    Not to be a Floyd defender here but Floyd probably shuts him out too much speed and accuracy.

    Floyd is good. People need to get over it. He could probably school a few ATGs.

    And you base that on him shutting out C and B level fighters right? When was the last time Floyd fought an elite fighter in his prime? When Margarito called him out he chose the easier route, then there was Paul Williams, Kostya Tszyu, Miguel Cotto, and of course now Manny Pacquiao.

    You can look like a million bucks when you carefully pick your opponents.

    :deal Napoles is from La Escuelita Cubana, very familiar with Floyd's style. Some of those losses Napoles had he avenged them when he started his 20 fight win streak. Big right hand too, from a smooth fighter, unlike most of the predictable robots Floyd's career is based on. Napoles had Mosley power, but with an educated jab.

    Margo was never elite and he's a disgraced cheat. Zoo wasn't prime when PBF was at 140 and lost to Hatton when PBF got to 140 not to mention he was a Showtime fighter and PBF was with HBO so why bring that up? PBF wanted to fight Cotto when both were with Top Rank but Arum wouldn't let Cotto within 2 time zones of PBF. The same Arum who continues to get in the way of good fights with that said PBF fought Cotto and beat him later. Williams? I guess but he was never elite most top guys at 147 never fought him either.
