    Floyd rarely fights taller opponents than himself

    how can you call yourself TBE when all your opponents range from 5-6 to 5'8 except oscar and corrales
    No wonder hes terrified of khan

    People always say he is small welter but he always seems to to be bigger and bulkier than his opponents. Only reason he weighs less then them all the time is bc he keeps in shape year round unlike most other boxers

      Well because he is not TBE and clearly matches himself very carefully mostly against slow come forward fighters who he can evade and will walk into his counters.

            amazing how he can call himself the best of all time when he hasnt fought an opponent taller than he is
            He knows his counterpunching abilities become less effective with a tall man with a good jab and decent boxing skill

              of course he does so its the best bet for him to fight mostly guys who come in with no jab, have poor defense, and walk into counters.

              Look at Cotto a guy with good boxing craft gave Floyd the best fight we have seen him in for some time before Maidana 1, and he is shorter.
