    Oscar could crack and he was game that night. Mayweather's defense was on point; all it was. Anyway, Corrales was a risk, giving JLC a rematch was also a risk. Ganero Hernandez was a risk.

        I hear all the times in these forums from people who discredit Floyd by saying his resume is shytty which is a lie.

        See for your self.

        He beat Genaro Hernandez when PBF was 21 years old....Hernadez was 38-1 and the WBC feather weight King when Floyd MANHANDLED him.

        Manfredy was another exciting fighter who was only 25-2 when Floyd whupped on him.

        Diego Corralles was 33-0..UNDEFEATED.....when Floyd dropped him 5 times.

        Jesus Chavez another good fighter was 35-1 when Floyd beat his azz.

        JLC was 45-3 and was one of the best fighters in the world and Floyd beat by UD twice.

        Ndou was freakin 31-0 with what like 30 knock outs..when Floyd beat his azz.

        Chop Chop was a good fighter as well and even layed the boom on Floyd a couple times and he was 25-2 when Floyd taced him.

        Judah at the time was coming off a fluke loss against Carlos Baldomir...and gave Floyd all he candle early in the fight until Floyd broke him down.

        Oscar De LeHoya was favored by almost EVERYONE in here...70% of you guys picked ODH to win by KO...and Floyd outboxed him as well....meanwhile Oscar had small gloves, a small ring and the fight was at 154 against a guy who has damn good KO power...oh yeah and ODH weighed atleast 170 for that fight..Floyd was a mere 148.

              Fighting a part time fighter was not a risk.

              No.

              That fight was all about money.

                A weight drained Oscar who got busted up by Forbes shouldnt be in Pacs top wins.

                      I'm sorry, but Oscar won like 11 rounds in the Forbes fight.

                      Not saying that Floyd hasn't taken risks, just that he sure took a lot more of them at 130/135. And when you call yourself the greatest boxer that ever lived, people hold you to a higher standard.

                      As in, right now he should be calling out Williams, Martinez, Mosley, Pac, whoever, come get some.
