    I merely pointed out how statistics can be skewed when gathered and compared from different eras. It's not as simple as all that, as I have clearly demonstrated. And it's amusing you talk down to me; I'm a grown ass man in my prime that done forgot more than you ever learned. But the net allows for all sorts of things I suppose.

    Floyd is well conditioned.. but ref protected. In another era he would not have been. Interested to know how Maidana 1 would have gone without fast breaks in the last half. Also I'd be interested to know how the first Castillo fight would have gone for 3 more rounds, since Floyd was struggling with an injury.
    Always ends up the same woulda coulda shoulda , as a grown ass man you should know better .

      Then don't compare two different eras.

        Same conditions like competing in 5 different weight classes right?

          I think Floyd is a fine fighter, top 30 of all time which is a helluva achievement, but he should go down on his knees everyday and thank the Lord that he didn't exist in the era of Duran, Leonard and Hearns.

            Would be interesting , Floyd would beat the like of Esteban DeJesus and 99% of anyone on there resumes , so he would be highly competitive especially at 135-140 , could he be undefeated probably not .

            I dont believe anybody his size will just wipe him out his defense is that good , I believe he could compete in any era in the history of boxing .

            I dont go for the best in history for any guy you will never hear me talk that stuff , I think that stuff is fan BS , I believe the top guys if they were in a horse race and as they crossed the finished line you could throw a blanket over the whole field with very little between them , run the same race next week and you have a different result .

                Laziness? Mentioning someone fighting in the 15 round era when said fighter didn't have many 15 round fights isn't valid?

                  oh - i literally thought you didn't know the answer to the question you posed.

                  anyway, yeah, he only fought like 5 of those 15 rounders, only going the distance juance.

                      I didnt , Im looking at 2 different fighters on face value after watching them fight and Floyd is waaaaaaaaay better than Marciano as a professional boxer , its nots close at all , to go down your imaginary route if Floyd was a HW he box circles around Rocky and win every round in a total shut out .
