He was fortunate to have the Castillo fight lean towards him on the cards the first fight. Plus towards the tail end of his career he timed his fights pretty good which is understandable because he was older. But the main thing I think towards the end is end is that he is very fortunate that his chin held up when he took those shots from Mosley in the 2nd round and that right hand at the end of the round from Maidana in the rematch. Those shots could have just as easily knocked him out but he somehow took them flush. I'm sure he looks back and thinks how the hell did I not get dropped from those.

pac fans talking about the benefits of match making, catch weights and ped usuage is the epitome of irony.
Every fight above 135 was a calculated match with individuals past prime, at catch weights, or without punching power

His style is very difficult to be successful against. It's pretty remarkable that he essentially negated everything his opponents were good at, and the ones who decided to throw everything at him, weren't good enough in the first place to beat him.Comment

Maybe Floyd's just that much better than everyone else.Comment

He is a great boxer and he is and always has been very dedicated to boxing. He trains very hard and stays in shape even between fights. He stays within a few pounds of his fighting weight at all times. He always enters the ring in great condition.Comment

He puzzled his opponents with an adaptive style. Out thought his opponents. Knew their strengths, and how to take them away.
I do believe Castillo go him in the first fight. But the rematch was Floyd.
I believe Floyd Learned a lot from Castillo & Maidana.Comment

Oh that's hilarious Was Bradley not his prime? Yes he was
That's better than most of Floyd's oppoenents in the last several years ..Has there ever been the amount of evidence against PAC with regards to PED's like there was with Floyd ? NO !
Calculated fights that's funny coming from a Mayweather supporter ..His whole career has been calculated even the fight with Manny when Manny Was at his best he waited and waited until he got knocked out and then all of a sudden the timing was right ..Glass Holmes Floyd lives in a glass community !Comment

As the years roll on, his ATG status will rise. It's truly amazing that a fighter that had accomplished all that he accomplished, still chose to press on and fight to almost 40, retire undefeated, P4P #1, without a legit threat in or around his division.
He took everybody's best shot, gameplan/tactics and didn't blink.Comment
