    assessments of floyd's resume will reflect these realities. the best fighters he faced at WW were all past their best.

    cotto had taken two beatings, lost to trout within a year

    mosley's ranking as the top WW was a mirage because of the margarito wraps scandal, and his likely use of wraps in the fight against cotto, which earned him the ranking

    manny was out cold against marquez, and his legs had been deteriorating for years.

    oscar got his orbital broken against steve forbes within a year of the floyd fight. he beat ricardo freaking mayorga prior to that. looking back prior to that, he was stopped by hopkins, got a gift decision against felix f#cking sturm.



    TBE DOE!
    Loooooool. You asked for the fight. You got the fight. Your boy got schooled, and now you want to cry about it? Loooooooooooooool.

    Edit - But I bet Cotto, Margarito and Oscar were still good wins for #48 in spite of all that right? Right?

      These bitches are trying to change the narrative. Like Pacquiao, they can't take their L with dignity.

        It's hilarious. Floyd is scared. Coward this, chicken that. And now? An endless stream of salty tears.

        Loooooooooooool.

              If they'd STFU, accept the L and stop crying all over the forum, I might. They've decided otherwise, so this is what they get.

                It kind of is when before the fight he said Pacquaio would beat Floyd and that Floyd was scared to death of him.

                As for the second part, wasn't Floyd fighting bigger men for the most part at 147-154?

                  Not sure why folks even reply to dude. And of course those were good wins for Manny because they were sooooo much bigger than Manny. But let's not mention the catch weights they invovled. Or let's not mention that Floyd started at 130 and fought all the way up to 154. Nah, Floyd's been fighting little guys his whole career!

                    Of course he was. Especially when you consider he started his career at 130 pounds. But let's ignore that though.
