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

[War Room]

The De la Hoya fight was a couple years before Cotto/Pac. He could have fought Cotto, or Margarito or Pwilly but that would have been too dangerous. Instead Floyd was doing nothing but stalling the Pac fight and came back to fight JMM at welter.

So that in addition to avoiding Kosta and Frietas years earlier are examples of his carefully timed match making and not fighting the best at their best

Margarito was a nobody who brought no bucks and fought with loaded gloves. You think nobody knew? Time revealed Margarito was all hype.

And from 2007 to late 2009 Floyd was retired, came back and fought JMM and Shane who are mega-stars compared to Cotto. You lose again, plus he wasn't doing buesiness with Bob because he owed him money, big money. How come that doesn't translate into your thick skull? Cotto got a fixed win against Shane who I thought beat him, think about that. I said it before and I'll say it again =---> I made boatloads of money on Top Ranks fight fixing.

In that video I posted Floyd called out Tszyu which was 2005 and guess what? Tszyu retired in 2005, LMAO =---> you lose again and everybody knew Frietas wanted no part of Floyd. Acelino Freitas, man you're reaching kid lmao.

Williams was the only fighter he ducked, ever.

Ducked Frietas, YDKSAB LMAO like sooooo bad.

What he did at lower weights prior to getting to Floyd cemented his legacy. Marquez, Morales, Barrera all 3 are top 15 ATG and Manny beat them prime. Plus Manny came back and beat a Prime Thurman.

I give you Floyd beating him but going from 108 and everything he did. Manny’s the man.

Yes it cements his legacy, they all have a legacy, that has nothing to do with rating him higher in GOAT rating, its boxing they fought and Manny lost, these were the top two guys of their era, Manny cannot rate higher with his loss to Floyd and its not just the loss compare resumes head to head from the beginning to the end, weights timing, what fights opponents come off etc etc, you cannot rate Manny higher than Floyd in a GOAT rating, it was also shown in fighter of the decade when Floyd and Manny were in the same ballot, Floyd won with 5 yrs and Mannys 10yrs never got him into top 4 of the vote, you're allowed your opinion but it makes no sense with Manny.

[Gary Coleman]

He beat everyone at welterweight and even moved up to 154 a few times for big fights there. Not sure what people want from him?

Paul Williams, Amir Khan and Keith Thurman are the only potential fights that could have been made that weren't. Once Floyd left Top Rank, any fight with a TR guy was out the window, which is why nobody gives Bradley **** for never fighting Floyd.

It's going to get real interesting out here if Bud ends up fighting Thurman over Boots next.

Floyd was great at 130-35. He was great enough to beat fighters at higher weight classes but in so doing he sacrificed a lot of his offensive skills. Floyd did fight a lot of guys at the right time... But there are some interesting things to be said about dominance in the ring regarding Floyd: He won virtually all his rounds, and had unmatched efficiency with punch stat numbers... and there is no sane reason to mention Margarito in the same sentence as Floyd.
