How good is Floyd's resume.

it's not exactly Harry Greb level.

Good but not great

 

The names look nice, but like an onion, when you start to peel back the layers, it starts to stink:

• Judah (missed KD and missed DQ for Roger's ring invasion)
• Marquez (cheated Marquez on the scales)
• Hatton (ref played a huge role in spoiling Hatton's style)
• Pacquiao (injured and Floyd used illegal IVs)
• Maidana (couldn't wear his gloves)
• Ortiz (whacky KO)
• Fought Andre Berto (shot to oblivion) and an 0-0-0 guy in his last 2 fights

And we're just talking resume. When you look at the privately contracted drug testing, ducking of VADA, ultra low T/E ratios, and illegal IV fluids, it really presents a clear picture of a disgraceful cheater who couldn't compete on a level playing field.

 

Pretty much as you see it. Some cherry picking and first retirement and card stacking in his favor. Despite that his resume is pretty strong along with Pacman (who I prefer as he was usually smaller than his opponent) His win over Canelo is ageing well representing his best win imo.

 

This doesn't make any sense to me. Clenelo was 23 years old and is now 23 pounds, 4 divisions, and 9 years removed from their 2013 fight. We are seeing the absolute best version of Clenelo right now and he's still getting better and stronger (lol). It's not Floyd's fault that the timeline didn't allow him to fight the best Clenelo (today, 168/175), but because Clenelo is so far away from 152 and it's been 9 years, Clenelo's win value shouldn't increase. In fact, it's the opposite — the farther away from 152 that Clenelo fights, the more it tells us how Floyd fought a much younger, less confident, less intelligent, and less powerful fighter.

 

Names alone don't make a resume (who)

When you beat them & how you beat them also makes a big difference

Fury schooling Wlad was better than Floyd's entire welterweight reign.

 

Hatton was just dog**** at 147, went 50/50 with *THE* luiz collazo

 

Diego Corrales was drained. His chief corner guy said that had to lose 38 pounds to make weight. And he was looking at serious jail time for beating his baby momma (he did time after the fight). Drained and distracted.

Hernandez, Manfredy, and Gatti are good, but not spectacular wins.

He lost to Castillo in their first fight by most people's account.

 

Hernandez retired after (washed) and gatti was just a brawler, always a B- level fighter

 

I understand what your saying but only boxing fans know the finer details. casuals who are the large majority won't. they will just see his only official loss being clowned by Floyd.
Also Canelo has improved which shows dedication. but the moving up weights is more about doing a lot of gear to bulk up and increase power that clearly wasn't there before. As I stated I prefer Pac's resume despite a few defeats. he didn't duck anyone and was usually the smaller guy and did less of the A side nonsense that the other two mentioned who were prolific at it.

 

Great resume,but did pick his fights at times post Oscar

Not the only star to have done it. He should have dropped the first fight to Castillo, but beat everyone else.

He never lost to journeymen or had a boogeyman that was better h2h

Not the greatest fighter in history or tbe, but the best fighter of his era

 

He had more than a few defeats. "A few" is 2 or 3. He had 8 losses. That's "a lot" of losses.

Pac did plenty of A-side nonsense, drained Cotto to a 145 lb catchweight. Drained Margarito to a 150 lb catchweight. Drained shot DLH down a full weight class to WW, making him a corpse.

Canelo never drained fighters like Pac did. Aside from Chavez Jr, which involved Canelo moving up 10.5 lbs to meet Chavez at 164.5, the other catchweights Canelo had he was the one drained to cater to his smaller opponent's demands as he was the naturally bigger guy. Pac as the smaller guy clearly used catchweights to drain his much bigger opponents several times. Pac is a great fighter, but pretending like he wasn't an A-side weight bully and did it more times than Mayweather or Canelo is just plain wrong.

 

He has a good resume even with the cherry picking some of the opponents were past their best but they were not shot. Also in his mid to late 30's he was still beating dangerous younger opponents. He did usually stack the deck in his favor but that is no knock on him. His cherry picks were still much better opponents then a lot of the opponents the top guys are fighting today.
