Anyway, what Floyd has done since his return has been a pleasant surprise. Would have been nice if he fought a couple guys earlier but it certainly didn't occur because he was "ducking." And to his credit, he fought them when they were - at worst - highly respected and coming off wins where their confidence was high. People like to focus on his opponent's flaws while forgetting they aren't the only ones closer to their retirement than they are to their primes. A Pacquiao or Martinez would cap his career off nicely and a win over either/both would lift his dossier to heights seen by but a few. Nevertheless, he's had an all-time great career regardless.

Oh yeah, and of course the Benjamin Button disease which Floyd severely suffers from. "He waits till they get old" as he apparently becomes younger. Yet he's closer to Bernard Hopkins age, than Canelo or Ortiz, and is older than Pac, Cotto, Bradley, etc. Let's not forget how he also waits till fighters go on a decline. Because you know, Floyd is as fast, as powerful, as elusive, as quick on his feet, as he was in the Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Arturo Gatti fights.

Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostThe question you have to ask is did he fight them at their prime and at their best weight:
Gatti - no
Judah - no
Baldomir - yes
De La Hoya - no
Hatton - no
Marquez - no
Mosley - no
Ortiz - possibly
Mosley - no
Cotto -no
So there you have it he beat Baldomir at his best and possibly Ortiz although it remains to be seen how his career turns out at 147.

I love the haters.
2009 : I want Cotto, Mosley, Marquez, Ortiz, Pacquiao
LMAO HE'LL NEVER DO IT HE'LL FIGHT MATTEW HATTON AND MALIGNAGGI
2012 : beat Cotto, Mosley, Marquez, Ortiz and tried to have a fight against Pac.
THEY WERE PAST PRIME. HE WAITED FOR THE GOOD TIMING. HE SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT THE 5 GUYS IN ONE YEAR.
