Floyd fought, Henry Bruseles, Arturo Gatti, Sharmba Mitchell, again none of them were top 3, who were Tyszu, Hatton and Cotto
Floyd fought Hatton in his prime and when he was undefeated and Floyd fought Cotto right after hr came off arguably the greatest performance of his career when he kicked margacheatos azz and at a weight Cotto was comfortable at.
2007 2008.
The welter division hits a peak, Margarito, Mosley, Cotto and Williams all at the top of their game.
Floyd drags Hatton up, a guy that relies on his size advantage at the lower weights to maul his opponents and then fights Oscar, who had 1 fight in 3 years, a win over the ever hittable Mayorga.
Any of those welterweight opponents were the tougher fights and even at light-middle, Forrest, Spinks would have been tougher tasks than Oscar.
Then Floyd takes two years out (ducking) the tough fights and those 4 fighters all take turns knocking chunks out of each other.
Floyd
Basically won 18 of 24 rounds against Mosley and Cotto who both destryed Margacheato right before they fought Floyd but somehow Floyd's legacy is tarnished because he didn't fight the dude with wraps and ****** balls once hr was caught ?
Is this what were all supposed to believe, girls ?
Those big four have taken their knocks in Floyd's absent or have move out of the division.
A safe time for Floyd to comeback. But their is a new danger guy, Manny Pacquiao. He is small and Floyd thinks he can beat him, but does not risk it.
On the eve of Pacquiao's fight with Hatton, Floyd announces his comeback against the lightweight champ of the world, JMM, but at welterweight, not lightweight.
If Floyd waited a d, he could have been in negotiations to fight Pacquiao in November.
Floyd did this, to ride of the Pacquiao name and duck Pacquiao as an opponent.
Floyd also avoided Mosley claiming he was not a PPV attraction, strange as Mosley did almost 50% more than the Marquez fight. Floyd would only fight Mosley almost a year later at the age of 37 and being 17 months out of the ring.
Floyd was weary about facing Pacquiao and would wait to see how he would do against a top welter in Cotto to decide weather to take the risk.
The three failed ped tests alone have tainted his legacy. The is the same guy who claimed to be the MLK of clean sport. He's discovered to be one of the dirtiest. Who knows how long he's been juicing?
