    How does picking maidana change what he did in his career that made bhop feel he is top 3 all time?

I always felt that any fight at 154 is a bonus fight, and isnt Bhop historic for fighting smaller guys? LOL. Cherrypicking squared up fighter, fought Tarver after he lost all that weight from that movie? When he had a chance to fight skilled fighters like Dawson he ducked him for 3 years and when they did meet he faked an injury like Henry Armstrong would do.

      Then loss to him? Became friends with Ward, so he could manipulate him into thinking that because their friends they shouldnt fight? Now he is with Showtime fighting bums, yelling "I want to unify...But the promoters and network is ruining it for me!"

      You wanna talk about the best, name a fighter in history that had the skillset of Floyd. Who can fight his OLD, Green, cherrypicked opponents and change their entire styles to dominate them all without being grazed? Yea Floyd should have faced Pac, and he ducked him, but even without Pac, Floyd is by far the best fighter ALL of us have seen. Thats why people GREATLY exaggerate about his opponents being bums, to make excuses for why this guy is so sharp. Bhop is a great legend, but he sound jealous and he sound bitter because a smaller fighter dont want to fight him. Get over it. I will watch more of the video.

      two questions,

      1.what's floyd's best win?

      2.name me a fighter that was a legit hall of famer that floyd faced who was in their prime?


      the answer you get, does it equate with being as you put it, the greatest we have ever seen?

        Bhop just said Floyd is top ATG in history after Floyd walked down Canelo, then after Floyd "ducked" his advances at 160lb, he says this? I would appreciate it if he said it after that fight. Dont say it because your bitter he dont wanna fight you.

          bhop said floyd is not taking the toughest tests. to call yourself the best ever, you gotta prove it. he then went on to say how armstrong tested himself by going up in weight.

              Bhop makes some good points. He said some dfferent things after the Canelo fight. He is entitled to his opinion.

                Yes I saw that. But you didn't answer my question my man.

                Bhop knows the current situation and knows why floyd v. maidana is happening now. So there seems to be something else here. Possibly angling for a MW showdown with floyd, possibly to get attention for his fight.

                Either way, he made some good points. why would any of us be surprised that a HOF fighter would have a problem with another caiming to be TBE.

                  I cant think of any proven HOF that he faced that were in their prime tbh.

                  I think Floyd's best wins are his past several fights. Each of them all had completely different styles and he changed his ENTIRE fighting style to dominate them without being grazed. Name a fighter in history that can fight HALF of his resume, and NOT beat them, KO them, DESTROY them, but change their whole fighting style and not even get hissed?

                  Their is NO FIGHTER IN HISTORY that good. Their is none better than him. I believe that every fighter has a legacy for their own reasons. I dont agree with Pac's ww resume at ALL, but I NEVER discredited his legacy because he climbed those weight classes to beat them.

                  Their is NOTHING that will blind me from seeing Floyd's raw talent. Its almost shiesty the way you all find ways to talk around it. He's the best we've ALL seen.

                  Even when he fought Judah, BEFORE he built a better legacy Arum was calling him the best in HISTORY based off of skills. He talked about technique, and abilities. How can you LIE and say he isnt the BEST in history? This was BEFORE he even went on and fought the rest of his foes. And get this. Not ONCE did I mention Floyd's undefeated record. I dont have to. He's the sharpest fighter and their will NEVER be a fighter like this. Yall will hate it when he's gone. Your kids will watch him on youtube.

                    Is Bernard Hopkins bipolar or just salty? I remember after the Mayweather-Canelo fight he called Floyd one of the top 3 best fighters of all time! Now he's criticizing Mayweather for basically saying the same thing about himself...

                    I think Bernard is upset that Floyd doesn't want to fight him at 160. Bernard is looking for that huge payday that he will never get fighting guys like Shumenov. Yeah Floyd acts like a character to sell fights and that's why he's so rich. If Floyd behaved the way Bernard suggest he should behave Floyd would basically be in the same spot that Andre Ward and Timothy Bradley are in. Sure people respect the talent those guys have but Nobody gives a damn about them.
                    LMAO ooo look the excuse brigade come rolling in...
                    Pathetic standing up for a coward, Floyd doesn't give a **** ass about you Floydtarts.
