HBO's endless hype convinced you that a guy with no defense and no power beyond 112 lbs was the best p4p in boxing and even more crazy....better than Floyd! Props to Sor Rungvisai

Originally posted by TheBigLug View PostDepends how you look at it and your agenda though. Would a guy who claims to be the best ever go life and death with Maidana and also possibly lose to Castillo?
For the record, i consider Floyd one of the very best of all time. I'm just saying you can spin things however you want.
Gonzalez was a very good fighter at his best. I never quite felt he was as special as some did though.

Originally posted by SilverMiles View PostDude Floyd just went 10 rounds with a 0-0 amateur and lost 3 rounds in the process. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take Roman 10 rounds to stop an amateur.
Even still that's somehow worse than getting put to sleep in 4....ok

Roman would fuk floyd up pfp.
This is just idiots being idiots. Fighters lose/get knocked out. Duran would still murder floyd and so would hearns, despite both having been sparked.

Originally posted by megh50 View PostEven if you argue that Floyd lost the first fights with Maidana and Castillo, he adjusted and dominated in the rematches. Gonzales is good, but couldn't make the necessary adjustments in this fight and therefore lost. He can only fight one way...going forward. He is a good fighter, but a pound for pound fighter would be able to make adjustments and do better in rematches.

Originally posted by TheBigLug View PostWell people get carried away and mostly it's them wanting to pull Floyd down anyway.
He isn't as great as Floyd, nowhere near but Chocolatito has still been a hell of a fighter in his time. I said he would get KO'd tonight anyway, he just ran into a guy that's too big/strong for him at a time when he's probably faded too. It is what it is, i saw that coming.
It still doesn't undo how good Gonzalez was in the past though.
Props to Gonzalez, was a heck of the fighter but his best days are clearly over. Happens to all boxers eventually.

Originally posted by TheBigLug View PostIndeed. As i said, i've never felt he was special and never put him on a level with Floyd, not even close. I said he would get KO'd tonight anyway. I'm not even that sure i'd be confident to pick against Floyd even if he come back at 40 to face the top WW's, such is his greatness in the ring.
