    Does Floyd resume hold up against the greats?

    If you compare Floyds top 5 best on his resume


    1.Pacman
    2.Oscar
    3.Canelo
    4.Mosley
    5.JMM

    How does it compare to other all time greats top 5? Especially when he beat them and the circumstances could put some asterisks on his resume.

    All 5 are HOF fighters. No more needs to be said.

        I dont think many complain of the resume as such but the timing of those fights/fighters and the baggage that came with it...

          I agree and that also with Floyd who could have done so much more with his skills. He could have been more offensive and dominated those guys worse.

            The timing? At the time they fought Mayweather Pacquiao, Mosley and JMM were top 3 P4P and Canelo top 10.

            Name all the fighters that have wins over 3 top 3 P4P fighters at the time of fighting them.

              The Floyd that destroyed Diego was as good a performance as i have seen in a while. I wish Floyd would have done that more often.

                We all know the Pacman fight should have happened long before..

                We know it was basically Floyd's terms on fights (he was champ so no probs from me) hence people saw it as baggage...

                Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these to diss Floyd or his resume.. the O.P asked a question and I'm just giving my insight into why I think people turn the noses up...

                  Yes it should have. But Pacquiao was still viewed as the 2nd best fighter in the sport only behind Mayweather.

                    It doesn't hold up. Pac was his best name win but it's against former flyweight with 70 fights under belt.
