Just the slightest could lean the judges to go the other way. Floyd methodically fought the boringest fight of his life on purpose. Just look at the first Maidana fight compared to the second one. Two different fights. You can say Maidana went harder the first time but u can also say Floyd allowed it to be like that. That's one thing about him. He dictates the fight. Like 90% of the fight is what he allows and doesn't allow. That is the biggest thing I appreciate about him but also hate as a fan cuz the fights be boring.
    Agree with some points, not with others. Maidana in the rematch made him work for real, if he was going to keep it quiet he'd have to run and clinch for life, and the ref helped immensely in that. Pacquiao on the other hand was in pure boxing mode, the days of Pacquiao breaking guys down with his high tempo were long gone, and Mayweather definitely benefited from that along with the style he emloyed, a boxing match with the longer, bigger, and just as fast fighter was obviously to his advantage.

      It was disappointing to see someone as immensely talented as Floyd, continually take the easy route - inside and outside of the ring.

      10/10 talent, but 4/10 desire. He genuinely had the ability to be considered the best of all time, but that ship has sailed.

              No, Floyd might have outgrown division without not nessarily having done all nhe needed to do in the division he outgrew.
              Flkoyd diudnt move up as he did everything people wanted him to do. I want GGG to beat Jacobs, bjs and neko before moiving up

                      I don't think that was the question though.
                      Credits floyd as an influence lol. Influenced to be an ego driven overpaid undermatched *****.
