    Self-Proclaimed Greats

    I think it’s time for self-proclaimed greats like Floyd and Terence Crawford to finally prove their greatness inside the ring. It’s about time they faced opponents their own size. Crawford has spent most of his career fighting guys he had a clear size and reach advantage over. You can’t call yourself great when you only pick fights where you hold the physical edge. To top it off, he even hired a known PED expert before his last fight—yet still seems scared to face Boots Ennis.

    someone is inattentive to details good thing you aren't a fighter

    Floyd always rehydrated only several pounds and was outweighed the majority of the time

    "little" manny was even bigger by 2 pounds the night Floyd mopped him

    as for TBud yes weight bully at 135 140

    147 and onwards idk

        Mentioning Pacquiao might be a bit off-topic, but I’m honestly confused. Most Floyd fans keep saying he “dismantled,” “mopped,” or “outclassed” Pacquiao — yet the fight footage is all over social media showing Pacquiao landing shots no other boxer ever did. Floyd kept clinching excessively and moved around the ring like a scared man — just like his own dad said.

        Floyd fans need to drop that false narrative because the fight footage tells a completely different story — one that makes Floyd look like a joke. If they really believe their own claims, they should start by getting those fight videos taken down, or else they’re just making themselves look ridiculous.

            Floyd clinched 21 times in that fight which averages to less than 2 per round.

            How is that excessive?

              Shane, Mariana and Corley hit Floyd more significantly. He beat them as well.

              Manny hit Floyd hard once, isn’t that enough to win.

              lol

                Not too Me tonight that after the fight, Floyd had a swole mouth, while Manny had no marks and only sweat coming down his face.

                  This is dishonest.

                  How many shots did Manny actually land? Are you saying he landed enough to win these rounds? Were the judges wrong in the scoring?

                  So which is it- did he box and move ( running lmfao) or was Manny hitting him?

                  You said watch the film. The film shows Floyd clinched an avg of about 2x per round. Is that excessive?

                  Manny never landed the kind of shot Shane did. Or Zab. Or chop chop. Or Maidana.

                  You sure you weren’t looking at doctored footage?
