Well then you are just biased...

If you dont think Floyd's legacy is overrated then you dont know much about the history of boxing

dudes resume doesnt compare to ali, hearns, leonard, oscar..

His skills are amazing but he has dodged too many big fights to be considered an ATG top 10.... His resume is the only thing that is overrated...
Some guys on here think he has just the greatest list of opponents ever when in reality, he has cherrypicked most of them...
Like when he went to 140 and challenged the great bruseles, corley, and gatti... When the division had unbeaten hatton, cotto and champion tsyzu

Or when he "retired" instead of testing himself vs the top welters,

Nope. Let's put it this way. Even other ATG fighters acknowledge his skills. People that have actually done it at the highest level give him his just due.

Totally agree that his skills are awesome...

But the question of the thread is he overrated..

And like ive said before the only thing that is overrated is his resume.. Not his skills,,, He def is one of the greatest ever but his resume is more like roy jones than it is ali

You post the same **** over and over again that's been refuted over and over again yet you still post it constantly as if it's fact. IT ISN'T. Blind hate.

It depends who you ask really.

His resume has ****** in the later stages in his career. It really gets me mad when I think of all the fights he could have had. Granted, very few fighters "fight everyone" and obviously not every fight can get made due to various circumstances. But still, you can't help but say he took the easier fights knowing he'd get just as much money. That's arrogant and not fair to his fans. And I'll tell you what: In those "coulda shoulda woulda" fights, he most likely would have won them all. Imagine what his legacy would be like now had he taken those fights. Even if he lost, who cares? He'd still be a great boxer.

I don't think he was physically afraid, I just think he's just scared to death of losing his perfect record. He can't handle losing. If he lost earlier in his career he probably would have retired right away like Trinidad and Hamed.

according to boxingscenes community every boxer is literally ****. especially all the top p4p guys.

Not sure how someone can be the best of their era and be called overrated. If that's the case then some of us have seen garbage boxers this whole time and are still waiting see a great

It all ends Sept 14th though

but i do think he would have showed people more if lost ones early in his career

saying an after KOed Pacquiao's resume is still better than him says how bad his cherrypicking con job is
