    average fighter that retired to duck solid competition and only shine in a weak division. Enough said.

            Those who understand the sweet science know why Manny couldn't get off the way he wanted too.Floyd was able to offset Manny's rhythm or any sudden momentum he had by simply controlling the range with the range finder jab. It was so easy for him to anticipate Manny's movement that way and beat him to the punch. Once in a lifetime type of boxer.

                Floyd is the only fighter i know that can basically shut out the other best fighter of that era in Manny and get no credit. He also basically 12-0'd Canelo, the guy who was supposed to be the next superstar after him.

                It's just the way it is though. People said he wouldn't dare fight Mosley after Mosley destroyed Margarito and was considered the no.1 WW at the time, then Floyd beat him and suddenly Mosley was old and shot.

                Some just won't give him credit no matter what. He could come back now and beat every WW in the top 5 and some would find a way to discredit it. To be fair, he probably could actually do that.
