    PBF didn’t do what $ May and TBE did: school great boxers

    Genaro Hernandez and Diego Corrales were good but not great

      Remember when Floyd "schooled" Carlos Baldymir?

      He schooled him so bad that the crowd decided to leave before the fight was over.

      He exerted more energy arguing with Larry Merchant because Larry told him he stunk up the joint.

        Naah Pretty boy looked like a sharpened knife. Had a healthy balance of offense and defense. When he turned to his self proclaimed TBE he wasn't as sharp and was too defensive minded. Not really as fun to watch as when he was pretty boy.

        TBE = a stinker.

          The buildup to the fight was more exciting than the fight itself

            I always liked seeing Floyd fight, and saw him in person once. He became more cautious as he moved up. But he could get in there with a guy who has been KO’ing people and make them look bad. The guy who goes undefeated was always going to be a defensive specialist. Everyone knew Floyd throws a lead straight right, yet that’s been one of the most effective punches in the era. Nobody had the reflexes to nullify it even though they knew it was coming. Action slug fest are exciting but if they can go either way and not lead to great winning streaks it’s not going to be worth as much as a guy who seemingly can’t be beat. “Pay to see me win, pay to see me lose, pay to see my trunks”. Like him or hate him, you had to see him.

                That Carlos Baldymir debacle is absolutely cringeworthy. It's why you changing the subject to Manny right?

                Schooling somebody doesn't necessarily mean the fight itself was exciting, and Floyd/Manny, was as cringeworthy as Floyd/Baldymir, only difference was more people were watching. Floyd hugged more than he landed punches. He threw a jab, missed and grabbed. Dude was hanging on for dear life.

                    Hitting without getting hit is what Boxing is about but people want to see action. I wouldn’t say he is boring but I sure wouldnt pay to watch him. I never have.

                      I am sticking to the subject.

                      Once again a pedestalizing Floyd Boy starts a thread about Floyd not being a boring fighter, when everything points to the contrary.
                      Floyd/Baldymir, that was a stinker to small proportions, but Floyd/Manny was a stinker to epic proportions.
