    This is about Evander Holyfield, you know, the guy who was 41, 2-2-2 in his last 6, had 6 losses, even had to temporarily retire 7 years prior due to heart problems, yet you deem that "solid" and a "good win"?

    How do you reconcile that one?​

      Say what you will, but whnever Floyd was asked who his toughest opponent was, he always says Augustus. He didn't talk about how wild and unorthodox he was. He talked about the skill, though. So that's like saying Floyd don't know what he's talking about. It's kinda sad that as a boxing fan, when you look at Emmanuel Augustus, you are unable to see how skillful and crafy he was. You call it wild and unorthodox. Ask James Toney who one of his favorite fighters was, and the name Augustus is mentioned. And Toney is one of the best to ever do it. So Augustus is great fighter's favorite fighter

      He was super awkward and unorthodox, that's why he posed problems nobody said Floyd don't know, what Im saying is if you specifically said hey Floyd was Augustis an awkward guy or highly skilled boxer I know what his answer will be, if you wanna play on words, you can say skillset can be an awkward guy, he lost 30 something fights which is half of his career bouts, so every 2 fights he loses one, how skilled can he be.
      What always gets me with you boys its always he said she said, you never think for yourself using your own eyes, he said this word so that's engraved in stone.

        You left out the question as usual, what version of Mosley did Manny fight after Floyd beat him and a draw to Mora, the answer just blows your narrative away .

        Youre such cowardly poster that hides when any direct question is put to you.

          A lot of Augustus' looses were robberies and terrible decisions. If you ever really watched his fights, you would know this already. A loss means nothing. Sugar Ray Robinson had 19 career losses, yet most ppl think of him as the best ever pound for pound. Many, many great fighers had 20 or 30 losses. Check your history, son

            lol, check your eyes and stay away from word games, 50% losing record is a 50% losing record, youre trying to put lipstick on a pig, you can be awkward and totally opposite to the normally taught boxing technique and be skilled in your awkwardness, its words, the thing is you tried to use Augustus as a best win fight in this thread, I dont think it was in the top 10 of Floyd wins , the guy was just awkward and not what boxers are trained to fight and Floyd was early in his career.

            If your not 90 you have no chance of me being a son lol.

              Why did you leave out the sentence that followed what I wrote?

              So if those losses made Mosley a weak opponent, then the same exact logic should be applied to Marquez who was beat up by Floyd. He was washed up because of that loss, yet he destroyed PAC three years later​”

              Marquez was also shopworn and yet he destroyed Pacqiao three years later”. That is your logic.

              Answer these questions with a simple YES or NO?

              Was Oscar shopworn when he lost to PAC?
              Was Cotto shopworn when he lost to PAC?
              Was Mosley shopworn when he lost to PaC?
              Was Margarito shopworn when he lost to PAC?
              Was Broner shopworn when he lost to PAC?
              Was Mathysse shopworn when he lost to PAC?
              Was Clottey shopworn when he lost to PAC?
              Was Brandon Rios shopworn when he lost to PAC?
              Was Jesse Vargas shopworn when he lost to PAC?

                Who did Floyd even beat at 140 worth talking about Corley? Ndou?

                Whole 140 run was trash
                ———-
                Who did PAC beat at 140 that is worth talking about?
                Hatton had been KO’d by Floyd.

                  I never said Gatti was a cherry-pick. You did.

                  You are very evasive and keep deflecting whenever you get asked simple facts and it’s just tiresome to engage you in an actual conversation.

                  You hate Floyd and no amount of facts will change your opinion.
                  And I’ll leave it at that.

                    What difference does it make. Mosley was 38 with 5 losses by the time Floyd made up his mind that he was a 30% risk. He was a guy with a name that Floyd can get an easy check with.

                    He wasn't in his prime, and Floyd isn't getting much credit for going the distance with him. He couldn't even get a knockdown on him. It was a money grab fight for both guys.

                      .
                      Bruh you asked a question who did Floyd cherrypick. I said start with Gatti, and you proceeded to try to prove that a totally shopworn Arturo Gatti, who had been in war after war, ko'd 2x, trilogy with Ward, had slurred speech during the buildup, was not a cherrypick for a prime Mayweather.

                      What did you say to justify your bs claim, he was a reigning champ. Lol
