    He doesn't KO Pacquaio either.

    Loses badly to both.

    Different class of fighters.

      floyd wasn't a cherrypicker until 147 and he became popular.

      ppl like to rewrite history about floyd and pac.

      baldo and zab was not cherrypicks. baldo was lineal champ, zab deal was done before zab lost to baldo. yeah floyd probably shouldn't have fought zab but it's not like he picked zab after he lost.

      delahoya and hatton were big money, can't pass on that.

      floyd didn't become a cherrypicker til he RETIRED and came back.

        Yeah I think so too. Tszyu was excellent in his prime but he was not the caliber of Mayweather and Pacquiao -- both looked like monsters at 140.

          His resume since his return in 2009 has been outstanding. Better wins than any other welter.

            Good fighter, nothing special.

            Still abit puzzled how he's in the HOF but then again the standards are pretty low regardless.

              Yeah I don't get that either and I'm a fan of Tszyu. He was battered by Phillips and then lost to Hatton. Signature win was...Zab? Sharmba? Ehhh.

                mayweather doesn't work his way inside. his opponents do.

                floyd would gladly fight on the outside.

                floyd is faster but kostya had excellent timing and had more power.

                footspeed by itself doesn't guarantee a win. not like floyd runs around anyway, contrary to popular opinion.

                  Don't show here footage of Mosley - all eight years younger of him - getting legitimately battered, hurt and beaten from pillar to post by Vernon Forrest. Can only imagine the emotional distress it would cause him. It'd be like telling a young child that Santa doesn't exist.

                    Actually he does work inside when he chooses to. Castillo I in the later rounds was a prime example. Zab. Chavez. Etc. Don't know where you get that from.

                    Floyd had better timing btw. And definitely didn't say footspeed was the reason.

                      different class as far as resume.

                      his resume is nowhere near theirs.

                      but in a fight he can hang with them.

                      maybe floyd is a stretch but manny would be in trouble.
