    Cotto vs delvin Rodriguez
    PAC vs rios
    Ward vs Rodriguez
    Danny Garcia vs salka.

    Etc

    The only reason I give floyd props is because even though most of the time he fights a guy we don't wanna see he still fights top opposition consecutively. His consistency is the best in the sport imo.
    anyone can pick and choose lol

    Mayweather vs Guerrero
    Mayweather vs Baldomir


    see I did it too.

That's Mayweather's craft. Look how he stays still there on the canvas. The crowd isnt bothering him one bit, what a pro! That's why he's the P4P king".

        Yeah but Guerrero and baldomir are still top fighters even if they were safe fights. I know floyds very smart at picking who he wants to fight but he won't fight someone under the top ten as fans would go mental. You can't deny his consistency.

          Floyd gets to them before people like you can realize who the opponent really was at the time of the fight. Floyd outsmarts YOU seals and YOU seals clap.

            Taken all together his career is great but he is guilty of picking the easiest fight at the right time more than anyone else in history. Certainly an all time great but there are probably 8 welterweights that I would say would beat him head to head throughout history and more than 10 that I would say were "greater".

                Diego Corrales simply had a bad fight and the wrong plan... good win in my book

                gatti was a level B fighter... gatti wasn't the top guy at that time (Ricky Hatton was 38-0, PRIME, 140 lbs, not old gatti)

                de la hoya was old and cashing out (2 years after the ko loss to hopkins, ODH beats mayorga for the lineal title and a YEAR later ODH fought floyd. Long layoffs)

                cheated marquez, also marquez had the wrong fight plan (floyd didn't make weight but I dont see how marquez having the wrong fight plan is floyd's fault)

                mosley was old (Almost a year and a half layoff. Cuz floyd fought lightweight JMM instead because according to floyd, "Marquez is the bigger draw")

                ortiz is a nobody (yup)

                cotto wasnt in his prime anymore (different trainer, different style cotto)

                canelo is just a kid who also had the wrong fight plan (152 lbs catchweight fight, "I fight them at their most comfortable weight doe. i want them at their best doe")

                cheated maidana in both fights (other than the gloves bs in the first and second fight and b^tch ass bayless in the 2nd fight, how did floyd "cheat"?)
