    That's why Floyd is so all time great at 130 and 135, he wasn't so exclusively defensive as he is now. I remember being very impressed with Floyd in the Castillo fight, even with the bum shoulder, sitting in the middle of the ring and exchanging with Castillo, and damn near fighting him even.

    130 and 135 Floyd was an unbelievable all around fighter.

                He did get tagged in that fight.

                And he learned in the Zab Judah fight( considered a better fighter then Corley)That he didn't have to go toe to toe to dominate.
                What has Pac learned ?

                Pac's training tacis are superior, it is all in the keeping of blood.

                Even though superstition and Catholidm contridict each other Pac's a holy man !!!

                    When Floyd opens up offensively, it's a thing of beauty. It's a shame he, like RJJ, choose to do this soooooo intermittently and usually when they knew the opponent was no threat whatsoever (here, Gatti, Hatton, et al). In a way, you could say it's a waste of such great talent...

                      Genaro Hernandez was not that good. Slow with no punch and at the end of his career. Going toe to toe with him don't mean ****. He shoulda went toe to toe with De la Hoya (one that was at the end of his career also). Now that would have been a lot more impressive. And you would't have to go back some 10 years to show Money May got some marbles tucked between his legs somewhere.
