[djtmal]

Who are these supposed fast rangy fighters Floyd didn't fight, besides Khan?

Khan
He backed out of a fight with Winky Wright
Paul Williams was long rangy came forward behind a jab
Margarito had a distinct height and reach advantage he was come forward but not short and short armed. Floyd backed out of that fight.
Thurman would have been able to to distance Floyd

There you go

"Safely outpointed handpicked opponents who couldn't beat him on his worst day".

You're basically criticizing Floyd for being too good.

No I am saying he cherrypicked easy fights

Williams didn't fight tall.

Thurman's not even that fast, and has a shorter reach than Floyd.

Who did Floyd cherrypick?

And, "Floyd never had a fight where he was 6 rounds behind and needed a KO to win" is a ridiculous criticism. It's basically criticizing Floyd for being too good.

Those fights were easy for Floyd, you mean. Because they werent easy for anyone else. Thats the part people tend to forget.

I once say someone say that Floyd never had a fight where he was the underdog.

Floyd basically gets criticized for being too good and dominant.

What have you seen from Thurman that makes you think he could distance Floyd? Are you sure you're not talking about a different fighter named Keith Thurman?

Thurman got his ass kicked by an over the hill Pacquiao.
