    • I am starting respecting Floyd right now, when I see those guys nowadays..

      Spence fought Ocampo, now he wants to fight a guy from lightweight division..

      Khan fought Lo Greco...now he fights Samuel Vargas..

      Thurman is inactive, because he wants no piece of anybody dangerous.

      Canelo fought cherry picks like Liam Smith and Khan..

      GGG fought Brook ( 147 fighter than)..

      I mean, was Floyd a cherry picker? Maybe. But at least with a style.

      This guys now are just delusional. That`s why they`ll never make money Floyd made.

        there was a string of #3 welters, and Floyd fought ALL of them..... Pac did not fight one of them, and at that point in time had never fought a welter ranked higher than 5

        those guys were waaaay better than Rios, Algieri, Horn, and probably even Vargas

        SUPER-harsh critic there

        the #2 (Pac) would not fight Mayweather..... so those guys are exactly who Floyd should have fought

        I will go further..... Pac avoided them

        Guerrero laid hands on Manny during sparring, and Roach described Pac/Ortiz as..... "the best sparring EVER"
        Ok I don't understand why your bringing up Pac for??I never mention Pac in my post..I was talking about Ortiz and the ghost which both fights I could have done without and I really thought there were better fighters for May to mix it up with..That is all..

          He foughtnin Vegas because that's where the money was/is. If there was an option of making more money anywhere else, he'd have fought there instead.


          a numbing agent would DESTROY brittle hands

            who ?

            those guys were both ranked #3.... and #2 wouldn't agree to random blood tests

            like he said, that string of #3's.... is exactly who he should have fought

            I mentioned Pac as an example of much worse opponent selection/cherry-picking..... Floyd fought guys who were hot, because he wanted the money..... the timing/selection by Trampler/Goodman was masterful..... you LITERALLY had to show signs of slippage before they would consider you

              I thought Martinez(who said he'd move down for Floyd at the time of the Ortiz fight)or Lara who both would have been just as lucrative at that point..Floyd was A side and was the one putting butts in the seats..

              No biggie but that's would have made him top 5 with those wins..For me tho he's still top 10 so no real big deal..

                His best wins are against past prime opponents or to his conditions. Never faught out of Vegas because Nevada let him use a numbing agent that no other state would. That's why all his major and 99% of his fights where there. His hands where to brittle without it.
                He got his ass whipped the first fight against Castillo. Yet will not admit it to this day. He did whip Castillo in rematch but either way he is not a 50-0 fighter. He ran from Pac for 5 years and had come off a brutal knockout by Marquez. Oscar's fight was a Oscar clearly not fighting to his potential with drug issues but even at that had a UD lost and him being the aggressor and landing more regardless the % as we all know Floyd's difference is 2nd to known and to dethrown the Champ you must beat the champ convincingly. The Floyd didnt do as it could have grown either way but in reality it should have been a draw or loss again for Floyd. Marcus Mad. Did a # in 1at fight which called for a rematch but there floyd won both but 1st fight was much more then Floyd thought. Floyd thought that he 2as that much better then AB that he would show AB how it was done. Backfired on his ass to. Lol.
                Drained Canelo 2lbs when he was already having issues making 154. That was Canelo's faught for throwing out that he would go down to 152 to get Floyd in the ring and Floyd with his truly great boxing IQ jumped on that deal and then Canelo made the issue even worse by trying to out box Floyd rather then ruff up his body like he can at such a high level. But that was the best thing to ever happen to Canelo as he had no amateur pedigree at under 50 fights and turning pro at 15!!!
                Think about Canelo's pedigree vs Floyd's and he is only just now 28 and entering his prime.
                Difference between Greats like Oscar, GGG, Pac, Sugar Ray Leonard,
                Mahammad Ali, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, even Klitscho brothers fought the best they could get in the ring in there prime while Floyd crafted his career into a money market by acting as a villain and people bought his PPV to watch and prey they got to see him get his ass kicked.
                And if anybody that watched Oscar vs Tito or have no rewatch it. Oscar smoked Tito and was robbed by his promoter, corner and judges. He fired all after that fight. The oscar that fought Tito would have hurt Floyd badly. Floyd always waited till the danger was done enough and the payday was high enough for the risk and a HOF name for his resume.
                Dont get me wrong. Floyd is a great boxer but do I think Floyd beats a Prime Sugar Shane that begged for years or a Pac. A Tito or Oscar prime at 147 or 154.
                Floyd is a all time great but his greatest achievement was his way he marketed himself and saw the slightest slip in a fighter to know it was ok to take the fight at that time.


                Did you really just say Pac fought his best opponets in their prime????? He boosted his career off of fighting guys at catchweights, after losses, and when they werent champions. He also didn't fight floyd at the right time because of drug testing.

                LMFAO at GGG as well, his resume is trash in comparison to floyd's and he's NOT an all time great.

                Please name someone who fought 12 CONSECUTIVE champions/P4P fighters and WON.

                  They were all champions at the time and all Top 3 welterweights with guerrero being ranked P4P as well. (except for berto since that was a retirement fight)

                  Cmon who else fought 12 Consecutive champions and won??? Who has a better run than that???

                      What's wrong with JMW??He held a belt there,and had fought there a bunch of times..I think the opponent was the issues not the weight..Just saying..
