    Keith is a conman he knows damn well Floyd would have been the undisputed champ post baldamir had the sanctioning fee been paid for that fight for one of the belts....so technically Floyd retired the undisputed champ and later came back

      Or, he did such a good job at beating short, short armed, flat footed fighters, we'll just presume he will beat a thoroughbred in their prime
      Floyd beat Manny its over sad that Marcos gave him a better fight than Manny

        He avoided a prime Sugar Shane as well. A sub-prime Sugar gave him all he could handle and almost took Floyd out early in the fight but he had too many miles to close it

          U got that right, but ppl tend to forget about that. Not jittery, paw too much with the jab, telegraphing, can't pull the trigger Sugar Shane. Prime Sugar Shane was super twitchy, explosive, snappy jab, no telegraphing, and was cracking hard. That Sugar Shane was not to be fu.ked with. Floyd didn't want sh.t to do with that dude. See, if Floyd would've fought that Shane, he could have had his Hearns/Leonard moment where he was prime for prime against another top dawg of his time. He could've had a 3 fight series with him, and been beloved by all but there's a good chance he wouldn't be undefeated today. Instead, he waited Shane out, until he knew there was obvious signs of slippage.

            Manny was shopworn but we understand you pedestalize mediocrity

              Oh so now a sanctioning fee was the culprit in Floyd not going undisputed

                    Really. The guy that ducked out of the welterweight division for two years. Took more vacations and retirements than anybody. Normally when it's a fighter that is elite and prime

                      I figured out the Pinoy translation for ''Pacquiao'' - ''poorly constructed 2nd fiddle''
