      And with Castillo, he legit lost the first fight.

      There you go 48-1.

        Nope because the best Floyd was 130-135 Pretty Boy Floyd.

        Floyd was just too good they couldnt beat him and they cry a river lol, his easiest wins were Manny Canelo and JMM the guy that iced Manny lol, dam they were easy wins.

          Canelo was his best win in recent times. Many thought Saul would win.

            Unfortunately for Floyd is a legit great fighter. I wouldn’t just ask this question in reference to the last decade.

            You can legit ask this about his whole career. Forget about this last decade, the real question is did Floyd EVER fight an elite fighter in their prime.
            I've asked this of his career many times. His fans like to believe that anyone who dislikes Floyd is a hater, or dislikes him because he beat their favorite fighter or because of his arrogance and troubles outside of the ring. But for me, it was never about any of that shyt. For me it was always about the flash before substance. How his opponents were hyped up with clever PR and how he managed to avoid fights against some of the most dangerous fighters across all of his weight classes....Johnston, Freitas, Casamayor, prime Mosley, prime Pac and Cotto, Paul Williams, Margarito, Winky, Martinez, and several others. He avoided the top WWs of Thurman/Garcia/Porter towards the end. When he did get a big name in the ring it was when he could catch them at a disadvantage, either coming up in weight, past their prime, or too green.

            For a guy with all of his talent and ability, he never really put himself to the test against the best at their best. He also got some gifts along the way that can be disputed until frogs fall out of the sky, but for me, there will always be a question mark regarding Floyd's entire career. What if he really chased after the best fighters while they were at their best?

              And Judah was coming off a Baldomir loss...how did he get the fight? Let's not forget that Judah legit scored a knockdown in that fight that was ruled a slip.

              That fight should also have been ruled a DQ loss for Floyd once his uncle Roger entered the ring illegally.

                Show a video so you can see the feet, Floyd caught his foot on judah's at the same time he was moving back and grazed with a shot and was slightly of balance, they actually both landed shots, and they also tangled feet all night, happens a lot with Sth Paws because the lead foot is in the same place.

                You are so desperate to get some miniscule feeling of beating Floyd, youre such a loser.

                  Maidana.

                  OLDH was coming out of his prime bit close enough to count in my book.

                  Ortiz was a weak win and damaged goods already but was also prime as an athlete and boxer.

                    This is how I know I've gained ground in the argument...when you Floyd fans eventually resort to insults and name-calling. You've got nothing left in the Tank. You've added nothing of value to this thread. Zab landed a clean punch, it should have been ruled a knockdown and Floyd should have been DQ'd once his crackhead uncle entered the ring.

                      Floyd gave Oscar 25lbs on fight night, Manny was 2 lbs heavier than Oscar and Oscar had never been that light in over 10 yrs .

                      Work it out its not really hard, the Oscar Floyd beat would destroy Manny.
