    Floyd is a great boxer, but I don't like when people say don't judge him on other things. Sometimes you have to. Yes, I know I don't know the guy personally, but to beat up the mother of your children in front of them and among the other things he's done, then what's that say about your character? He's an immature clown, and he's not a good person. As far as in the ring, he'll be known for the big fights he didn't take more than his actual opposition.
    I can respect your opinion and I don't condone beatdowns on anyone, but c'mon. If some chick accused you of beating her down, don't you think some pics of bruises and bloody eyes and noses would make the case more credible in court?

    He probably shook the shyt out the kids' mom over some nonsense argument and she claimed torture.

    He copped a plea to avoid a big ol' case going to trial over some lame argument. He accepted whatever punishment the court handed down.

          Sad that we never got to see the best of floyd because he decided to dodge real talent & threats on their prime... he did not want anything to do with prime Cotto prior to margacheato plaster beating... instead he went on vacation for 2 years, 5 years later he fights Cotto after all the punishment he has received. I would not be surprised if I see floyd wanting to fight Pacquiao after of course he got KO'd by marquez & is probably not in his prime anymore.

          Im my opinion he is the smartest boxer/ducker of my generation.

            You fail to mention the constant back-peddling done by Floyd every time Manny agrees to one of his roadblocks?

            Even Floyd fans said "All Manny has to do is agree to the drug testing. If at that point Floyd puts another roadblock then I will agree that it's Floyd that's ducking"

            Manny agreed and agreed then Floyd did what the rest (except Floyd fans) already knew. Floyd put out another roadblock!!! That was the last nail that convinced even some of the Floyd fans that Floyd was NOT interested in fighting Manny. Just some die-hard Floyd fans are still holding on to Floyd wanting and not Manny.

                One of the best of this era, (IMO not an all time great) all these people are saying that Mayweather is a cherry picker, in 20 years time they are going to say that Floyd would whoop all the boxers of that era.

                Most people don't know sh** about boxing

But for those who choose to remain objective and stick to in ring accomplishments he will be remembered as a Olympic bronze medal winning five-division world champion, who has won eight world titles and the Lineal championship in three different weight classes. As well as the most financially successful boxer of his era.
