Could any other boxer in history be 50-0 if they fought the same opponents as Floyd?

    Certain guys could make the jump from 130 to 154. Just about nobody could do it over 20 years though.

    Canelo was not at his peak when he fought Floyd.

    Duran was a fast counter puncher who didn`t need good leg movement.

    Okay, what about the next 38? Really drawing an equivalency between those and JC's parade of taxi drivers?

    The last time Ray Leonard fought below 135 was when he was in high school (March 1973).

    Duran might have the skill but not the discipline........the proof is in the pudding and May aint got a no mas on his record, further proof of Durans lack of discipline.

    Hagler had discipline but could never get to 135......Leonard partied with drugs and booze........Hearns had chin short comings......Mayweather lived dreamed executed the no compromise fighter life style, it takes a lot of will power and ego to stay focused like May did.

    If it is so easy to get to 50 -0 with quality opponents how come it is so difficult to achieve ? Marciano fought mainly bums and old man but still today no Heavy except Holmes has come close.....

    Pac ? Lol, never.......there is easily a Torrecampo/washed up Morales level fighter on Mays ledger........and Marquez who face planted him for the 1000 count got 120-110 against May

    At 5'10? His body didn`t look slimmer than the 5'8 Floyd`s at all and he filled out at 168 where he was far bigger than Floyd ever was, he didn`t look that slender at 160 either despite saying he cheated on the scales against Hagler, Ray said his natural weight was 154.

    None of Floyd`s welter or light welter opponents would have stood a chance v Hearns and he would have destroyed Floyd wit ease, Hagler couldn`t even make 154 he was built like a brick **** house at 160 compared to Floyd at 154, he would have destroyed Floyd at 160 he was a killer at middleweight.

    Its obvious what happened, to anyone with any boxing knowledge that is.
    Richardson is renown for causing problems in opponents dressing room. It is expected of him. He caused a fuss about Margarito's wraps as usual, Tony offered them up willingly. Richardson then made the famous "Plaster Blocks fell out of the wraps" Which was a blatant lie No blocks were ever found. That started the whole shebang off. NOTHING of any danger to Mosely was in there. Just a used pad not a new one an accident Capetillo admitted to. The rest is history. Not one of the so called elite wanted to fight Margarito this gave them the perfect excuse to avoid him & cowardly Cotto to cry he'd been abused to. Tony gave Cotto a good asswhuping
    LEGITIMATELY
    I stick by my statement Richardson is a blatant liar & a POS & Mosely is a proven & self confessed Ped's abuser

    So you actually believe that Richardson lied about plaster, yet when the wraps were examined, there was substances consistant with plaster of Paris, but it was sweat and lotion not plaster? What are the chances? Think about that for a second. That's like me randomly accusing you of stealing my car and when the police search your house, they find a bumper that matches the car I said you stole. Kind of difficult to justify. Either Margo cheated or he's the unluckiest SOB ever.

    The substances you mention are calcium & sulphur. Indeed they are, in far greater amounts, ingredients of plaster. It took microscopic examination of that pad to find them. Because it was only trace elements found.
    Both are also ingredients of HUMAN SWEAT & Hand creme. The amounts discovered pointed to them coming from those sources & NOT PLASTER at all.
    Yes Antonio was very unlucky that night One mans blatant lie & the other admitting he'd make a mistake in putting a used pad & not a new one into Tony's wrap totally ruined Antonio's career. It was a terrible injustice
