    Bivol wasn’t a stylistic nightmare. Canelo was a 5-1 favorite.

    Castillo was bigger. He was the best in the division. Floyd beat him his 1st fight there.

    Corrales was taller and had a longer reach. Floyd was the underdog.

    Odh was the cash cow and made Floyd wear specific gloves and controlled everything.

    Stop going with the fake and false narratives just because you guys
    hate that Floyd beat your favorites.

      How can you bring yourself to post he didn’t take risks when he beat all guys you said would beat him?
      Ha ha, ssm was 32 years old when I asked Ffloyd to fight him, Floyd fights everyone about 5 years later?
      Everyone tells nel o who to fight, whoever they think has be st chance to beat him. Floyd do esnt fight toughest availabke and who people thought Floyd should fight. Floyd goes off on a tangent and fights who he wants, i.e. GUerrero, berto, ortiz. People asked Floyd to fight ggg, thurman, spence, brook etc etc
      Excuse me, nobody asked Floyd to fight these.?

        Bivol was a style nightmare for Canelo he had no answers for the guy. The betting line has nothing to do with it.

        Castillo weighed more than Floyd and that was it. He wasn't undefeated or a style nightmare for Floyd he wasn't taller Floyd had the reach advantage, castillo was a short armed come forward mexican a style Floyd fought a million times.

        Corrales ok but they were in the same division Floyd didn't move up to fight the guy.

        Oscar was shopworn give it a break.

        Floyd was risk adverse his whole career from welterweight on. Digressed all the way to fighting Japanese kickboxers risk adverse.

          Again, NO RISKS. All variables must be controlled before Mayweather even thinks of fighting someone.
          Floyd Mayweather started at 130 and went up to 154 to fight Oscar De La Hoya with no controlled variables as Oscar held all the leverage.

            You’re lying. It wasn’t 5 years later.

            He beat everyone you asked him to because you felt they’d beat him. They didn’t.

            I get it- when Floyd hasn’t fought someone, label them a risk. Floyd beats him then label him shot or past it.

            You guys really are scumbags.

                He wasn’t a style nightmare. Stop that **** smoking bulls-t f@gg0ty excuse making.

                He had no answers and lost because he wasn’t good enough to win.

                Same as when he fought Floyd. Same as Manny when he fought Floyd.

                  Well he had no other choice in that matter but it didn't matter because Oscar was shopworn.

                    Less so than Kovalev and a better boxer than Bivol on merit. So, I'll give Mayweather the lean there as his first fight at 154 going against an ATG. Not some Turkish dude at 168.

                    Then he also fought an undefeated Canelo.

                    These are risks equivalent and/or greater than fighting Bivol at 175. No two ways about it.

                      I say Bivol was a style nightmare f**k you gonna do about it.

                      He's everything the thread starter said Floyd wasn't willing to fight a guy clearly out of his weight class who was undefeated champ bigger had height and reach advantage could box ppl called for Floyd to fight plenty of guys like that and Floyd avoided them. Margarito, Paul Williams, Winky Wright. Khan. Instead it was the same slow, short armed, flat footed come forwarded fighters. The best guy Floyd fought in recent history that Floyd fought that fits the description is Conor McGregor and had he not gassed Floyd would have been forced to eat some leather inside to get at him and you know that isn't in Floyd's best interest he wants easy fights.

                      Just face it Floyd was low to no risk.
