip away at Floyd's wins.

        Is what it is.

        Now imagine if prime ODH, Manny, and Shane had the guts to face prime Floyd like benitez, duran and Hearns had to face prime SRl?
        Nah.

        Benitez was in the orginal Fab 4.

          Every last one of them were belt holders and/or P4P ranked though so they couldn't be too faded.

          Mosley - #1 WW, WBA, #3 P4P
          Cotto - #1 JMW, WBA
          Pacquaio - #1 WW, WBO, #2 P4P
          Ortiz - #2 WW, WBC

          And Floyd was past his prime also for basically all of those fights too.

          And, it's not like he made the list in 2006. He can't fight them all at the same time.

            before manny had been knocked unconscious
            before cotto had taken a beating against manny, lost to austin freaking trout. he had laready taken the margarito beating
            before shane had started to really show his age and had a layoff post margarito. we also didn't know that margs had been loading wraps until the shane fight, and how good mosley looked was in part a mirage.

              He lost to Trout after Floyd. And the Pacquaio-Cotto fight was signed when this article was written, one of them had to lose.

              The Mosley fight was signed about 6 months after this article was written.

              His next 3 fights after this article were Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto.

              All on the "list".
