This vid gives an opinion on which were Floyd`s toughest fights, which were actually his toughest though? This vid has Manny on the list. This content is protected
Why in the world would Manny Pacroid be in there? That was one of Floyd's easiest beatdowns, 118-110 and Pac took a beating that fight.
Castillo 2x Maidana Oscar Judah Mosley Cotto Corley Pacquiao Chavez No particular order. Hatton probably at 11
That's a pretty good list. I might be inclined to include Augustus, as Pimp mentioned. But all of those opponents provided varying degrees of challenging moments for Floyd.
I didn't notice that, but Cotto made Floyd's nose bleed throughout the fight. Floyd vs Pacquiao was another very tough fight that Floyd has never admitted that. He just keeps telling people that he beat Pacquiao easily. That's not the truth but it's a lie.
I'm a huge Manny fan, but I accept completely that Floyd outboxed him for the majority of that fight. However I'm not sure it was a tough fight. I think it was very technical and cagey fight at times, but tough suggests to me a physical or technical struggle. Save for few moments that Manny had, I'm not sure it was that tough. Happy to be challenged on this though???
Hatton had Floyd shaken to his very core with that left hook in the first round. He was almost flat out.
Pacquiao hurt Floyd twice, had him running. Except for Maidana, I don't know anyone else who landed the cleanly and hurt Floyd twice in a fight. The 116-112 majority scorecards was also one of Floyd's closer fights. I think only Castillo, ODLH and Maidana was closer.
It's a flat out lie. Show me 7 rounds where Floyd CLEARLY outboxed Pac? Maybe you'll find 3 rounds, in the later rounds. But the first 6 rounds, people scored a round for Floyd on the basis of him landing an extra jab. When you have that much reach and height advantage it really isn't that hard to land an extra jab.
