How good was Floyd?

[Comanche]

Please man Floyd only fought slow, flat footed, come forward short armed fighters that he could look good against. They may have weighed a few pounds more but that made them even slower.

None of those guys are top tier anything all time great thats why you have to make a big deal about Hagler moving up.

Hagler is an all time great fighting prime all time greats. Floyd is fighting paper champs who you can't remember two months after the fight is over its a big difference.

So thats a no on fighting guys bigger then him?

Ok cool.

Now who are those prime all time greats he fought?

Dude Hagler was not the biggest mw. 5' 8" 160 with same day weigh in isn't the biggest mw by a longshot. GGG and Hagler in person took a picture GGG makes Hagler look like a midget. Hagler fought guys taller with longer reach his whole career hell even Hearns was taller longer and probably weighed more by the opening bell. Hell Hopkins was 6' 1" and entered boxing as a lightheavyweight.

If you don't know what prime all time greats he fought you need to seriously gtfoh.

Dude just face it. This thread is about Floyd not Hagler. Hagler's legacy stands on its own merit.

Floyd was good when he was Pretty Boy he was taking on all comers but after Hatton he cherrypicked to the point where his respect factor went into the toilet. Then if that wasn't bad enough he became the main event at Ringling Bros. sideshow circus ready to buckdance for a couple of million bucks for your entertainment.

Thats why they keep making these threads because they been forgot about his opponents you worried that people have already forgotten him as well.

I am taking apart your subjective issues mate.

I have taken them apart, that is why you are changing the subject.

There will be similar people who big you up on the subject here, but plenty who will completely obliterate you.

I am done with the thread.

No mate, after years of hearing the same old nonsense from fanboys, justifying their hero as if it'll change time... It just ain't worth discussing.

You guys just can't admit or hear any fault from Floyd. He's just perfect .

He doesn't care about you! Move on.

@135 on a top ten list. really hampered by not fighting an ATG at, or close to prime. We just do not know how he would do against another great fighter from his era. the pac fight was a dud. pac was past it, and nobody really won that fight. neither guy was willing to try to win and risk losing.

Compare Ward: who outclassed his opposition. Even great fighters like Froch...
Compare Duran who fought fellow greats and has wins and imo Floyd comes up short.

But there is no denying at 135 he is on a short list. I would say top ten.

No

and its a fact Floyd has none

[Comanche]

No

and its a fact Floyd has none

So he never fought bigger opponents and never fought prime all time greats.

Sadly it doesnt sound like he challenged himself much.

[Comanche]

From all the boxers Ive seen fight myself, so not on a grainy youtube video, Floyd is the best in 3 categories.

Best defensive fighter, best counter puncher, and the best technical fighter. I hope people understand how hard it is to master your craft at that level.

Floyd is top 3 all time at 130. He holds wins over Hernandez, Corrales, Chavez, and Manfredy.

If he beat Casamayor and Freitas, he'd be the GOAT.

Floyd gets accused of ducking paul williams when he retired in 07. But Mosley, Pacquiao, and Cotto were all active and didn't fight Paul Williams.

Yet I never heard them accused of ducking Paul williams.

That proves Floyd gets hate that his contemporaries dont

No doubt
Pac has the most hypocritical fan base in all of sports.
They call May a cherry picker yet never want to discuss Pac's resume
