    Floyd was in his prime in his 20's as a welterweight and fighting at the top of his game. Another simple fact that you ignored. Ignorance is not a badge of honor.

      what fighter do you know is at their best in their FOURTH DIVISION? and most of his time there was in his thirties genius


      by the time he beat Gatti, he was already 28 and had 34 fights already.

      Floyd was at his best @ 140 and below.....he had all the athleticism of his youth and years of experience as pro....also he was more aggressive and hurting guys

      when he fought Gatti his record was 34-0 (24 kos). He was having hand issues ever since his lightweight days and you can see that by the brands he used after he moved from 130.


      Floyd was in his prime in the early to mid 2000s....not 2007 in his 4th and 5th division and constant hand issues...dude also changed his style to compensate for the size disparity he gave up and brittle hands


      did you even watch boxing back then and see how different he fought before his welterweight days?


      trying to be a smart azz while looking like an idiot must qualify as a badge of honor.

        why is it, you guys never compare him to guys in his best divisions in his PRIME.....He fought most of his fights @ 140 and below
        part of his prime was spent @ ww as well imo...

        Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir...he was still prime imo...

          He may have had 2 years tops in his prime or near it @ 147


          He was better suited for 140 n below and it showed through his style, performances n age

          He had 5 years in his prime below 147 so it makes since to discuss him vs guys @ his best ....not his 4th n 5th divisions ....dude is top 3 all time @ 130 for Gods sale

            Counter punching was not Williams' forte. That assumes you don't get nailed on the counter punch like he frequently did.

            The fifth, not mentioned, is a rock solid chin - which Williams certainly did not have.
            Williams had a great chin. I've never seen a fighter take a specific huge shot so many times. He must've eaten 100 Martinez left hooks in their first fight. Oddly enough, Martinez worked on timing it better and put Williams to sleep in the rematch.

            Floyd doesn't have a good left hook (against someone larger). Not a chance he'd land a check hook on Paul.

            Only knock on Paul is that I'm not sure he's mentally capable to defeat Floyd.

                  Yes, they really do think that...they're ****** and think that cotto could outbox marga******o, but Floyd somehow couldn't. Ignorance does this sort of thing to them.

                    Floyd barely beat old de la Hoya at 147. Stop hyping this guy, just stop.
                    You're getting him mixed up with that farce of a fight Manny had with him idiot...Floyd fought him at 154.

                      Clottey was schooling him until he broke his hand too. People will reach for anything thinking that ******ed cyclops would've won 2 rds vs Floyd.
