I mean at least his uncle Roger fought a prime Pernell Whitaker, as well as Chavez. Fought Chavez 2x if I am not mistaken. And people wonder why boxing is such a niche sport today.
    There weren’t no Whitaker’s around during Floyd’s reign. You can’t seriously compare Devon Alexander to Sweet Pea. Floyd fought the very best of his era, nobody can dispute that.

    You’re talking as if he only fought one dimensional guys. Pacquiao, Cotto, Canelo, Marquez etc were all ELITE fighters when Floyd fought them and none of those guys are slow, flat footed etc.

    Which “slick boxers” exactly do you think he could or should have fought?

      Past prime Cotto
      Past prime Pacquiao
      Way before his prime Canelo


      Floyd has a terrible resume.

          It definitely wasn't like Mayweather vs. Guerrero was some major superfight on the level of Ali/Frazier thats for sure.

          Guerrero was just another slow, flat footed short armed, low risk fighter that Floyd could look good against. All anybody is saying is that Alexander could have possibly posed more of a style risk due to his speed, southpaw stance, slickness, etc.

          Well keep hating on Floyd then. I'm just saying whats on my mind. Could care less if anybody calls it hating.
          So let me get this straight...Floyd ducked Devon Alexander in order to fight Canelo....I want y’all to go out to your nearest Boxing gym and try that out on some boxing Trainers...you’d get laughed out the gym....Delusion boy I tell ya

            Aye empty head, Floyd was past prime when he beat all of them lol, think about that and then tell me when was Floyds prime ?

            There is critical thinking that has a logical base, then there no thinking just a void and illogical hate, we know which one you are.

              Nope. Floyd’s prime lasted much longer due to his lack of engaging style. His hit & run and clinch preserved his prime.

              You’re just an imbecile.
              You’re a caveman of sorts.

                You have such a fans distorted view of the sport you rave on about daily, you are all about love your guy and hate the other guy, mix that with all the female hormones you have and you got an internet maggot.

                I asked you when Floyds prime was, give me a date from when to when .

                  The Whitakers, aka the better guys on Floyd's resume were past their prime, and i don't want to hear about Floyd being past his prime as well, and I definitely don't want to hear about nobody wanting to fight Floyd; refusing to take take tests, or the Floyd Boy usual excuses.
                  Other fighters already raked them through the coals before Floyd fought them imo.
                  Floyd definitely backed out of a fight with Winky Wright, to answer your question of what slick guy Floyd ducked, Keith Thurman called him out, and his convenient little vacations meant he avoided Prime Cotto, Prime Paul Williams, fought Carlos Baldymir instead of Margarito for the same 8 million. Marquez a lightweight slow, flat footed, short armed guy that he still welched on the scales. Just face it. It's plenty of justification to say Floyd was low to no risk.
