    He never cherry-picked smaller welterweights and lightweights or even middleweights (Floyd cherry-picked the much smaller JM Marquez, who had been a featherweight until his early 30s). Joe fought people in his own weight division, or with Hopkins and Jones, from a bigger weight division.
    Of course you would pick the white fighter over the black fighter...

    you racist bastard...

        Mayweather....

        He has actually taken some risks. DLH, Corrales, Castillo, Hernandez was considered a risk at the time

          Floyd definitely. Joe barely took a legit risk until he fought Lacy.

              Maybe that is because all the big fights are happening around there?
              Floyd fought JMM, much smaller yes. Who else did he fight who was much smaller? Whoa! Lacy, Bika and Kessler wow

              Floyd has moved up 5 division you moron, how did he do that without consistently fighting bigger guys?

                Floyd is a far better boxer than Joe could ever dream.

                better boxer, resume, and still active.

                    There are probably 5 names on Floyd's resume that are better than a 43 year old Hopkins.

                      Floyd is a ***** who has NEVER taken a real risk. Joe fought all over the world and beat better fighters....

                      Floyd cherrypicks smaller opponents and guys who are old.
