    I miss Floyd not having the chance to show he was better than people thought he was.
    That he didn't fight somebody they didn't think he could beat and prove people wrong. LIke at 160 against GGG, even at a CW of 157 if necessary. I think FLoyd missed a great opportunity. Or beat Nelo at 160 now. Or even a couple of years ago.

          Not really, he was a great fighter so if he was still active and in his prime it would be interesting too see how he’d deal with Crawford, Spence, Porter etc. But I don’t miss the media circus. There’s only so many time you can hear the same type of scripted promos before they become boring and meaningless.

            Fair point, after Corrales in 01, he was never an underdog in a fight again I think. Partly because he was so talented and partly because of great matchmaking.

            It should’ve been Pacquiao in 09/10. I always thought Floyd would’ve beaten him but A LOT of people would’ve favoured Pac around then.

              Not really miss him, but I definitely appreciate his talent. I don't think he truly captured people emotionally to make them miss him like I think Pacquiao will be missed.

                Yep

                No Floyd, no Dre, Wilder's getting old too. I might be back to the shadows and history sections soon enough.

                  you miss watching one of the best boxers ever?

                  can't possibly imagine anybody else on a boxing forum feels the same way
