    These are all opinions son, again thats the thing. Floyd detractors ALWAYS rely on the opinions. It's the facts that make them sick to their stomach..

      That fight against Chico elevated his status as a world beater in the eyes of pure boxing fans but that fight against hoya elevated him to world boxing superstar status.

      He's afraid of pacquiao doe.

        Corales was the defining fight IMO....

        That was a highly anticipated match up and nobody knew the outcome. There were no special treatments to give Floyd an advantage.......

          Too many but I would probably go with the Mosley fight just due to the ridiculous "He ducking doe" dumbness that you read into around boxing these days.

            Yet someone with accomplishments like that aren't ATG in your book. TBE favoritism.

              He is not 'TBE' or anywhere even near it. You would have to be a complete spastic if you thought he was/is. Baldomir and running away from Manny with his ocean full of excuses define this arsehole's career to me. The bloke has done more to damage the sport than any fighter I can think of. Cant wait until he retires and takes his circus and all his racist, bumsniffing fanboys with him.

                  His career defining win was definitely the Dela Hoya win.

                  But that wasn't his best win.

                    Lol what?

                    Mayweather was a big favourite to win that fight and everybody pretty much expected him to.

                      He was a slight favourite not a big favourite.

                      Many thought Corrales would win.
