I see those as competitive, Canelo is a Jr MW so I wouldn't include him.
I am going to give you a triangle story that you might hate. Berto is Victor's left overs. I don't even know if Robert gets past Maidana to be honest with you or Josesito. So for me to think that left handed, flat footed brawler who is slow with his feet and punches survives against Pacman, Thurman and Mathyse is just crazy!
Now you're trying too hard. Guerrero treats Maidana like he did Berto.
its not subpar opposition. Again, you are penalyzing him for being too good. Its like you saying that this is the guys who are youre size but you are soooo good that none of them can touch you so you are forced to fight guys who are 22+ pounds bigger for it to be a fair fight and you dont get no extra credit for it.
Again, if the Ghost had fought anyone else for 135-147 everyone wouldve been saying its a great exciting fight, including Pac. If Garcia right now fights anyone its a great exciting fight but if its Floyd then its a cherry pic. Even a ton of Matthysse fans name all these guys from 140-147. They literally name everyone but if its Floyd then its either a cherry pick or he wins because of size even though Floyd is a very small WW and Lucas will be bigger in the ring
These guys hardly get their feet wet at 147 and they are all OK for Floyd and his fans. So if you can talk about guys like Garcia, Lucas and even Guerrero who hadn't even fought at 140 nor 147 a year ago then why are you not mentioning as easily as you do 140 opponents, the 154lbs opponents? Remember that Floyd has fought at 154 twice now and has a belt and is considered #1 P4P fighter. On top of that Floyd has been at 147+ since 2005.
Marquez had just moved up from 130 to 135 and then fought Floyd at 146 because that small Floyd, as you put it, couldn't/wouldn't go down to 144!!!
I have to agree with Tyson. A single fight of his has more action (depending on if he knocked out his opponent in 1) than 3 of Floyd's most recent fights combined.
That to me was Floyd's best performance since Marquez, a master piece. That's actually why I'm a fan of his, of course Floyd's style isn't for everyone but what he displayed is pretty much why I watch.
So that is why you are a fan of Floyd? .... because he is picking on guys (Marquez/Guerrero) that was fighting at 130/135 (not at 140/147) the previous year and Floyd was able to beat them?
Well, at least you are admitting that you have low standards!
