    Ask yourself honestly, where you disappointed at the quality of matchups over the 2nd half of his career? I was.

    I was a big big fan of early Floyd, until it starting feeling like my pocket was being picked

    His resume is in the history books for good. No amount of spin or explaining away will change the fact that it is underwhelming

    Yes, we all know you flamos support doping and cheating.

    I want Gannicus to admit Floyd walks this Earth like a god

    Not once did boxsensei bring up IV's in this argument but he did counter the whole "Floyd doesn't disclose his fight night weight" argument, then there's this response:

    :patsch

    .......

    You can either believe Floyd or don't, if you choose not to, there's no telling what he used an IV for. Speculation is speculation. :good

    I already addressed the age issue at the very start. RING AGE. Also, you avoided all of the other important points I made regarded Genaro, because they are the truth.
    Besides, the 22-23 year old Canelo was green tbh.

    It's possible, but these guys don't work out.

    How was he green when his "Ring age" was almost equivalent to Floyd's? :patsch:patsch:nut:rofl

    Skills. He was still developing as a fighter (to get to the top level), whereas Floyd to his credit was legit even before Genaro.
    Nevertheless, Floyd fought an unusually slow, lacking in sharpness, Genaro. Genaro was past it.

    So his ring age in this particular case is irrelevant because the exception only fits where you choose to suit your argument? Got it. :good

    I work out.

    Hey, I wonder how Mayweather would feel in my state. I'm fasting 3am-9:30pm with no water. I still work out.

    I haven't needed any IV's during fasting yet, nor has any of the old diabetic men who are fasting, too.
    Mayweather cuts 3lbs and all of a sudden he is severely dehydrated. :nut

    Floyd was green, but in terms of skills, he was already a truly elite fighter and closer to the peak of his abilities than Canelo was.
    Canelo's reign at 154 and 155lbs has helped him evolve more as a fighter.

    'It's time to clean up the sport, USADA is love, USADA is life'.
    vs.
    'It's time to clear out your back pocket because USADA has been feasting in it'.

    IF he was truly dehydrated, it wasn't from cutting weight.
