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

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.Comment

Nah.Yes, Benitez to Hearns in a little over 2 years. Most though don't count Benitez among the Fab 4 or 4 horseman or whatever they label, hearns, duran, haggler and SRL.
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?
Benitez was in the orginal Fab 4.Comment

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.Comment

six years ago...
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.Comment

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".Comment
