    A guy like GGG could have fought well into his late 80's if he kept fighting guys like Roll, Isheda, LeMeh, Kamil, Murata, Vanes, Brook, Wade, Monroe, Murray, Rubio (you get the drift)
    Nelo had plenty of experience to earn a fight with May

    Haters say GGG was old when he fought Nelo, so................................................ .................................................. ......................
    The Manny fans will do anything they can to lessen any victory Floyd has, especially the ones like Canelo that Manny didn’t fight.

      so nope floyd wasn’t old when he fought nelo…

      By any means floyd’s win over Nelo is not as close to being more impressive than crawford’s because
      - he took zero risks
      - it was on catweight
      - he wasn’t even that old at the time

      while crawfords:
      - he climbed almost 3 divisions (never done before from 154lbs to 168lbs)
      - he took serious risk with no catchweight no hydration clauses
      - he is already 38 years old
      How do you “almost” climb 3 divisions?

      He moved up 2 weight classes. Not “almost” 3.

        Max Kellerman, and Tarver said the same thing.. almost means he only had a "pitstop" fight with Madrimov at 154lbs... it was widely viewed that he was unproven above 147lbs with him getting laughed at for his performance against Madrimov... (that includes me) lol... so you can argue with them words or technicals... but it was an almost... if I straight up said he went up 3 divisions then I'll be wrong....

          Oh deary me?.Shane Mosley fought Floyd, nelo, and pac and said pac was toughest. Cotto fought floyd, Nel o and pac and said pac was the toughest. Floyd fought Nelo and pac. Fill in the blanks who did floyd say was the toughest?
          Anyone floyd beats you predict would be too good for pac, like hatton, dlh, Ssm but look what happens?
          Don't floyd stans like you try lessen pacs victories over thurman, bradley, that floyd didn't fight? Floyd clearly doesn't fight as many as pac does! If Pac fought spence, would floyd fight spence ( highly unlikely)too, or rather try lessen victory approach, probably the later 2nd option?

          Pac can fight Nel o if you want but what cw would be acceptable to you?

            Right so in any words he moved up two divisions.

            You can’t “almost” move up a division, you either do or don’t.

              Yes we know those jealous of Floyd with an axe to grind gave their opinions. Cool.

              Neither was tough. He beat Manny 10-2 and Canelo 12-0.

              I never predicted that so stop lying. You did. The. You cowardly deleted the post.

              You held Floyd to what you thought was a standard he couldn’t achieve. When he did you weren’t man enough to give him credit for it.

              This is why you have 0 credibility.

              I said Manny was robbed in the 1st Bradley fight. Terrible. But even a knob gobbling stan like you knows Bob set that up to get a trilogy. Besides, Bradley was a free agent and ducked Floyd to fight Manny, who was ranked beneath Floyd and brought him less money.

              Manny fought more as a youngster because he started fighting at an earlier age at a lower weight. Same as Canelo.

              Pac didn’t fight Spence. He doesn’t get credit for wanting to. Geez.

              Manny didn’t fight Canelo. He fought Margs at a cw of 151 in a bogus title 154lb fight. How much credit does that deserve?

                  You said pac fans lessen Floyd's victories, especially Nelo who pac didn't fight? Well floyd stans like you try lessen pac S victories like your life depends upon it too, especially bradley, thurman who floyd didn't fight?

                  Floyd tried lessen his own.victories, sabotaged himself with catch weights, so floyd did it all himself, didn't need pac fans to do it. Pac signed to fight spence, it was spence who pulled out. If pac signed to fight Nel o you'd give pac credit so why not for signing to fight spence?

                  To be frank, nothing you say makes sense? You can't be trusted to decide on matters like if floyd is worthy of being 2nd best of era behind pac or not. Floyd might be 4th behind bud.and nelo too. There's no guarantees in this life for floyd, things are forever changing

                      Well, the big dunn mind works in.mysterious ways. He wants pac to fight who floyd fights, but he don't require floyd to fight who pac fights? He don't require floyd beats his opponent in triologies like pac does too?
                      There's lots of things pac does that floyd dont. Where does this entitlement come from?
