Floyd's Resume

[BoxingGenius27]

Yes, but he mentioned long ago that Arum screwed him out of money and he hasn't worked with him since, right? 2+2=??? Maybe he didn't want to badmouth Arum at the time. I don't know the reason, but common sense says that if he didn't work with Arum then or since, not wanting to work with Arum was most logically answer why he didn't push for the fight.

We'll have to disagree on this one my friend.

The thing is people will never give Floyd credit. People try to act like his resume is crap but people never take into account where his opponents careers were at during the time Floyd fought them. Even Guys like Chavez and N Dou were good wins considering where they were at in their careers whenn Floyd fought them.

Good point. Not to mention, Floyd is held to a MUCH higher standard than anyone else. Just look at all the excuses being made in the "Did Pac duck Shane in 09?" thread. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=628320 The same people there defending Pac for a BLATANT duck are the same people saying Floyd ducked Cotto, Margarito, GGG, Martinez, prime Mosley and anyone else they can think to associate Floyd with. They will also say Floyd didn't fight people in their primes, when he wasn't in his prime either or not at their best weight, when he wasn't at his best weight. The hate is just astounding.

where was phillip ndou in his career when floyd fought him? he seemed to be an unknown bum who only fought in south africa with a flashy record against bums. maybe floyd ruined him and that's why he never did anything good in boxing? makes sense.

Pacs is the best that's why hes FOTD. BH is also better than Floyds.
JMM and Bradley also have wins over Pac, as did Morales which is better than anything Floyd has ever done.
Oh, Morales is retired isn't he?

What's funny is sooo many people thought the Canelo fight would be competitive even with the catchweight. But those same people don't give Floyd credit for the win

some people thought baldomir would give floyd problems does that make baldomir good?

Thats why Floyd is full of contradictions. Hes supposed to be held to a higher standard, yet everyone is supposed to give Floyd problems.
Ancient SSM was supposed to give him problems some think hed beat Floyd. So Floyd cant be as good as people say. Until recently he was in the same boat as BH.
People think everyone is going to beat BH cos of his age and then he beats them instead, ie Pavlik etc etc.

On the other hand with Pac, the people who used to make Pac underdog changed their minds after Pac beat DLH.
JMM, Bradley and everyone is underdog against Pac now.
