Is Floyd to good, or is there a lack of competition?

    Nope. Very well managed career. He avoided risky competition. He is only after money fights and not for legacy. His skills are superior but not tested against some styles...

    Definetly too good.and also that people keep dismissing floyd's opponents and putting on pedestal the opponents floyd didn't fight.fight with alvarez is great example.people keep saying floyd will duck canelo he is young and big.future of the boxing,after the fight people start to say canelo was never anygood.just waiting that canelo will move up to MW and start to dominate there,even still people would say canelo was too inexperienced etc..

    Before the fight always hyping up the opponent and after saying floyd was fighting a bum.people keep hating no matter what.luckily 20years from now,history books and people rate floyd very high,just like every other ATG boxer keep getting almost better when the years pass by

    Name those so-called risky fighters so we can laugh at your hating as.s.:D

    Name the styles he was untested at...so we can see how clueless you are.

    C'mon with it...

    He's great. But his resume isn't. His best win is Chico. he hasn't fought a top 100 ATG, with the exception of JMM ( who was waay above his weightclass)..

    The Comparison with Leonard above here is ridiculous.

    He's a great fighter in an era where boxing is slightly losing ground.

    i can name one Bob Arum

    double standards with floyd always.calls out early 2000's PRIME mosley,de la hoya etc.. don't get the fight because too much risk too low reward.people never remember these kind of FACTS.floyd was the most avoided boxer in early 2000's

    hernandez,corrales,castillo,gatti,de la hoya,hatton,marquez,mosley,cotto,alvarez

    best resume in modern boxing with pac.

    people keep hating floyd so much that they forget floyd's resume is full of great fighters.people are almost acting that floyd resume is full of taxi drivers etx..

    Floyd is exceptional its time to appreciate & acknowledge his greatness.
    (Incase you only hate him because of his "Money" persona)

    And actually it's not ridiculous.SRL wasn't very active,was not dominant for long time,only got 4great names on resume other than that not so good.benitez and hearns are the only good wins.duran was LW for godsake and Hagler was way past his prime,and actually why stop.benitez was never really that good,and slightly past his prime.only hearns was really good win and SRL got lucky that hearns run out of gas,even that win is depatable..


    And yes i respect SRL very high,only downplaying the archievements like floyd haters do. Really SRL archieved great thinks so as floyd.
