How come the top fighters across 5 divisions couldn't solve the MAYVINCI CODE?

    Floyd was better than all the fighters of his era

    JLC got to face an injured Floyd and still couldn’t win 7 rounds clearly

    The guys who knew how to fight Floyd still couldn’t make him fight their fight or completely outfight him

      Floyd would change the code on the fly round by round, it left opponents befuddled frustrated and lost.

        How very dare you miss Pac and dlh off list also?
        But the the mayvinci code was solved. But Floyd did make it hard for others as he didn't give rematches as he knew opponents learnt more from first fight than he did with their higher IQ. I'm sure nel o would have beat floyd also in rematch.
        Other than that he ducked young lions and only fought in backyard with cw

            Prime Cotto, Wright, Manny, Margarito, Williams, Khan, and Thurman wanted a crack at the code, but oops, Floyd was either on vacation, or already scheduled to fight a 110 lb kickboxer

              There’s many replays on YouTube of people scoring the fights try watching them even Roberto Duran States Castillo was robbed

                Pac Delahoya were close they could have got the decision but when your opponent buys the ref and the judges it’s hard to get the decision

                  Will we ever see anything like that again? Why was the MAYVINCI CODE impossible to solve?

                  It's a bit of a myth to say he fought them all. He avoided guys like Khan.
                  Before all you casual start spouting stuff like 'chinny' etc. Respect Khan's record, where it was at the time, his major world titles, his wins against champions, and above all his speed.
                  MW knew, he knew, t stay the F**k away from Khan. Meanwhile he fought Maidana twice.
                  Mayweather was and is one of tbe, but he definitely was smart about opponent selection.

                    ODLH and Castillo also showed how to beat him.

                    I've said this many times with respect to Floyd: blueprints are easy, on paper it isn't a secret how to defeat a fighter of his style. Execution is the challenge. Floyd retired undefeated because no one could execute, not because it was some mystery how to approach the fight itself.

                    So yea I don't really consider an unbeaten record some "uncrackable code", he just won the fights he needed to win.
                    They didn’t show how to beat him because all 3 of them lost.

                      I am asking what your round by round scorecard was..you can not run with a theory that someone won without being able to back it up..what rounds did you give Castillo??
