Henandez is a HOF who had 8 title defenses in a row. Floyd beat him when he was 21 yrs old. Thats an accomplishment. Corrales was undefeated and considered the best at the weight. Castillo was the lineal and undisputed champ. Floyd gets more credit because he was so young when he beat these vets.
You can't have it both ways

Floyd is nowhere near the greatest of all time. If he and his fans want to think that then fine.Fine. But Margarito and cotto in 2005 were not great ww's. Niether was clottey, berto williams or manny. Cotto was the best of this group at that point but he was still the jr ww champ. he had not yet fully campaigned at 147.
This is why I think you are holding floyd to an impossible standard. It;s like you are inflating the value of the guys he didn't fight. I get why you don't think he is the best and why you don't like him.
But purposely undervaluing his resume at 147?Comment

Oh come on now this is a natural LW fighting in the welterweight division and even wants Junior Middleweight fights. Seriously anyone that gives up that much size consistantly isn't scared of any man.Comment

Hernandez also fought in a division known for being wasteland of Talent and like i said he was a good fighter but not that good. Corrales again was proven to be a fighter with a tons of holes in his game and so was JLC. Dont get me wrong they were all brilliant fighters but they wernt exactly what Joe Frasier was to Ali.Henandez is a HOF who had 8 title defenses in a row. Floyd beat him when he was 21 yrs old.

No Floyds a Natural Welterweight now come on you didn't notice how he towered over JMM who is LW himself. Floyds fighting in the correct division for his size while it's obvious Pac is not.Last edited by pistol whip; 07-16-2010, 02:31 PM.Comment

Genaro is in the HOF. No he isn't as good as Frazier. Oh you mean where they are right now. I think Pac is a 140lber. Floyd is bigger right now.Hernandez also fought in a division known for being wasteland of Talent and like i said he was a good fighter but not that good.

No cherry I just don't agree with you and am asking you how you reached your opinion. I know its tough to defend your opinion because its rooted in I hate floyd not fact.
I never said floyd was the greatest of all time because I don't think he is. I think anyone who calls him a ducker would have done the EXACT same thing floyd did at 147 and damn sure would've fought ODH at 154 for $30 mil instead of clottey.
You can't defend your point so I'm a floyd apologist.Comment
