    He has an outstanding career but people will never forget the ducking of prime Manny and the robberies against Maidana and Castillo.

    If Canelo beats Benavidez and then unifies at 175 it does get interesting...again I dont see him being successdul at 175 but its possible

    JLC1 shouldve been a loss and Maidana 1 probably shouldve been a draw. Its really this simple, are either of Maidana or JLC as good as Duran or JCC Sr? The answer is no.

    The kid just had his debut & this guy has to make it about himself, pure narcissist (just like when he tried to make it about himself after Inoue stomped Fulton)

    He seems to think that constant proclamation of his TBE status will cement that in public perception or something where as it just makes him across as an insecure douchebag (which he is)

    Henry Armstrong or SRR or Duran never needed to emphasize their TBE status every damn interview

    That TBE proclamations have & are working especially to the low IQ boxing public plus the way all the networks in the US/UK keep on ringing his name by promoting, mentioning him over definitely has taken it's effect,

    The more you keep repeating things ends up influencing the public i see it all the time with the NBA Media/Shows that have been trying desperately hard to prop up Lebron James as an equal to Jordan, etc where has he is far down below , it works every time.

    It is not even that the Castillo loss discredits him (though he surely thinks so because he puts a lot of stock on the "undefeated" record)

    Rather its that his career had a lot of smoke & mirrors quality to it where he would pick the right guys at the right time at the right place to fight like the Cotto fight after he took a horrific beating vs Margarito & got stopped by Pac. He turned into daffy duck when Margarito ambushed him asking him why he isn't willing to fight him, looked positively panicked (today if you ask him why he never fought Margarito he will say Margarito was a cheat but at the time this incident happened, no one thought Margarito was a cheat)

    There was that time when he called out Winky Wright & wasn't heard from again after Winky agreed to his clauses. His delusional fanboys will tell you that Winky priced himself out, righttttttttt

    Never fought Kostya Tszyu either though Kostya beat his uncle Roger (Kostya was on Showtime & Floyd on HBO yes but his fanboys are never so charitable when they proclaim other fighters ducked people) & instead fought Gatti the "paper champ" as he called him (after he beat Gatti who already had a lot of mileage including the trilogy with Ward, he suddenly proclaimed Gatti to be a legit world champ)

    He never fought outside US though Hatton had the whole of UK behind him but demands Inoue to come fight in US (which he already did 3X) even though Inoue makes far more money in Japan & also gets career high paydays for his opponents when they go to Japan. All his big fights were in Vegas & we know the retroactive IV use exemptions he conveniently got after the Pac fight while Pac was denied his painkiller shot for the shoulder

    Paul Williams used to say Floyd wouldn't fight him because he didn't have a vagina

    Rick Glaser also claims that he ducked Paul Spadafora twice where he was involved in trying to get that fight made. I have no way of confirming his story but what is known is he sparred Spadafora & looked less than stellar (though of course sparring is sparring), the tape of that session exists

    As he shamelessly once put it to some rapper who called him out for his cherry picking & ducking "legacy don't pay bills"

    No! The part you're talking about is when Floyd was asked who the biggest ducker, obese, druggie is.

    Would he really have to become undisputed at 175 to surpass Floyd though? That seems like a lot to ask.

    Crawford becoming undisputed at his third weight class 147 wasn't near as difficult as Clenelo being able to do so in his fifth against Bivol and Beterbiev, even this near 39 y/o version of Beterbiev. Neither was Clenelo himself doing so at 168.

    Floyd has got to keep blowing his own trumpet trying to keep his name in the news because no one else gives a hoot about him. He really was his own worst enemy. He had the talent to maybe be rated among the elite but he lacked a champions heart & courage so he let them make him Vegas cash cow so he never had to try to fight for survival Vegas & the NSAC had his back covered & everyone knew it
