Now list WHO HAS DONE BETTER SINCEComment

I like Erislandy but he ****ed things up for himself.I don't remember Guerrero ever being on the pound for pound list but I agree, I really wish that the Manny fight had happened 5 years earlier though. Not that the result would have changed but the excuses would have lessened.
If you had the opportunity to pick a fighter from 140-154 that Floyd hadn't fought in the last 5 years to face Floyd who would have gone with?
The only guy that stands out to me is Lara because he such a difficult fighter to face and I think style wise the only guy that could beat Floyd at the moment (it would be an awful fight to watch though.)
Floyds resume since he has come back from retirement (excusing Berto because the less said about that fight the better) is up there with the very best, if not the best. Maybe Froch and Ward being the only other two that have consistently faced world class fighters (before Wards semi-retirement).
Doing the bare minimum against pre-filled out cards Alvarez. The hell was Erislandy thinkingComment

Not bad for a guy who "retired" rather than face Margarito and an undefeated Cotto.
Nah one of those he dragged the poor kid down to 152.Floyd has won 2 titles at 154
See abovea Ring title at 154 and a lineal title at 154
Almost 40 year old who hadn't fought in over 15 months.Mosley
A FW who had just moved to LW. Floyd dragged him up 2 more weight classes and then didn't even bother to make weight.Jmm

Wladimir Klitschko
These wins are all better -
Kubrat Pulev (First man to take his 0 and KO him at the age of 38)
Alexander Povetkin (First man to take his 0)
Bryant Jennings (Another up and coming fighter who's 0 was took)
David Haye
Tony Thompson
All guys much bigger (in terms of division rating) and by far more dangerous also pointer to add they were fought as soon as possible the wait for these fights weren't anywhere near as long as the time it took Floyd to fight Shane, Pacquiao and so on that and the fact Wladimir didn't avoid names.
AND now he is fighting the another guy who is unbeaten and has been on a great run of form.Last edited by M Bison; 08-22-2015, 02:41 PM.Comment

They can't, just like they can't name another boxer from 140-154, that would have would have beat his last 5 opponents. Its easy to hate, but when being realistic, Pacquiao would be the only guy to give it a good run and if he did it, they would act like it was the greatest run in historyLast edited by Calabis; 08-22-2015, 02:49 PM.Comment

Then that says how weak the current division is because IF you think Timothey Bradley couldn't beat all of those guys he named then you're wrong because I'm sure Bradley would beat a Pacquiao who has a shoulder injury
