What? There were zero other opponents for Floyd to fight in 2017. Spence and Crawford have FINALLY emerged as legitimate opponents but Floyd is 43 years old. Pacman at 41 clearly beat Keith Thurman and I can only imagine a 32 year old Manny would've badly injured and stopped Keith. Floyd would've done the same except more outclassing and less injuring.
Floyd is his own person. He "retired" to exhibitions and paid sparring matches. It's not his fault boxing is so corrupt that it can't produce 1 single quality fighter.
Floyd and Manny are generational fighters. When you are spoiled with TWO of them at the same time...enjoy it. There will always be a VOID after they leave because they were special.
Happy we at least have Canelo and Crawford and Inoue to help fill the hole. LW - 135 seems to have a real nice group emerging too. To be a PPV star though and the face of boxing you need to be more than great...you need to be a personality and have a nemesis.
