    When I first saw him box, I was instantly sold longterm. He kept proving me right until the day he quit boxing.

    I like Castillo too, a stand up guy, but he's a footnote to boxing history. He'll be more remembered as a sparring partner to Chavez than Floyd's biggest win. To me, Immanuel Burton was Floyd's toughest fight, a fight Floyd needed to dig really deep. Maidana and Castillo don't qualify.

    I'm more impressed in the display of boxing art and science than a brawl and face first stuff like GGG (the topic starter's favorite fighter). Floyd was both the artist and scientist.

    Floyd is among the three best known boxers ever: Ali, Tyson, Floyd. Deal with it.
    Golovkin was a boxer with high ring IQ, being a fan of Floyd and slick fighters you would know this. Thus, you actually don't know boxing as much as you think you do, or you are baiting and insisting Golovkin fights like a neanderthal because it fits your agenda.

    Always a red flag among boxing fans when a cat calls a fighter who comes forward aggressively, and who doesn't use a traditional variation of the philly shell, a face first brawler. That kind of binary and simple mindedness is the very **** I hate in casuals and boxing beginners. It's like telling me a rook can't be offensive in chess. It's facepalm worthy.

      Golovkin is straight up and down, bruh. No special effects.

Was 115 113 mayweather on two cards and hbo had it 115 113. Floyd largely outlanded on power punches again. So why do his fans have to pretend it was some kind of shut out win? There should have been a 3rd fight
        - -TUE 51-0 fans, never having matriculated out of grade school like to hold onto their crotches with the schooling they never had.
