LMFAAOOOOO

oscar was washed up by the time floyd got to him. ditto pacquiao.
ditto shane who was damn near 40 and coming off a year and a half of in activity and he almost ko'd floyd.


smdh at prime toney pre prime hopkins being equal to past prime pacquiao, shane, and oscar.

you people have no shame whatsoever.

Floyd was just about as worn thats the part you dont understand , and Floyd gave Oscar 20lbs to make up for it , Manny could not beat the 154 Oscar Floyd beat .

If you fight a guy thats prime and so are you its equal , if you fight a guy thats had 30 fights and so have you its pretty much equal , off course there is differences but the point Im making Floyd never belonged at 147 and above , his ability prime was 135 , at 135 Floyd would terrorize a 135 Toney .

We have no shame stating reality and you have no understanding of boxing to comprehend it beyond your fan hate .

You just dont get it , a 20 lb handicap to Canelo is a much tougher task than a 20lb handicap to Ruiz .

Its like GGG hits guys harder at his weight than a HW does at his weight , if you could work out scientificly the percentage ratio you would find FW up LH hit harder for their weight than HWs , and about 3 times faster more often and so much better fitness and skills .

As good as is subjective , Mosley , Oscar Manny were all at the same level Floyd was at for those fights

Oscar's last good win was in 2002. He was a washed up coming out of retirement coke head in 2007 when he fought Floyd. And Mosley was 39 years old and coming off a 16 month layoff.

You Floyd fanatics are hilarious.

Why do you care so much? There are quantitative & qualitative assessments of all forms of entertainment. From a quantitative standpoint, Floyd wins among most people who are being rational. From a qualitative standpoint, RJJ's career was tailor-made for a highlight reel.
You think people will sit their kids down 50 years from now, and show them tons of Floyd fights? (maybe if they're trying to get them to go to sleep).
Floyd's style as he moved up (and hurt his hands) was just boring to "the people" you're referring to. Floyd knew this, and created a WWE character for himself. "Those people" paid to see him lose, and HBO/SHO did a great job of marketing him as the anti-hero. Worked like a charm.
Conor McGregor is taking a page out of Floyd's out-of-ring playbook as we speak. Except, Conor's style in-ring is more RJJ than Floyd, so at 27 he's well on his way to making $100 million +
So that's pretty much it. Floyd's a boxer, not a fighter.
Many people prefer fighters over boxers. And it's why Floyd's final fight was a whimper. He'll fade over time. It's just preference. You shouldn't care so much.

In reality the heavyweight hits harder. stop with your ******ed science that has no relevance.

Roy never unified until he got to 175...floyd won every title from 130 to 154 and was lineal in 4 of those divisions aswell so thats not much of an argument

So you're criticising Roy for not unifying until 175 (his 3rd championship division) but praising Floyd even though he didn't unify until 147 (his 4th championship division). Floyd only had WBC at 130, 135, 140, maybe he had lineal as well but that's not the same as unifying and it's def not "every title".

[Suckmedry]

I agree however Floyd has no win that comes remotely close to Roy's over Toney.

Open your eyes to whats being said , a Ferrari is 3 times faster than a Go Cart , but a Go Cart is quicker over 400 yrds , by the same token a dragster will blow a Ferrari away in speed but couldnt compete over a circuit .

Understand what POWER TO WEIGHT means .
