    If you want to see a fight where Floyd actually had to tap into his ENTIRE bag of tricks.

    This fight right here is what told me that Manny Pacquiao had NO chance to beat this guy. None. Because Chavez was arguably the most impressive opponent Floyd ever had. Not Chino. Not Castillo.





    Chavez was a animal in that fight !

      Phillip Ndou...one of the last fights someone stood toe to toe with fouling and resorting to buying time...Floyd's best performance he destroyed that kid

        hard to look past Corrales as the best win, but Canelo really was a masterclass performance

        Gatti was a better performance, but Canelo is obviously on a different level so is likely a better win
        I don't get how more people don't bring up the Canelo fight....do they just look at the scorecards and assume it was close?

          Yeah good fight

          Floyd doesn't left hook to the body that often but he showed plenty of inside fighting vs Ndou.

          His signature pullcounter & jab to the body were there also

            Because the Trumpet Brigade have no clue and the casuals swallow bla bla very easy.

            Canelo was a hell of a performance, JMM was another masterclass, the boxing ability on display in those fights was just picture perfect, Floyd is a beautiful boxer his entire game is near on unbeatable over the course of a title fight.

            The way it works is the average fans can only see like 60% of whats really going on in the sport they follow, boxing is no different, they see the bits that are easy to see, so they will always notice aggression, winging for the fences and KOes , they cant see the subtleties in the art of boxing, they know they are great fighters but they cant fathom the skillset wrapped up in a near complete package because they dont understand whats on display.

            Listen to the fighters they know and most look at Floyd in awe.

              Manny was scared to attack him during their fight that’s all I know. Manny fought like a coward that night.

                  People.actually hyping up bums and C-level fighters like Chavez, Baldomir, Ndou and Corley to elevate Gayweather?

                  Gtfo. Ran, ducked and dodged every top opponent after the Castillo scare for a good 3 years beating up on no hopers until he finally fought Judah, in what should've been a DQ loss for him. Made Hatton come up in weight, robbery victory vs Delahoya, fought a Cotto that had already been destroyed by Pac, came in heavy against Marquez, made a green Canelo come in weight drained, lost to Maidana in their first fight, got every advantage he could for the rematch, then fooled everyone into thinking the McGregor fight was for buying.

                  Oh forgot to mention, DUCKED Manny Pacquiao for a good 6 years until after Pac had already been through wars and some losses.

                  What was the original question? Who cares, he's a woman beating scumbag.
