Why does this cherry-picking culture blame Floyd so much?

    Should be easy for you to prove he wasn't if your narrative is right, you up for it?
    When did I say he wasn't? I said there were some fights he could have taken at specific times against certain fighters but opted for different opponents.

      No he didn't. That's bullshit. YDKSAB, facts.

      He went after Shane when he at 140 moving to 147 and Shane was coming back down to 147 in 2005, how is that matching himself carefully? This video is after the Brusels fight at 140 and Mayweather fought at 147 only10 months later.



      Additionally, Shane was on a hot ko streak knocking Mayorga and Magrarito out in the two fights before fighting Mayweather. Nobody wa saying Shane was old then. Lastly, Shane turned pro 3 years before Floyd did. Hardly an old man by comparison. Everybody was calling for Floyd to fight Shane at tht time too. That ****** rapper the fat white guy was calling for it saying Floyd would never do it, well he did and dominated.

      He went after Manny when he did and the only one to blame is Manny + Top Rank for that. I've compiled 238 sources that kill any argument anyone can have saying he stalled on Pacquiao.

      He went after Oscar when he was still with Top Rank, Arum didn't want it. It's public record.

      He fought Cleneloterol in his prime (24 years old) at 42-0 and several world titles on his waist when Floyd was shot at the age of 37 and made it look easy.

      He went after Cotto when Miguel left Top Rank. Floyd was on record saying he would never fight a Top Rank fighter because Bob owed him millions from the Judah fight. As soon as Cotto left Top Rank, Floyd got him in there on a great win streal (stopping Foreman, Mayorga, and Margarito) unlike Manny when Manny got Cotto he has just been stppped by Margarito the year before.

      So who did he match himself carefully against?

        Floyd fought a 23yr old Canelo at the age of 36. If that's not taking a risk then I don't know what is. The fact is Floyd's last five wins before Berto are better than most guys entire careers.

          None of that means he didn't carefully match himself at the right times, lots of coulda been fights we didn't get at the time where it would have been a great win.

          Him not wanting to fight top rank fighters in on him, he could have just you know.....did it?

          Are you implying a competitive win against Cotto long after Pac shut him out and stopped him is somehow better? Thats crazy

              What I can show that is contradictive to your comments, is that he had the best resume of his era, that he fought and beat the biggest names of his era, that he beat them when he was close to their level of prime.

                      Do you realize how open-ended that is, that everything you said could be aimed at any top level fighter.

                      Are you implying a drained Cotto 145lbs coming of a cheat beating, not wanting the fight with his title on the line at a CW, then thrown under the bus by Arum to take it, where he quickly left Arum and moved up in weight, beat the man that cheated him a massive mentally satisfying win, found a new trainer and won a 154 WT, this whom Floyd beat the Cotto Manny refused to fight, are you implying when Manny called Cotto out for his 154 title and Cotto said no problems but no CW, Mannys answer was NO CW- NO FIGHT! ,,,,,,, same Cotto isn't it!
