    His resume does not hold up under close scrutiny. In comparison to other ATGs like Pacquiao, Morales, Ward, Usyk, etc you see a pattern of Floyd not fighting other elites in their prime. Whereas those guys refused to give a single inch against the best of the best.

    He's been doing it all along he just got caught this time NSAC bailed him out ,or tried to but just ended up proving his guilt. I do not believe you know a damn thing about it only what you get from the media Carry on buying Floyd's circus events all you want but I don't think your any boxing fan at all. I'm done with ya

    If it isnt Floyd's fault that there weren't any ATGs around when he fought then it isnt Pacquiaos fault that there were ATGs around when he fought and then he beat them.

    There is reality and then there is fiction. Pacquiao has the better resume when placed under scrutiny. Even Max Kellerman who loves pure boxers will tell you that. Pac fought better competition and if people cant handle that then that's on them.

    Well the thing is Manny had the underdog effect. Whereas Mayweather was supposed to win everything, growing up a winner. The only time he was an underdog was against Corrales and we saw how that went. You really can't take points away from someone for being that good, plain and simple, he was supposed to win every fight and the fights he was supposed to lose, he won. And when he underwent scrutiny, beat them even more convincingly.

    You can't fault fighters for being as good as they are. Pac ran up the ranks for sure - but he ducked those testing restrictions for a good reason until he needed the money.

    There are a lot of good wins,yes those are some of hte best wins ever, and maybe my standards might be a bit too high (I hate when people compare Ali to everyone else,because people need to understand that,that standard is just dumb) but there are other good wins man and I'm not gonna include Ali,because that is not fair nor am I including,Frazier or Norton.

    So some other great victories was Hearns KO of Duran. Ezzard Charles beat Joe Louis on a roll, yes he was 137 years old,but it was a decent win. Liston beat Patterson,Randall Beat Chavez,Tyson vs Spinks( Yes, Spinks was a Light Heavyweight,but Spinks beat cooney and Holmes who was on a 48 win roll, so it was good)

    These were good wins too. Maybe it is a bit unfair as they are some of the ATG wins,but still

    Mayweather vs Maidana 1 116-112 in favour of Mayweather.Even at the half way point,Maidana was absolutely dominated in the second half of the fight losing 5 of the last 6 rounds in very one-sided fashion.

    Hearns fought Duran at 154, where Duran had virtually none of his power. He was 3-3 in his last 6 going into that fight, I wouldn't call it a great win. Duran was basically just another titlist at 154. He had a good win vs Barkley after that fight, but even before that but after Hearns lost to a random contender. He wasn't the ATG Duran people think of at that weight class,

    Okay then I take it back about Hearns win against Duran. I didn't look at what his last 5 fights looked like.

    I sometimes wish that instead of Duran going up to fight these guys. I know it is ridicolous for Hagler to,but atleast that Leonard could atleast after No Mas could go down to fight Duran in his world
