code can you honestly say the names he has fought are better then the ones he did not here... Should of fought Margartio but he fought baldo should of fought cotto/williams but he fought judah should of fought martinez but he fought ortiz should of fought a prime Pac but fought a shot mosley should of fought a prime mosley but he fought mitchel
It's always if Floyd beats this guy then.......etc...y'all been saying that since Oscar and you still don't give him credit. He has defeated all your favorite fighters plus some. And even at 38 no one still comes close to defeating him
Agreed i always said when Floyd retired and let all the other ww's beat each other up and for him to come back with only Pac standing was a smart move
Isn't the point to fight highly ranked opponents in their prime and let the results, the relevant respective records over time and history take care of the ATG bit? If you're not doing the in bold above then you're not giving yourself the chance to have history reflect the same.
Ok ortiz was a tougher fight then sergio martinez 2011 what about cotto/williams instead of judah prime mosley instead of mitchel? You honeslty can say floyd fought the tougher fights?
And you think in his B side days Floyd could fight whoever, whenever? Floyd begged for fights with A side's all the way till 2007, these guys you call prime didn't fight him not the other way around.

Oscar was several weight classes higher than Floyd. The only time the fight could have happened was 2006 or 2007, unless Floyd skipped divisions.
Floyd had the chance to fight the p4p king and a atg in his prime but rather then just fighting him with the customary testing he came up with RBT which complicated everything. Pac did not care about if floyd was on roids he just wanted to fight how come floyd did have this attitude ?
Floyd did have a chance to fight a atg in his prime his name is manny pacqauio heard of him? He could of just fought him the way he fought hatton,oscar but no he asked for something not customary but thats not the point the fact is he did have the chance to fight a prime atg
Hatton ATG,hell no... ATG,fight the best at their primes. So a bum beat Tyson past his prime, so mr nobody is Atg?
Floyd is One of my favourites,i'm not still blind. Man has great resume and great career,however it could have Been even greater. I don't say it's a shame,but it's obvious Floyd has matched him carefully after ODLH.and also have defended Floyd manytimes,that in prizefighting it probably made the most sense. But let's atleast stop pretending Floyd fought actively against the best.it's just not the case.not Floyd fault always.but it's just the truth.
You have to get ko'd by a Torrecampo level fighter. Then, you have to lose by bodyshot from a Singsurat type fighter. Then you have to take a Hussein jab, take HGH, and wait for guys like Morales and Barrera to beat each others heads in and claim they are prime lol... Then get knocked unconscious by a Marquez level fighter.
