Is it just me but as a British boxing fan I can't help but feel that "money" was so overrated he ducked so many big fights that fans wanted to see I feel robbed. And I'm sorry but that 49-0 record means nothing it's manufactured. Too rate him as an all time p4p is a joke What do you think?
There were some fights that didn't happen, or didn't happen at a better, earlier time, but he was/is still a phenomenal talent and has a resume better than most.
best defensive fighter i have ever seen in al.l the years i have watched boxing but he cherry picked /was a stay at home fighter with his own refs and judges his whole career and was lucky his era was full of short /small welters / hearns/leanord/curry / even someone like honeyghan IMO would have beat him. but at lower weight classes he proved himself. but he was a negative fighter /never taking chances /boxing safely . he was also a arrogant ****er outside of the ring. but even after all this clearly 1 of the greatest fighters of all time
The guy is an arrogant, self-obsessed scumbag but he is the best fighter of our era. No doubts. The only fighters he "ducked" were Prime Pac (Pac still loses but maybe its a little closer) and Margarito who he would have schooled.
No he fought Oscar at 154lbs which was much bigger fight then took a break from the sport. Paul Williams doesnt think he ducked him. https://youtu.be/G4fEFOoaBfs
Margarito who beat Cotto Floyd got so scared to went into "retirement"... You saw what Maidana did to him, imagine what Margarito (one who beat Cotto) would have done to him. Even Cotto;- only fought him after a loss. Floyd is all about timing;- fighting past prime fighters at all costs
Flat footed plodder Margarito lol. The cheater who after beaten cotto beat nobody and wooped by Shane mosley. Mayweather UD easily. Even in the first Cotto fight, cotto for 6 rounds was doing just fine. Not a chance Margarito could walk down Floyd like that. Especially when his gloves ain't loaded.
The Maidana fights really showed how overrated he was. Or showed that he needed to retire. Looked rubbish in every fight since the Canelo fight. Defo lost 1 or 2 fights, yup. Still ****s on a fighter like Khan from a great height lol.
