    Looking back, where Ortiz and Guerrero even credible opponents for floyd???

    Both these guys best wins (berto) git taken out impressively against a tough Gatekeeper at Ww. Karras did a better job then both these guys so there wins over berto where not even impressive if you think about it. Karass even best ayfin better then gurerro. Does this cement the claims that floyd is a cherry picker?

    No, this means Mayweather must fight Karass next!

        yes, they were credible
        decent fights, acceptable fights, fights you can't knock Floyd for taking
        but neither of them were any more than that
        beating Berto got them a ranking, not an A class tag
        Floyd didn't prove anything by beating them, but you can't criticize him

          they would have been credible fights for anyone else when floyd took them. so exactly why wouldnt they be for floyd?

            The thing about karess beating berto is that berto was already damaged goods,, That ortiz fight ruined him,, ghost hurt him right off the bat, and ruined him even more,,, I knew berto was done, thats why its no shocker that karass beat him down...

            And yes i think ortiz and ghost were credible fights for floyd....
            Floyd was coming off a 16 month layoff and fought a young big puncher like ortiz,, it was a great tune-up for floyd to shake the ring rust....
            Ghost was legit, he would give any welter a tough fight,,, broner alexander, bradley, jmm, ortiz, maidana,, all would have problems with ghost,,,
            floyd is just so much better than everyone else at welter, so people think he takes easy fights,,, yes everyone wanted the manny fight, but thats not happening,, Ghost earned his spot, failed miserably, but that doesnt mean he wasnt legit,, it just means that floyd is heads above everyone else..

              yes^^^ exactly... outside of floyd fighting bradley and manny, these were legit fights at the time they were made...

              i would like to see ghost vs alexander,khan, or broner just to prove how tough ghost is... when is isnt fighting floyd...

              floyd was just better

                Considering that if he hadn't fought them, the same people who discredit the wins would be on here talking about how he ducked them, I'd say that they were credible fights. Not legacy fights, but up and comers on hot streaks.

                  ive been aying this forever they were never credible opponents. the last credible opponent floyd had was jose luis castillo.
