What are you even going on about?
Manny started at a much lower weight than Floyd. Manny a better version of Cotto and JMM and he clearly beat DLH.
Manny is suspect for PEDs, absolutely, but nothing was ever proven.
The Floyd Manny fight was close. People joke it was a 12-0 shutout but it was very far from that. I had it 8-4 but, yes, Floyd won the fight. Both fighters were past prime.
Manny always had fits with JMM but Floyd manhandled him. Floyd almost got sparked by Mosley and Manny was never touched. Floyd had his hands full with DLH and Manny sparked him.
Just because Floyd beat Manny head-to-head doesn't mean he's the greater fighter.
Manny started at a much lower weight and is still winning meaningful fights years after Floyd retired. The Thurman win is meaningful. If Manny beats Crawford...that's very meaningful.
And I get what you're saying. ALL of Manny's work above 135 occurred under advantageous circumstances but Manny still had to go out and do his thing...and he did.
Just because someone thinks Manny had the better career doesn't mean they're ONLY a fan of Manny and NOT of Floyd. Both these guys are ATGs...I'm happy as hell I got to watch them both. I blame Manny for the fight not happening in 2009. Canelo would've killed Manny at any time...styles make fights.
