Let’s be honest if floyd beat thurman......

[IceTrayDaGang]

Didn’t floyd fight manny right after he pulverized the great Chris algirie? And it was confirmed by Freddie roach that Floyd was down to fight manny back in 2010 but the drug testing is what delayed the fight initially. Floyd signed the contract manny didn’t. So you might want to blame Pac for that.

yes, fought waited until marquez nearly killed manny. then floyd was all game after that. before marquez nearly killed manny, floyd was still running around with "i will never do business with bob arum".. i think you forgot that part.

signing a contract that his team draft up with all his demands doesnt mean anything idiot! that's why there's a thing called "negotiation" where BOTH teams have to come to an agreement.

Yup. That's the excuse after Floyd could no longer use the peds accusation cos he got his *ss sued by a defamation case which Manny won. $$$ right out of his pockets just because of his big fckn mouth. Serves him right.

That’s true, but that’s what you get when you’re the best of your era in your sport. You get put to higher standards. I do think Mayweather would get some credit though, definitely not as much as Pacquiao though. Thurman’s layoff, inactivity and shoulder injury would be put on blast by writers and fans a lot more for Mayweather.

Who are we kidding. If Floyd beat thurman, floyd fans wouldn't mention lopez fight, and only talk Garcia and porter wins and how old Floyd was at 36, fighting undefeated, young prime lion who didn't know how to lose

[hugh grant]

"green" Canelo is still a much better fighter than fighter that "prime" Thurman is.

What evidence you got to prove that? Nelo never beat anyone of note.
If Floyd beat thurman Floyd wouldn't acknowledge thurmans shortcomings. Just like they won't acknowledge nelos at the time

[REDEEMER]

Thurman would be a tough fight for any inactive fighter , have to say no.

Why is this a conversation. Thurman was mandatory to Floyd's WBC title and called him out incessantly. Floyd ignored it, cherrypicked Berto, and in the wake of Manny beating Thurman, now you got Larry making threads protecting Floyd from cherrypicking, and this thread is obviously downplaying Manny beating Thurman.

This thread was not made to downplay manny beating Thurman. If you actually read what I said, I said that thurman would be a good win for anybody INCLUDING Floyd. It was about people trying to downplay floyd as they do after he beats a opponent.

[Beercules]

This thread is another case of...

Woulda
Shoulda
Coulda

Alot of wishy washy argument

At the end of the day, he didn't fight Thurman who was the mandatory for Floyd's WBA belt. Thurman called him out several times. Didn't give his fellow upcoming brothas a chance. None. He fought old Berto.

Canelo had just beaten an undefeated Austin trout who just beat cotto. Canelo was packing out shows stop acting canelo was just fresh on the scene and popped out of no where. People was saying floyd was ducking him just like he was ducking manny. But once again after Floyd beat them he was green and not ready but before the fight Floyd was supposed scared of him.
