    Why would a guy who started his career at 130 be expected to beat elite fighters at 160?

        Lmao another “I hate Floyd” video huh. Why would he fight at 160? Lil g was ducking Andre Ward who would’ve came down to end his hype.
        Canelo got dusted and will always get dusted by Floyd.
        “And even then forced lads to move down..” pure lies and bull*****! Only one person came down to a catchweight and that was Canelo- by two pounds. Canelo suggested the catch weight himself. Floyd never made 154 he always came in 4lbs short while opposition came in blown up. Only Cotto was disciplined enough to come in at 154 on fight night against him. What’s important is Sergio Martinez quit to an older Cotto that Floyd outclassed. Why would anyone imply Floyd was worried about fighting that nobody?

            I wouldn't count Floyd out against anyone close to his size...but he was naturally a small guy...same with Pac...that they were both able to compete very well up to 150ish pounds is really impressive...especially with how guys cut weight now...someone like Errol Spence is naturally 1.5-2 weight classes bigger than Floyd imo...and at least 2 bigger than Manny.

            The way Floyd 'struggled' with Maidana and his size/power at 147 though kind of tells you that fighting a real solid 147 pounder...let alone a 154 or 160 guy...would have been tough for Floyd...the naturally biggest guy he faced was probably McGregor...who actually did really well vs Floyd to my surprise

              And GGG still hasn’t moved up lmao what a fraud

                  Everybody knows that GGG and floyd would never fight. There were no offers. You seem to have been brainwashed by the media pushing for an unrealistic fight just because GGG said it was his "dream" fight. Dream fights and offers are 2 different things. During that period, Sergio and GGG should have fought each other instead of worrying about floyd.

                    He said he would go to 154 for the fight. There is no brainwashing there.

                      Because Pacquiao can..
                      Thats why Floyd is far from greatness when compared to Pacquiao.
