    i'm wrong about what exactly...preferring to give full credit to prime fighters who beat prime fighters....

    only in the floyd era you have this jankyness...where he fought so few equally great fighters in their prime, that you gotta make up excuses...

      No I didn't.

      I said that in regards to Pacquaio.

      Perhaps you should read it back.

          Every era is the same. Nothing new.

          Fighters catch other fighters past their best. Doesn't mean it isn't a good win.

            Yes, only in the Floyd era where wins over highly rated fighters are taken away because of the excuse that they were old even though Floyd was older.

              a good win, hear what you said?...a good win...

              Floyd vs. Manny was a good win...

              and that is all it is....

              school some of these captain save-a-ho-floyd boys on here about what a good win constitutes, and what a great one constitutes....

                not taken away, but more put in its proper perspective

                  Maidana was a harder fight for Floyd but his win over Corrales was way better. Could go on all day in that regard.

                  2015 Pacauaio is way better than 2007 Oscar
                  Not always, I agree. But the fight with Oscar was really intriguing to me, due to Oscar's skills and his size. Oscar was much heavier on fight night, and I think it was the first time I'd ever seen Floyd completely outsized.

                  The fight with Manny didn't intrigue me at all. And it's clear from the fight and the tactics he employed, that he wasn't fully fit.
