      His attitude was always why should I be disadvantaged? Why should I fight someone bigger, stronger, longer reach, talker. Without getting g something back.
      No real daviiud and Goliath moment in Floyd's career, or very occasionally at best.
      He went from 130-154 and beat everyone...what else do you want?? i am confused because you defend GGG to death and he literally hasnt fought anyone

            If Floyd cherry picked then everyone in the history of the sport did..his resume is amazing as he fought nothing but world champions and p4p fighters

              what demands? purse demands, weight demands,glove demands, ring size demands, location, etc...

              what cherry picking....refusing to fight marg for more and fighting bums like judah and mitchell, refusing to fight pac(40 million flat lmao), canelo at 152, all the bums that he hyped up, etc...

              yes he worked his way through 5 divisons picking who to fight and who not to.

              yes he was able to be lineal champ 4 times through cherry picking. when certain guys were at the top he went missing.

              no he didnt not earn his way to the top. hbo gave him a free ride and let him choose his opponents. they helped him gain his popularity then he used it against them by picking crap opponents for most his career or well past prime opponents.

                I dont get how people slam floyd and have favorite current fighters..no one is taking the challenges he did, fighters are not taking risks and yet you slam Floyd?? What fighter is even close to being lineal in 4 different divisions?? what fighters are fighting p4p fighters on a regular basis?? what fighters are even fighting other champions fight after fight?

                  did they have 4 world champs in boxing history? no they did not. if you want to compare floyd to other great fighters just look at a guy like ali or sugar ray leonard. it would be like ali waiting until foreman had lost and then fougth him. waiting till frazier had been ko'd and then fought him. leonard waiting until hearns had moved up and lost until fighting him, waiting until hagler had been defeated and draining him. i don't remember them doing that but if they did you would be there saying yeah but ali fought some beltholders and eventually fought the good guys so its all the same. no its not the same. its the difference between beating ronda now and beating ronda when holly holm did it.

                    I would have liked to see him fight fighters that would have gave him a chess match in the ring. Casamayor at 135, maybe Vernon Forrest at 147 and Lara at 154. Those would've been nice to see how they play out but not really holding it against him either.
