floyd vs real killers

[Eff Pandas]

people said he was going to lose before all of his fights only to complain and cry after he won..So now ya'll have to use fantasy fights

Lol this.

Plenty of mfers were supposed to beat Floyd before the fight only to be called cherry picks after they lost according to some geniuses here & other forums.

Pros for Floyd: great defensive fighter, undefeated in 50 fights, dominated the WW division.
Cons for Floyd: lacked offensive fire power, dominated a mediocre WW era, fought his legacy fight 5 years too late.

Floyd has 3 WW HOFers on his resume. That's not a mediocre era.

Most mfers don't even got one HOFer on their resume. Sh^t some mfers didn't even get to fight a HOFer.

Name some eras when their where 5 or more HOF guys fighting each other at or near the same time frame & you'll easily see this was an above average era at a minimum.

Also I disagree with Floyd being not offensive


As he went up in weight he developed his style, at the lower weights Floyd was good offensively

Yes very good at the lower weights.

Just face it people floyd talked a lot trash flashed a lot of cash and beat your favorite boxer while never getting dropped or knocked out cold like your favorite boxer did. And left the game with millions and his marbles still in tact.

No Mas Duran would have retired if he fought Floyd. Look at how frustrated he was in the second Leonard fight.

Whitaker and Pryor would have been better fights for him.

You kids don't know sh it

As I said, Durán would have mopped the floor with your girlfriend.


I am not explaining what happened in that 2nd fight again, you should look into those posts since I have told that story a few times.

Those "killers" posters love to bring up lost to lesser fighters then Mayweather and were not as consistent as Floyd and did not fight top champions/p4p boxers like Floyd did back to back to back..say what you want but Floyd ONLY competed at the ELITE level and WAS NOT OUT HERE FIGHTING MANDO'S..H was fighting OTHER TOP CHAMPIONS!!

Who are these HOF WW's? The problem with saying "he beat 3 HOF's" is it has no context to it.
How old were the fighters he beat?, was 147 their best weight?, etc. If a fighter beats a 40 year old former top guy, it's a lot different from beating him at a younger age.
I never understood how fans think because a fighter was great at 30, if you beat him at 35 it's just as good. Another mistake fans make is thinking if a guy was a great FW that somehow translates into him being a good WW.
Marquez and Hatton are two good examples of guys who were great at lower weights who lost a lot moving up.

Floyd came from theose same lower weights. But people act like he only fought at 147. He started lower than hatton, mosley, cotto, judah, and everybody else except marquez and pacquiao

You're right that Floyd started at a lower weight and decided his best weight was 147.
What I'm saying is if you look at their records Marquez and Hatton were great fighter but only average welters. Cotto's was 27-0 at 140 lbs only 14-6 above 140. Guys move up because that's where the money is or because as you age it's harder to train down to your best weight.

Another "I hate Floyd and I don't know much about Boxing" Thread I see...
Then people wonder why it's so many Floyd threads. It's certainly not true Boxing fans making these threads. It's his haters making them everyday. Every time the clock strikes midnight.
Floyd was OLD himself. There are no old killers that would've done jack squat. Mosley wasn't old when Margarito or Manny fought him. He's only old because Floyd destroyed him. Why couldn't Manny destroy Floyd who was old when Manny decided to fight him?
Why couldn't canelo destroy Floyd who was old?
Why are there so many double standards and fantasy disadvantages when it comes to Floyd?!
All those guys pre 70s> racked up resumes fighting bums. That is a fact. They looked good against bums. And y'all give them praise. They even loss and struggled with a few of those bums. Y'all still give them praise. Yet y'all hate Deontay Wilder? Floyd looked SUPERB against HoF opponents every time. Floyd fought at the highest level and made it look easy. No other fighter has made Boxing at the highest level just look easy like that for so long without any tune ups.
The welter division was at it's best during the Floyd era. There were never so many HoF and multiple division champs in it at one time- before in history.
