    ...when Floyd beat him? Just asking? I see a bunch of threads saying Floyd dont fight this guy or that guy when they are good, great, etc... well is being ranked #2 in the world not considered good? Considering Floyd has been #1 for 10+ years he can't fight himself can he?

    For years Manny was touted as the Mayweather destroyer. Now his name is never mentioned. GGG is the new beast sent forth who can beat Floyd.

    By this logic DLH'S win over the best fighter in the world is legendary and maybe the greatest in like 50 years.....

    Are you referring to Chavez? I assure you know one considered Chavez the greatest fighter in the world at the time but Manny was surely ranked #2 was he not?

    LMFAO, they're comparing a shot Chavez, to a Manny who they claimed beat the 3 p4p a year before he fought Floyd hahaha, that was their argument, now Bradley is trash, and he was never p4p, and Manny was old and shot.

    If I remember correctly, some of the pfp lists for April 2015 had Pac in the 4-6 area.

    And for the record GGG was considered a bigger threat to FLoyd even before the Pac fight.

    Pernell was billed as p4p.

    p4p rankings are only useful in retrospect after years have passed.

    Pernell was P4P, and even when over the hill he gave ODLH all he could handle....can't say that about Manny though, maybe his P4P status should be revoked unless he's fighting the Bradley's or Algieri's of the world.

    Even Chavez knew he was too old and over the hill to be in the ring with a young Oscar!! He only went through with those fights out of pride!

    Like I said p4p is useful only in retrospect.

    First of all, Floyd didn't fight Manny. How do you fight someone when you're father calls you a coward on tv and you don't do any damage to your opponent? Floyd AVOIDED Manny. That's all he did.

    Secondly, you're a bltch.

    Got to have more respect for Bradley than that. He's legit.
