Floyd's resume broken down.

[Tim2daresq]

Floyd mostly beat good fighters who were at the tail end of their career to make a name for himself. But once FLoyd became a name he did as little as he could get away with, and he wont allow people to make a name off of him. People want to fight him but he puts his hand up talk to the hand cos the face aint listening.

Theres a saying becoming a champ is the easy part, staying there is the hard part. Floyd tries making staying there as easy as he can get away with, by either ducking, or not fighting.

If Floyd fought every six months or so, those fighters he faced, he would get more credit for it than he does. But having the luxury to fight when he wants to does make who he beats easier.

Absolutely agree. When you really break it down. That's all Floyd's done his whole career.

Rigo beats a prime, p4p fighter, with counter punching and KO power, while FLoyd fights a bunch of guys that are either tailor made for him, or at the tail end of their careers.

Simple and plain.

Floyd is a fraud and we all know it, even if some die hard Flwomos won't admit it.

maybe, maybe not, depends on how you see it. What we can hope best is that rigondeaux will also rise thru the weight classes and dominate and chase greatness in the pros just like floyd did. I'd mention it again, if skills pays the bills and rigo has it, so why not right?

I hope he doesn't stay at 122 til he retires, otherwise what a shame.

He won't even be mention at the same breath as floyd 50 years from now if that's whats going to happen.

Rigo is 32, and is already doing what people praise Floyd for. Fighting at a higher weight class than he should be, and coming in much smaller than his opponent on fight night.

I think it's legendary stuff, the fact that he comes in the same weight on fight night, and utterly outclasses a bigger, prime, p4p fighter, with a counter punching style, and concussive KO power.

[Tim2daresq]

What's next? Flowmos are gonna say he has a better win than SRL??? LMFAO.

[Tim2daresq]

SO... lets follow your logic.

The Donaire win is = to the Corrales win...

But... if Donaire is much greater than Corrales... by your own admission... how does that make sense?

I don't understand that myself.

[Tim2daresq]

Its the worst kept secret in the world that Floyd isnt the best fighter in the sport of boxing.

Rigo beating Donair has made Rigo leap above Donaire on the basis of one fight. Therefore he should leap above Floyd as Donaire is better than anyone Floyd has ever fought.

Floyds supposed to be the best fighter in the world, yet Canelo and Trout are facing harder opponents than Floyd is. SSM is facing harder opponents than Floyd. SSM fought Canelo didnt he, yet Floyd can fight the likes of Guerrero?

Precisely. Floyd's whole mystique is a fraud. It's disgusting.

its not a shame...i mean he is 32...Floyd at that age didnt jump weightclasses either...you cant count weighing in @ 150 for a LM fight jumping a weightclass...Rigo is really really small...the chances of him going down to 118 are bigger than him going to 126...but im hoping also that he after he totally cleans the division out try his luck in another division too but if not i wont be mad...Hagler is a ****in ATG and he "only" fought @ MW...
