    Manny damn sure did not fight cotto coming off of a great win so that goes both ways right?

    Manny fought an even older oscar and a lower weight

    Canelo was a unified champ and once again people claimed floyd would duck him


    not sure why you only try to use these standards for floyd but not others..makes 0 sense
    larry you have mastered the tu quoquo fallacy im proud of you but my question is were those guys coming off the biggest wins of their careers going into the floyd fight? the answer is clearly no. is trout canelos biggest win? no. is algeiri for pac? no. etc...

        I thought he easily beat Corrales as did many of us. Corales was a slow fighter with a big punch. Before Mayweather fought him fighters were beating him handedly up to the point he knocked him out. Watch Corrales-Robert Garcia. Garcia was out boxing him and in the corner he asked his trainer if he should knock him out. It was a mistake because Garcia went for the knockout and lost the title but if he kept boxing it would have been an easy fight.
        oh without a doubt. corrales resume was pretty piss poor going into the fight which is probably why floyd took the fight. he had his biggest wins after floyd: casamayor, castillo, freitas. and yes he looked easily outboxable against garcia. people fail to remember those flaws sometimes, like when mosley ko'd margarito ok great win but he clinched more than wlad in that fight, and in the fight before he was being outboxed by ancient mayorga.

            Glad that you didn’t refer them as Canelo fans

                Floyd schooled and embarrassed Manny for 12 rounds.

                  Floyd will only be remembered for what he didn't do. That's why Floyd s fans are so anxious and OCD about repeating how Floyd supposedly schooled pac.
                  Floyd will be remembered for IV fluids to get a wi n. That will be lasting impression.
                  Floyd could have made the last memory a rematch, but no. Floyd don't do what great fighters do.

                    Floyd schooled Manny. Floyd beat every opponent he faced and stayed unbeaten. Floyd is the current FOTD.

                    Didn't you say you'd never post about Floyd ever again if he won FOTD?
