Having 5 l's (Really only 4, I cringe when that Bradley loss gets counted) really doesn't mean ****. All the greats lose. Floyd is the exception, not the rule.

Thank you. I don't give a crap what the "official" decision is in a fight 95% of the boxing world agrees on. So what if the Bradley loss is on Pac's record officially.Comment

I'm saying that Floyd has the skills to hang for certain fights at middleweight; you pick the right matchup and Floyd can win.
Roy Jones Jr was never going to knock off Lennox Lewis or the Klitschko brothers; you throw him in with a faded Holyfield or a fat James Toney and he likely comes out on top for those.
Looking at *********.com and their middleweight rankings, Floyd imo comfortably beats Billy Joe Saunders, Daniel Geale, Sam Soliman, Sergio Martinez (legs are shot), and Miguel Cotto.
He likely beats most many of the other guys too, but why would Floyd ever put himself in with a guy who weighs 180 pounds and put himself at a 30 pound deficit.
Golovkin walks into the ring at 175 pounds on fight night for ****s sake.Comment

Please, dude forces catchweights, picks gloves, cheats weights, has already retired (what two times or just once)...and he isn't even at 48-0. "Otherworldy talent" you say? Come on, dude has had to struggle greatly just to get where he is while Calzaghe made it look easy.
And those losses to no name guys came when Pac was starving himself to make a weight that he had no business at and sending everything back home to support his family, the dude was dirt poor with no knowledge of health or fitness at all. That's far from the guy that Floyd will be stepping in the ring with in a few months.
Fought Oscar with a re-hydration clause, fought Margarito at a catchweight, fought Marquez at a catchweight, fought Algieri at a catchweight, fought Cotto at a catchweight.
in case you missed it, that isn't Mayweather's resume; that's Pacquiao'sComment

they won because they're willing to go to hell just to trade with Pacquiao. Marquez had to drink piss, hire memo and had to to fall five times and broke his nose and took him 42 rounds just to land that killer punch. Does Floyd have the heart and soul to do that?Last edited by Espada; 03-07-2015, 03:30 AM.Comment
