Yeah Floyd fought at the 106 golden gloves when he was a teenager as well. Like I said atleast you admit you aren't fair when comparing them. Most people pretend they're being objective when they aren't. So fair play to you.
Floyd as an amateur at similar aged not much more than flyweight Canelo had a higher weight advantage over Floyd, than cotto had over pacquiao. Manny being a malnourished kid isn't a point
look we're shifting the gole post here the question was why May don't get the respect for the win, he dose unless the person is crazy af, a bit of shine comes off the win because of the **** he himself said he said catches weight fights where bad he said rehydration clauses where bad
Doesn't matter, they were both flyweights as teenagers, both welterweights as full grown men. Manny did a worse catchweight against a worse opponent at LMW.
Manny also didn't t say **** about catchweight fights May the other hand said they where bad so by Mayweathers own standards for lack of a better word some luster in s lost
You've already owned up to your biases on this thread so there's little point continuing. I just think it's mental.
Floyd had already fought de la Hoya and Cotto at 154, so challenging a still-greenish Clenelo and demanding a catchweight does take some of the luster off an otherwise master class, and Floyd has nobody but himself to blame. And yes, there’s some hypocrisy with Manny’s fans wanting to ignore the catchweights with Cotto and Margarito, but given that Manny wasn’t billing himself as greater than Ali, SRL and SRR, and that Manny had turned pro at 112lbs, and had a blistering offensive style that battered Miguel and Antonio into submission, he understandably receives a bit of a pass.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Are you saying that both Floyd and Manny weighed the same as teenagers and as grown men? Then why did Floyd demand steroid testing for their fight, claiming that nobody could climb through weight classes like that without “having that sh!t in him”?
It literally comes from Manny not having a problem with catchweight fights and Floyd making a big stink about it
Yes they both weighed similar throughout their lives. Floyd demanded drug testing, do you believe this was a good requirement to put into fight contracts or a bad thing?
