Floyd beat many better than Manny. Canelo, Hatton (Floyd finished him) Marquez, Maidana (prime version) Corrales (was never the same again) Cotto (the best version of Cotto the world has ever seen) Judah (when he was awesome) Mcgregor (when he was P4P King in UFC, took his soul) Nash out.Comment

He's always sounded like a slurring moron. Like a black brandon riosComment

He used to sound like a slurring cat when he was was on that syrup. Now it sounds like a perma slur. It could also be the new teeth. Also if they put a flipper, partial or any kind of temp dentures in that could cause it.Comment

Lmao more like the most sedated version of Cotto. Corrales himself ruined by Floyd? Wasn't he in there with the greats and made great fights with that Brazilian kid, and the great Jose Luis Castillo, they were ****ors. Btw Hatton got starched by PAC. What do you mean when he was awesome Judah? Dudes been known for having lapses in his mental stamina. McGregor, that was a nice win - despite the sideshow that it was I agree with that. What's more impressive is that Floyd beat 22 champions active or ex I believe, so I give him props too as a boxing fan. Buy what's harder is to be a champ in 8 weight classes.Comment

8 weight classes is impressive, but the pounds difference between the lower rates is low, and often, they have weaker champions. As Hatton said himself, once he lost, he wasn't the same guy. He fought Pac like a drunk in a nightclub. No longer a great, calculated pressure fighter. Once Floyd showed Hatton that he wasn't the best, Hatton went back home, drank 1000 pints, and decided that he would just cash out against Pac. Nash out.Comment

Sure, Floyd had dibs on Hatton first, but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese. Just kidding man, I'm not knocking Floyd, the early bird gets the worm, he did what he had to do. Hypothetically what if Floyd and Manny never mixed it up, and somehow in Manny's illustrious career he managed to fight and beat Canelo, would that propel him into first place? That would mean el Canelo is the tie that binds, beating him would be the straw that broke the camels back. Putting Manny ahead pound for pound. Yes or no?Comment

That would have been an interesting fight back then, Manny vs Canelo, I'm not sure how it would have gone, as I think Canelo could have imposed his physical; strength more on Manny than Floyd, though maybe Manny would have been too much for him at the time.
I thought Mayweather's performance vs Canelo was sensational, but Canelo is a much better boxer now than he was then, like, he had all the potential then, but it wasn't fulfilled, he wasn't seasoned.
I'll be honest and say that Mayweather and Pac, should have fought many years earlier when they were both absolute prime. They were both still great, and I'll say equally slightly past their best, but it would have been better prime vs prime.
If they never fought, I would have held it against both of them, but in theory, if that happened and Pac beat Canelo, then I'd say you could argue either way on them, as Mayweather would still be unbeaten, and still has a great resume despite what knockers say. SRR only beat a few top guys and people cream over his resume.
I wanted Pac vs Canelo in 2014, but shortly after that, it was clear Canelo was going to go up in weights. Nash outComment
