    Floyd could never unify anything while cherry picking everything.
    But that was before, now he is unifying all the CIRCUS in town :zpong:

    The Floyd bout was Manny's second unification bout. The first one was against Agapito Sanchez. :chuck:

    Because he's a pathetic cherrypicker/condition setter like Canelo that's been massively overhyped by people blind to his antics.

    I agree but Pacquiao is a 5 weight lineal champ. That's what's impressive about him and not his 8 division champion bs..

    Floyd is a 4 weight lineal champ, not too shabby.

    It would've done more for his legacy if he'd unified with Leonard Dorin (at 135) and Carlos Maussa (at 140)?

    I think his legacy is fine. (LOL)

    And his fight with Diego Corrales was a unification, but Corrales dropped the belt just before the unification. (Didn't want to pay two sanctioning fees).

    Yes, I'm sure picking up belts from Leonard Dorin (at 135) and Carlos Maussa (at 140) would've put all those "cherrypicker" claims to rest. (LOL)

    Cool story, but this isn't a Pac thread.

    So... double standards?

    And I was highlighting the fact that unifying belts isn´t as big of a deal.

    Well, the posters before me alreqdy made it clear what Floyd's history is.
    I just added something a bit off topic.
    Sorry if it got you emotional.

    He unified his 'Novice Basher' world title he won against Sugar ''Money'' Mac against that Japanese bantamweight kickboxer and now he's going to unify it and the belt he harvested in that one against Youtube Champ Logan Paul whose weaker sibling just single handedly destroyed the entire NBA whose ranks are full of ATG HW boxers who opted to play bounce the ball on hardwood instead of a competing in a real man's sport lol
