    It's a little sad but one has to, on some level, admire the tireless efforts of a true believer.

      Its better to stand up for what you believe than to behave like an insect that sneaks out to take a dump and scurries back under a rock.

        The most obvious being Williams and Margarito, and you can throw Khan in there as well
        Khan had a shorter reach and they were basically the same height. Floyd fought a 5’11 Corrales, 5’11 Oscar De La Hoya, in fact the only time he fought someone who was noticeably shorter was Pacquiao, who he schooled easily

                Oscar and Corrales was before he was cherrypicking his own fights obviously

                He managed to avoid Khan. You could tell he did not fancy the matchup. The excuse was his pops didn't like Khan and didn't want him to get a payday (cough).

                What was the excuse for Margarito and Williams?

                  I say its a little bit of both. Floyd cherrypicked a steady stream of short, short armed, flat footed, come forward fighters who in hindsight are of no consequence. Went as far as to welch a lightweight on the scales despite having height and reach on the guy.

                  All the while calling it ppv worthy fights when most of them should have been on free TV, thats where the fraudulence comes in.

                    Fluid fought physical gifted fighters only twice.

                    Pac was gifted but had funny reach disadvantage. He still outlanded Fluid. You can see it in analysis videos which count landed punches objectively.

                    Judah was gifted too. He outboxed Fluid straight the first three rounds, knocked him down and gave facial damage to him. Fluid also should have got disqualified because his ****** uncle entered the ring before the fight ended. What a robbery.

                    Fluid never fought a fighter who has longer reach than him. Even Judah's reach was equal to him.

                      I mean at the time Khan was coming off several losses, no good wins, no belt at 147, etc. Khan did beat Maidana, but Maidana at that time was better than Khan. He was a world champion who upset Broner.

                      Paul Williams? Fair enough. But let's be consistent. Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao, also wanted no parts of him. Let's not just say Floyd.

                      Beating Carlos Baldomir for lineal > beating Margarito
