Plus, he should’ve been dq’d in the Judah bout, lost the first JLC fight, lost the first Maidana fight, and drew/lost the Manny fight.
    Youre in dreamland , Manny moved up and drained the big name guys which was the smokescreen for 99% of his next fights at WW being against JWWs, and they talk about Floyd cherry picking he got nothing on Manny, so easy to prove.

    As a little guy he out weighed Morales Barrera and JMM on fight night, he was really a weight bully if you want to get technical .

    So please go easy on the he fights bigger stronger guys will you that is such a fable .

      Morales and Johnson don’t come close to any of that 10 IMO. Great fighters but not that level in terms of accolades.
      Young know it all

      Ok.. I grew up in a gym... long line of fighters...

      Nice and interesting post

      I miss my time in Mexico

        How would a bias sucka know what's good or not anyway? You think Floyd picked his opponents at his weakest, ydksab pleb.
        No, I do not think that Floyd picked his opponents at his weakest. He fought them all on his way up. But he did take his time signing the Paq fight though, running up the tab for his services. Smart, as I've stated before. And the guy could fight/box his ass off...............Rockin'

            Maybe you are the one to answer me on this, it seems like a hard question for some,, tell me how did Floyd know Manny would say no to the extra random blood and urine PED testing, the fight could have gone on then and there Floyd was in signed sealed and delivered everything was agreed to bar one and it was Manny that pulled that card.

              So cannot be considered risk taker. So not higher echelon great.
              Top 25 all time would be fair. Floyd fans won t like that so to p 20 then for a quiet life

                All the evidence that proves you wrong is right here:




                Look at the dates, look at the demands. It's all bulletpoints, quotes, and source links to make it easy.
                • First TR wanted the fight at 140
                • 60/40 split
                • Arum says Floyd might not get 50/50 split
                • They said Floyd wanted 154 and 10 oz gloves
                • Pacq wanted 10 million per pound over the weight
                • Then it's the venue (Cowboys or MGM)
                • Arum leaves negotiations over Schaefer
                • Drug testing, Roach and Koncz agree's
                • Pacq doesn't agree to testing
                • Arum cancels the fight
                • Top Rank wants 14 day cut off date for testing (LMAO)
                • Pacq wants to fight Malignaggi
                • Pacquiao doesn't want blood drawn (ROFL)
                • 14 day cut off was offered
                • Pacq refuses 14 day cut off (WTF LMAO)
                • Floyd takes 14 daycut-off off the table
                • Arum wants 24 day cut off
                • At some point it's the built stadium won't be ready (lol)


                Yea man, Floyd didn't want the fight when it should have happened. It's all there, all live links.

                  It’s ok, Ghayweather fans. Your ghay boy picked the money over the legacy. Ffs, he fought a non boxer in McGregor...how can y’all even count this as a professional fight...IDK?! He fought Berto?! He definitely took the money route over the legacy so just help him count his bills because your boy never took the risks associated with being an ATG. He’ll always bow down to Pac on this one.

                    Wrong about what? That when they finally did meet in the ring that Floyd kicked Mannys ass? All of the evidence just proves that you are just itchin' to prove me wrong about something that I never stated. State you point or FO!..........Rockin'
