    Manny didn't fight Corrales and Manny beat the brakes off Cotto while still in prime.
    If we're splitting hairs, Manny beat Cotto at a catchweight, coming off the bludgeoning by Margarito and a tough fight vs Clottey.

      Cotto could have said no right?

Granted, I'd put that same energy into any other fighter who are mostly safety first type fighters. I do enjoy watching a boxer who can punch and is technical. Nothing wrong with that.

        I know, I know, Jr. was more aggressive when he was younger, well... he wasn't when he got popular.
        Yeah he was.

        Again the numbers show otherwise. ODH, canelo, manny, Cotto, Mosley all did their best numbers with Floyd. That isn’t a coincidence.

        Exactly. More boxers need to know how to do these things. It makes the sport better.

        My point is the numbers show more fans disagree with you saying he’s boring. He sold more seats and units, at a higher price point, than your idol, someone you would say was very exciting.

          Cotto was a CW. We will never know if Manny could beat Cotto without a CW.

            No it isn’t. It’s true. Go by your ranking system you use when evaluating GGG’s opponents.

              Marquez Canelo and Corrales are not better than Oscar Shane Cotto and Hatton.

              Hatton and Marquez were garbage at 147, but Manny poleaxed Hatton at his best division jww

              Manny can not only beat guys on Floyd's manufactured resume, he beat the best guys on his resume, and with Hatton Oscar and Cotto, beat the brakes off them
              huh. All 3 are better than Hatton.

              I listed the best names on Floyd’s resume. Manny didn’t beat Canelo. He also never beat anyone ranked as high as him when Floyd defeated him by a wide margin.

              You mean he beat Hatton moving back down in weight, likely drained, after he got KO’d by Floyd.
              You like to leave that part out.

              Funny you should list those 3. Notice how all were drained. Cotto, cw 146. ODH hadn’t been at 147 in over 8 years. Hatton coming down in weight after getting kod.

              Not hard to beat the brakes off those versions of each.

                He beat Cotto in Cottos prime that's all that matters

                  .
                  Don't matter.

                  Oscar
                  Shane
                  Cotto
                  Hatton

                  Your fellow Floyd boy stated that Manny could not beat anybody on Floyds resume, when he in fact beat the best guys

                      How many natural welterweights did Floyd beat
