    And Floyd's legacy is that of an ATG. To say otherwise is ******.
    I get what you were saying...I'm just saying only people who really wanted him to lose favoured his opponents. He was the favorite against all of them, except maybe corrales depending on who you listen to.

      I don't personally think pac would have won...but he was more explosive and hadn't been viciously KOd. Just his athleticism, speed and punching power makes him live...he was a shell when they finally fought. What that fight not happening in 2010 did was rob Floyd of a career defining win over a prime atg fighter.

        He's the best of his era just the issue will always be that he barely has any wins where he beat a good/great fighter at their peak outside of Corrales & Hatton. If he fought Cotto, Mosley & Pacquiao in their primes as well as fought Williams & beat all of them than there's absolutely no one that can hate on him outside of trolls just wanting to start stuff. But unfortunately he cared more about being a businessman than caring about having a much better legacy than he does now. Boxing historians will always hold that against him.

              He never faught a fight where he wasnt heavy favorite tho. No one actually thought he was gonna lose any of his fights (except early in his career maybe).

              Prime Mosley, Cotto, Manny I believe would have been much closer fights even tho I think Floyd would win

                too true.

                these so called fight fans give more credit to fighters they will never see in action (or see very little of) than a guy who has visual proof to his greatness.

                  him being the favorite in every fight is a testament to his greatness.

                      I agree

                      But the fights I mentioned would have had more narrow odds. As I said before I still think he would win...

                      Floyd VS Canelo was a joke fight for example. NO ONE thought Canelo was ready
