    Why are you losing your mind over a bag of water and ions? Manny threw his right hand with power all night long. I thought the fight was a 7-5 Floyd win or a draw. Before you overreact about Floyd jabbing and potshotting almost none of his own punches connected and he was grossly ineffective offensively. Yes, Floyd defended well but so did Pac albeit in a different way.

    I had no problem with a bag of normal saline solution nor a torradol injection. Unfortunately Mannys team didnt complete some form beforehand but the injection wouldnt have changed anything. What an awful fight it was

    All due respect - its easy to see youre just browsing boxrec and aren’t really aware of how thing’s were at the time for a lot of these bouts.

    ie. you talk down on Maidana for losing to Khan - Khan was steam rolling everyone when he beat Maidana…. And terrible refing vs Lamont likely ruined his career.

    Canelo wasn’t near prime when Floyd took him to school.

    Marquez isnt an under rated win - he went up in weight and was fat (compare his physique vs Floyd and when he moved back up later for Pac again/Bradley)


    All that said - I don’t fully disagree with you - and Leonards resume is nothing short of amazing.

    Floyd resume was very meh. He has zero elite wins and often caught guys before they were prime or on the decline. Still a great fighter and ATG in fact but some of his bootylickers rara him as the GOAT/TBE and it has me ctfu

    Floyd also renigged on the CW with JMM that was supposed to be 144. So Floyd literally drug JMM up 12 lbs...pathetic.

    Leonard career better than Floyd

    Floyd is around top 40 all-time.

    His record doesn't compare to those in the top 20.

    Well, people can say what they like about Mayweather but he easily handled a prime Golovkin, even though it was at 154.
    Golovkin was such easy work for Mayweather that they didn't even bother having that fight in the end. What was the point?
    Mayweather TKO Golovkin

    It’s amazing to watch the same people make the same tired arguments attempting to diminish another man’s accomplishments. Floyd is an awesome fighter, he beat other great fighters/champions/HOFers and deserves his respect. His resume in modern context is great, like it or not.

    Hatton was dog**** at 147. He should never have moved up. Not to mention, before Hatton v Tszvyu, Oscar fought at MW. So a MW calling out a JrWW....great fight.

    Even if he didn't fight everyone he should have when he should have, Floyd still has the best resume of any fighter in the last 25 years, and the only fighter who really comes close is Pacquiao.

    And the idea that Khan or Margarito would have had any chance of beating Floyd is laughable. Margarito sucked, TBH. There's a reason he had to resort to using plaster to win fights.

    Calling ODLH who fought his last fight at 140 a middleweight just shows your delusion. Go wave your flag man. Pathetic nonsense.
