    Castillo and Corrales were the best the era had to over at 130-135 and he beat both. Nobody is better than them in the 2000s at those weights. they cleaned out that era.
    Floyd relies on IQ, much like Hopkins still does at 51 years of age.

    Pacquiao relied on athleticism, much like Roy Jones Jr did.

    We know which type of fighter holds up better in their late stages of their careers. That's why Floyd waited, because he is smart. The only thing you can credit Floyd with is being smart, inside and outside the ring. And smart in this case can also be called cowardice. He was a great businessman, and as that he will be remembered, but as nothing more.

        you cant be serious when Manny's own trainer admitted drug testing prevented the fight from happening.

        Dude wouldnt do OSDT until he needed that $$$$

        cowards dont kick that much as across 5 dvisions...you might not like him but hey...oh well


        cowards dont have his track record, what are the rest of the fighters today? cowards too? none of their resumes stack up to his

          Fact..... I don't like Floyd... fuck him.

          Fact..... Does not mean ima discredit. I give him his props.

          Fact..... Floyd has moved up MULTIPLE WEIGHT CLASSES

          Fact.....Floyd has fought multiple world champions (whether you like it or not)

          Fact..... Floyd DOES NOT have to fight lilg for his legacy

          Fact..... GGG & his camp 1st said ANYONE 154-168 cuz they thought noone would fight them.

          Fact..... Some fighters took the bluff (Ward, Lara)

          Fact..... Lilg & his team now say only for the right fights will they move up to 168(164 for ward only) or down 154(for floyd only)

          Fact..... lilg is over 30 years old, with over 30 pro fights, has only fought TWO undefeated fighters, the majority of his opponents have been kod IN THEIR CAREERS (before and after*to lesser opposition)

            you really got me when you showed that a high amount of his opponents have been ko'ed before

              I had to look very carefully at each one... who did they fight etc.... its really not that impressive when you have only faced 2 undefeated fighters and that most/only a handfull werent ko'd in their career.... even if the ko happened after the GGG fight, it would depend on who ko'd them etc

                only fought 1 reigning titleholder, Lemieux and only beat 2 other former titleholders....washed up Kassim Ouma......and Geale who lil cotto blasted out too

                Yea he has some work to do....Im not big on hoping on fighters with high ko ratio but lacking depth on their record

                    Agreed.

                    Fact..... Floyd has moved up MULTIPLE WEIGHT CLASSES

                    True.

                    Fact.....Floyd has fought multiple world champions (whether you like it or not)

                    Also true.

                    Fact..... Floyd DOES NOT have to fight lilg for his legacy

                    Who said he has to?

                    Fact..... GGG & his camp 1st said ANYONE 154-168 cuz they thought noone would fight them.

                    They said that shortly after his HBO debut when Golovkin was relatively unknown.


                    Fact..... Some fighters took the bluff (Ward, Lara)

                    They most certainly did. Ward offered him a fight after Golovkin signed the Lemieux fight.


                    Lara called him out on Twitter.

                    Fact..... Lilg & his team now say only for the right fights will they move up to 168(164 for ward only) or down 154(for floyd only)

                    Yes. Golovkin fights for money, Imagine that!

                    Fact..... lilg is over 30 years old, with over 30 pro fights, has only fought TWO undefeated fighters, the majority of his opponents have been kod IN THEIR CAREERS (before and after*to lesser opposition)

                    Golovkin was a mandatory to Cotto (who chose to fight GGG's leftovers instead), and is a mandatory to Canelo (who's fighting a non MWs leftovers).
                    .................
