    For my part, I acknowledge he is likely one of the greatest boxers to ever lace them up, even if he does like to tell everyone about it.
    No, Floyd is not a god, I am not one of those morons. But, Floyd is the greatest boxer to lace them up, in his era, and the real fighter of the decade, sorry Manny.

    People always like to say Floyd never fought anyone but Manny has fought all these beasts at Welterweight. But, how many fighters has Manny fought at 140 or above that had titles (WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, RING, not the IBO which is what Hatton had going into the fight with Manny) going into the fight with him???? 1, Cotto, and he won his title over Michael Jennings. De La Hoya at 145, no title. Hatton at 140, had the IBO title, not one of the 5 major titles. Cotto had the WBO title after he beat Jennings. Clottey, had no title, hadn't even won a fight in 2 years. Margarito, had no title, that was a vacant 154 lb title at a CW of 150 lbs. Mosley, had no title after getting dominated by Floyd. Marquez, had no title at Welterweight.

    Sure, you can critique Floyd's resume as well, but he's fought 6 fighters at 140 or above that had major titles going into the fights with him. Gatti, had the WBC title. Judah, had the IBF title. Baldomir, had the WBC and RING titles. De La Hoya, had the WBC title. Mosley, had the WBA title. Ortiz, had the WBC title.

    So yeah, you can critique both fighters resumes, but Floyd does catch a lot of crap for no reason from his haters.

    And people say Floyd ducked this guy or that guy, mainly Cotto and Margarito, but than refuse to say Manny ducked anyone. Also, Floyd and his camp had been calling out Cotto since 2006, to which Top Rank said "Cotto isn't ready for Floyd". Than, when Floyd announces he's done after Hatton, Cotto and Top Rank say Floyd is ducking. But, if you're going to say Floyd did that, than didn't Manny Pacquiao duck rematches with Barrera (4 years) and Marquez (4 years and 3 1/2 years)??? Also, didn't Manny avoid Raheem in 2006, after Raheem schooled Morales??? Didn't he do a nice job of avoiding Guzman in 2008, who was unbeaten, one of the top contenders at the time??? Or how about Mosley in 2009 and 2010, when Shane was coming off KO wins over Mayorga and Margarito??? Or how about Berto in 2010, when Andre was unbeaten??? Or how about Ortiz in 2011, when Victor was coming off his biggest win over a previously unbeaten Berto??? So, there are questions with everyone, that's all I am trying to say.

    Manny and Floyd both catch a lot of heat for no reason at times. For instance, Marquez was NEVER robbed against Pacquiao. They were all close fights that could have gone either way, end of story.

        You mean like facing a better, younger version of Marquez that just beat Pacquiao.

            Its funny how the second gif of the left hand punches from judah didn't even land.

            *******s are so desperate sometimes.

            You aren't the only one that can play that game

            If you watch that in super-slow motion, Pacquiao was actually dominating those exchanges.

              Ok, I was sensing some bitterness, maybe based on the Hatton bludgeoning haha

                      i love these threads when some troll really thinks hes being clever when in reality hes just embarassing himself and exposing his own lack of boxing knowledge.

                      in most of the clips you show floyd is throwing punches and missing, any time you commit and miss a punch you give the other guy a chance to turn you. everyone misses sometimes so no matter how good you are at cutting the ring off there are gonna be times when you fail.

                      you have to look at the fight overall, and looking at the fight overall floyd did a good job of cutting the ring off against judah. most clips you show are from early in the fight too, we all know he struggled early just like we all know he came back to dominate. its shows his intelligence and ability to adapt, impressive if you ask me.

                      saying hes not slick bcuz he got hit by one punch is just immature, everyone gets hit. floyd still got hit far less than average in the judah fight. you can post a clip of any fighter in history getting hit.. pep, toney, locche, whitaker etc.. they all got hit, but they got his less than average so they were still brilliant defensive fighters as is floyd.

                      when you show these clips of mosley and judah tagging him, what you are really saying is "holy ****, floyd got hit!" well no ****, this is boxing everyone gets hit sometimes. that you get all worked up it shows how rarely he gets hit and how special a fighter he really is. nobody needs to go back like 5 fights to find spots where pacquiao, donaire, martinez, JMM and all these other top fighters look bad. they have bad moments far more often, so often ppl dont react. but with floyd ppl cant get over him being hit clean once back in like 2008.
