    Like nelo at 152 but dlh at 154 same thing right?
    But Pac stepped up much more than Floyd anyway.
    So what's your point?
    You fail to mention CWs and losing form going into Mannys fights how convenient to leave that out of Mannys profile, historys CW king.

    I can beat anyone when I handicap them enough lol.

    Floyd beat a 20lb bigger Oscar, a 15lb bigger Cotto, schooled a 150 JMM who KOed Manny, undefeated Hatton and Floyd rematched and schooled any close fights.

    If you want to go head to head fight for fight, Floyds resume blows Manny away.

      I don't really go fanboy very often and in my lifetime there's been so few greats. I liked Floyd, Hopkins, Ward, and now my guy is Deontay. So, far as making good fights, I'm good my dude.

        The elephant in the living room for Floyd will always be the IV, he received at his home, before the most lucrative fight in boxing history.
        Questions will always linger about the circumstance of it and how it was kept hidden until weeks after the fight.
        It's unfortunate but people will always wonder about it and it will taint his legacy.

                Most fighters today are member of the Floyd Mayweather/Canelo Alvarez school of fighting people when it's advantageous for them in Las Vegas, where the A-side wins, usually.

                It's just how the game works these days.

                There's a few guys like Lomachenko, Spence, and Crawford who I think would fight anybody, but overall, most guys want to be like Floyd/Canelo and make millions, fighting twice a year against the least dangerous competition that they can.

                I'm not hating, as I can see why guys would do that with how dangerous the sport is, but it's not what's best for the fans.

                Floyd was also a cherry picker

                Are we seriously still denying floyd cherry picked a lot of his fights?
                This is probably the best answer, possible.

                Just because Floyd's a cherry picker doesn't mean he's not an All-Time great and doesn't have a great resume.

                What it means is that he minimized risk and maximized profits, which is smart, but he can't be TBE while playing it safe.

                      The "cherry picking" Floyd did is most boxers HOF dream career.

                      What the Floyd cherry picking bs is really about is Floyd was just so good that most of his fights weren't even seen as competitive & the ones that were competitive he usually ran them back to diminish that stance with reasonable fans.

                      So there is some amount of expectations that make people see Floyd's career as some mastermind performance in matchmaking when the reality was he was just viewed as so good whoever he would have beaten some people would have felt like he never took a "real challenge" unless he had been beaten.

                      And I mean the reality is Jose Luis Castillo was the closest guy to taking his 0 & likely woulda been whoever he fought. The often mentioned Paul Williams & Antonio Margarito fights that never happened wouldn't have had much chance to beat Floyd cuz they were too limited & Floyd had far too many tools in the toolbox.
