      Yes there is. Floyd showed that.

      Scared to get hit? That’s one of the dumbest things you ever posted.

      You’re blatantly lying. Floyd fought a 2x a year schedule after he became the cash cow. Not his whole career.

      Manny needing money and having to fight at this age isn’t a negative for Floyd you ball gargling idiot.

      Some did. Ok.

      That’s one poll. Where is it. Post a link to it. Floyd is #1 in all the others.

      Ah so Floyd beats a top p4p boxer and a manny nut gobbler says ring only ranked them that way to make Floyd look better.

      lmfao. In other words- Floyd’s resume is strong but I have to find a way to weaken it because he finished ahead of Manny.

        Amir Khan was good

        Winky Wright was good

        Not to mention the out of prime guys like Manny Cotto and Shane

        but Floyd was too scared to make fights with these guys so we could see how good he really was.

        Floyd was in the ww division with all of these guys yet managed to not fight them or make the fight when the due date was far passed
        Yawn. Rankings aren’t based on who you didn’t fight. Manny didn’t fight any of these dudes either during that time other than Margs at a cw.

        So he must’ve been scared too.

        Manny didn’t fight young Shane or kosta either. He only fought Bradley because Tim was a free agent and opted to sign with TR because Manny was the easier choice.

        Also he got a sweetheart fake trilogy deal as we saw.

        He fought Thurman but didn’t fight Zab like Floyd. Manny didn’t fight Corley, Mitchell, Corrales, Canelo, and other Floyd did fight.

        He’s just better than Manny and you can’t change the results of all these polls.

          So no link to poll you claimed had Manny ranked ahead of Floyd. So ChatGPT was correct. You lied about a poll. Shame on you.

          So his award is like Trump’s peace prize from FIFA, not a real award just something made up.

          Floyd is just better.

                Difference is Manny cleared all who were available at the time and left no stone unturned.

                  The psychology behind this phenomenon does interest me. Western men are living dull, sedentary, frustrating lives so finding internet tribes and worshipping public figures gives them a sense of purpose.

                    What is this revisionist history? Lot of guys Manny didn’t fight.

                    I se Haka criticize guys Floyd didn’t fight that Manny didn’t fight either.

                    Now Djtmal claims manny cleared all who were available- basically blaming the other guy for not fighting Manny.

                    come on guys stop. No one outside of a few guys has fought everyone. Most of them were hwts.

                      Or they’re bored at work because it’s end of year and not much is going on.
