I don't recall very many people saying any opponent was gonna beat him...maybe at some other point before Floyd faced them. going into fights, he was the clear favorite almost every fight. the guy won almost every fight convincingly, but let's not make it out like he was some underdog who faced insurmountable odds...he was a safety first careful matchmaker through the back half of his career.

Leading up to there fights I thought for sure De La Hoya and Canelo would beat him, but he easily dealt with both

And Floyd's legacy is that of an ATG. To say otherwise is stupid.
