Sorry but if you use that kind of analysis we can clearly squash Floyd's resume to smithereens! Didn't Judah lose to Baldomir? Floyd still fought Judah NEXT! So stop it with that nonsense.
Those that Floyd felt the risk was too high, Floyd avoided or avoided until the risk was relatively lower.
Floyd just didn't want to take the risk Floyd. That is why he avoided fights with Williams, Martinez, pre-promoter and retired Oscar, pre-old inactive Mosley, pre-Marquez Manny, pre-Margarito and pre-Manny Cotto and so on .....
What Floyd did is calculate:
"Who am I sure to beat and why? With relatively less risk? Then he is my next opponent.
But just in case, lets stack things on my side
(AKA -get help from USADA, NSAC, judges, ref, .... gloves, CWs, renege on contract, put weird clauses in contracts, plan for an IV and get it, plan for a TUE and get it after the fight.) "

Perfect example of a typical flo tard
Fight tooth and nail not accepting that there were bigger and better challenges out there for Floyd but he chose the easier fights and his fan boys swallow and gobble it up like his Giz!
Floyd could have fought pwill, a prime Martinez at 154, gg at 154, Lara Bradley and others but instead he fought others.
His fan boys come out and say oh they were champions doe
Yes but ****ty ones. If rated see Floyd fight a prime Martinez at 154 for his belt at 154 then fight Maidana or Guerrero. Real boxing fans know try were cherry picks only his fanboys defend it.Comment

Outside of Berto every fighter he fought for over a decade was top 4 in the division and that's cherry picking? No one else can say that. Your favorite fighter, whoever that may be, has done less than that, as has every other fighter in this era, so that means boxing as a whole is nothing but cherry pickers.
because when Floyd supposed to fight them they were top 2 in the division. he waited years until they fade from top 2 to top 4.Comment

I see it that way too. People like to rewrite history.
Take Maidana, I like Chino but hey he got soundly beat by Alexander, a guy who lost every time he stepped up in class. So when Chino gives FM a tough fight, its not "hey maybe FM is overrated", it's "who knew Chino was an elite fighter"lolComment

LMAO if he waited "for years" on everyone I'm surprised he fought anyone. No one else do you required to fight only the top 2 (and Mayweather except for 154 fights was always #1), but somehow he's cherry picking. How did he "wait years" and fight every year? Who is your favorite fighter againComment

Please tell me who he ducked? Dude was selling out arenas so his opponent had to offer something. Ortiz was champ and off best win. Is he great hell no. Honestly Floyd ruined him and his potential. Ghost was undefeated and had a belt! Was he a world beater? Hell No, but was ranked, had a resume, and a name and good story. Maidana had just beat the crap out of Broner and had a belt! I don't know how you can praise Pac and try to **** on Floyd! He not only fought Floyd leftovers but he weight drained them also! GET REAL!! YALL SO BIASED!!!
Ghost was career light weight ..His best win was a win over Berto ..He is hardly a world beater ! And as far as leftovers Floyd and Manny have their fair share ..Maidana was soundly beaten by Alexander he was a belt holder not a champ..
And who did he duck well Manny in 2010 you know the whole testing thing Floyd didn't want to submit to real random testing .l
Winky Wright when he backed out the fight last minute .
Sergio. Martinez at 154 when he was offered an 80/20 split in favor of Floyd
Margarito when he called him out to his face .
The guy had legit challenges where they would have truly elevated his status the guys you listed did nothing for his legacy !Last edited by imperial1; 12-12-2015, 12:46 AM.Comment

Exactly ..I always love the arguments though oh he faced guys ranked in the top 10 p4p blah blah look at the Marquez fight he was what a feather weight yeah he was ranked high at feather not at WW when he fought Floyd who also,had to cheat the scales ..Take Hatton yeah he al. Of a sudden gets a high high ranking at WW when he wins a belt hut was exposed in his first WW fight ..Everyime Floyd fights someone all of a sudden they get elevated .like the Gatti fight was he a belt holder yes was he a hall of famer yes was he a throw away fight for anyone else yes but for Floyd it was a standout win
As far as FM, the way I see it is Victor Ortiz is the only legitimate WW near his prime that Floyd has beat.Comment

Ortiz was the only legitimate WW in his prime that Floyd beat by sucker punching. Great job Floyd lol winner!
