    Obvious troll thread. I'll reply anyway

    Floyd's resume has
    Corrales
    Castillo x2
    Cotto
    Mosley
    Pacquiao
    Hatton
    Maidana x2
    Hernandez
    Canelo
    De la Hoya
    Guerrero
    Ortiz
    Gatti
    Berto
    Chavez
    Judah
    Baldomir

    That's a solid list of fighter's that are good to great, with vastly different skillets. Some had size advantages over Floyd.

    I thought Castillo beat Floyd in the first fight. Floyd rematched Castillo immediately and convincingly won. Not too many fighters do that after a disputed decision.

        No one over rates any wins by Floyd. The reason he is top 15-20 ATG in many polls is because those voters have integrity and credibility and vote based on facts. They remember how boxers refused to fight Floyd when he was low reward and high risk. What they don't do is over rate guys that Floyd didn't fight or change how you judge a fighter once Floyd defeats them.

        You've been caught lying yet again so now you try and make it about Floyd fans when all the evidence shows the real issue is posters like you that have no integrity or credibility. Your hate for Floyd drives you to make a complete fool of yourself. Same with Hugh Grant and others. Its really embarrassing.

        As for this thread you can't credibly claim Floyd took no risks when he fought and beat a dude you asked him to fight and picked to defeat him.
        This is rich coming from the same guy who called for Manny's death. Talk about integrity and credibility.
        You thought I forgot about that.

        Problem is you Floyd Boys just can't live with the perception from many that Floyd pretty much cherrypicked
        the right time to fight the better guys on the resume, and it hurt him in the all time great standings and maybe worse the lack of respect from long time fans of the sport.

          He didn't have to fight Alvarez and he gets mad respect here for doing it. I can't name a fighter where I can truly say the same about Floyd.

            Taking what I posted literally about Spence or Crawford bludgeoning manny to death has nothing to do with the post or the thread. You are desperately reaching for anything now that I have painted you into a corner.

            I have no issue if a credible person has an issue with Floyd's resume. As I have posted multiple times lets use the same standards to evaluate all resumes. Whenever that is done in polls in magazines or on media sites, Floyd ends up in the top 12-20 of ATG fighters.

            My issue with posters opinions in this thread about Floyd's resume is when they lie or mislead about the facts or, as in your case, they change their opinion of an opponent they picked to beat Floyd only after Floyd defeats them.

            As for fighting guys "the right time", again I just ask that you be honest. If you feel that is what he did with Canelo, ok we can discuss. If you say that about ODH, Shane and Manny I will disagree and point out that they all refused to fight Floyd and back that claim up with facts.

            If Floyd never really took risks you shouldn't have to come in the thread and lie about your posts. You sacrificed your own credibility dude.

              To this very day we get still people unironically claiming Amir Khan would have been a risky fight for Floyd. Yeah, ****ing Amir Khan. And they're dead serious about that ****. "His hand speed would be too much". Of course when Floyd dropped his ass the narratives would change, but that's just how it is. People are determined not to give credit where it's due.

                In that fight?
                The NEVADA judges were not going to let an Argentinian win over a home town VEGAS guy named Floyd. You said that Floyd was in trouble but if you look at the scoring, Maidana could have done the same in the 2nd half of the fight and still have lost 8-4 ! 2 judges had Floyd comfortably ahead after 6 rounds, while you admit that Floyd was in trouble!!!



                If before you start the fight, you have the opponent fight with pillow gloves then cry about getting a ref that should and DID take out points for Maidana then who cares that Floyd won the rematch! Floyd removed the risks then fought!!!!





                .
                Lol... Your response is laughable. He removed the risk then then fought. Think about how ridiculous of a statement that is. Smh.

                And yes he was in trouble, he was cut early in the fight he was getting hit every where and he was struggling to keep Maidana off of him. That's what trouble is in boxing.

                Never did I say he was losing the fight. He was clearly uncomfortable in the ring but he figured it out like he always does.

                  .
                  Well had he exercised that type of enthusiasm when Margarito called him out publicly, or against a more prime Manny in 2010, these accusations of Floyd being a risk adverse cherry picker would fall on deaf ears.

                      No sir. when you are the best and you're your own man they will try to tear you down. Remember Brian Kenny was getting at him for Not fighting Baldomir? Remember that? How many have been vanquished but they keep bring up a new name. He's 42 and retired and they want him to come back. LOL
