          Who should he have fought and at which stage of their careers that would make you ejaculate?

              You said his whole resume though, not just the first half

                Go on then. Name a handful of 'ATGs' in their prime at that time that he should have fought.

                  Floyd’s resume made him a 1st ballot HOFER, the best of his generation, and he’s the headliner in a HOF class with Ward and Wlad Klitschko.

                  There are no legitimate questions about his resume from rational people wanting to have an honest discussion.

                  Those that criticize it are the very worst portion of one of his opponents fanbases that predicted he’d lose but whom he defeated.

                  Instead of admitting they were wrong, they instead attack the “ freshness” or “prime” of the opposition to pretend Floyd would’ve lost had the fight been held earlier.

                  Now what we’ve seen lately is the “venue” argument where a few of the very worst posters argue that the resume isn’t great because he didn’t fight outside the USA. That is like arguing a golfer that wins 6 Masters isn’t great because it’s the same course each year.

                  This topic has been beaten to death among rational posters. Sadly, the very worst Manny and Canelo fans can’t let this go.

                      .
                      Both of those guys should have been ahead of Floyd since they probably went their whole career beating guys in their prime, but being the face of boxing does count for something.
