He carefully guided his career and avoided the best threats in their prime.

    his ducking of Pacquiao shows his cherry picking ways and how people actually think he isn't ducking and buy his reasoning makes me shake my head.

    He is the only fighter in history who openly admits hei s scared for his health.

      Floyd knows one thing and that's this: 99% of the money in boxing comes from casual viewers who have no idea wtf they're watching and just want an excuse to chug beer and boo at something.
      LMAO @ "spanish guys names Jose, Gonzolez and Hernando!"

        Yes, not that he isnt an excellent boxer coz he is but his supposed ability to adapt vs any style does not reflect reality...the one thing that he exceptionally has is his superb defense...

          So overrated. Who has he fought. All his fights are boring ud against weak opposition. That's not the mark of the greatest.

            Floyd is what he is. A fantastic technical boxer that is a legit hall of famer and nothing more.
            He can hype it up and sell all the Haynes tshirts he wants, but your not TBE when your the only one saying it.

              Do ppl realize how ****** they sound? Like seriously. The guy is 37; just unified titles in 2 divisions and is widely considered the best fighter in the world. At 37. Now make a list of fighters who could claim the same. At 37. I swear u dudes are not boxing fans. Have no sense of history of the sport.

                He's picking them at the right time for him, and often the wrong weight for them. Scammer with no interest in facing the best on level terms.

                  I wouldn't say he's overrated; Floyd is obviously one of the best fighters in the world BUT he slowed down and looked far from TBE last night.

                  He went life and death with MARCOS MAIDANA I still can't get over it.
