No it hasn't. actually this thread is going to be 10000****ingthousandpages. Thanks MVC, you sonovabiatch.:deal
Not recently, he doesn't...Floyd has beaten just as many top 10 lb 4 lb fighters in the world. Floyd has not fought an unranked opponent since 2005. ALL of his opponents have been top 3 in their division and/or top 10 in the world.:deal Manny Pacquiao's last 2 opponents were ranked higher when Floyd fought them too.:deal
Floyd is definitely the better boxer.. He's good at controlling the tempo of the fight.. People always see him as a defensive fighter but as much as I watched him fight, he likes to be on the offensive.. He's too slick that most of the time he counters, he moves to a direction where he can't be hit.. He's got a precise right straight counter over his opponents left jab which he uses as his lead punch when he is fighting southpaws.. Mixing it up with weaving makes him a very difficult target to hit.. He's got good timing that his left hand counter that's coming below hits first even if his opponent throws the punch first.. And when he's in trouble, he's got a tight shell for defense and his shoulder roll.. And Pacquioa.. And Mayweather? Cherry picked his opponent.. :deal
So fighting top 3 in a division and/or top 10 in the world is cherry picking opponents:huh...Dissagree but it's your opinion..shouldn't avoid facts.:deal
But he is cherry picking lately.. :smoke And plans to cherry pick again after his fight against Cotto.. :deal
I like Manny, imo he's a all-time great. Plus he is a much more exciting fighter to watch, but Mayweather is the superior skilled boxer. Pacquaio wins usually impressively against most of his opponents. Floyd dominates everybody usually in boring fashion, but dominates nonetheless. They will both be considered 2 of the best ever when it's all said and done, but Floyd will always be considered just a step above Manny. Similar to the way Robinson is considered to be a step above Willie Pep, as the greatest of all time.
If fighting top 10 in the world and/or top 3 in there division is cherrypicking. I just think your argument is weak; especially when you don't acknoweldge that he fights these levels of opponents. I respect your opinion...it's just a weak opinion.:deal
