    Floyd has always looked beatable. Even if you go back to look at him against Augustus he is taking shots continuously, he looks no different than the guy Maidana and Castillo beat up.

    JCC vs. Pernell Whitaker

    Julio was 87-0 going into that bout and had been made to look befuddled at best, ordinary at worst against he slick quik south paw Sweet Pete.

    The mayweather that fought maidana wouldn't last in the ring with guys like

    Matthysse
    Porter
    Thurman

    Superman vs Faora. The way she toyed with him was crazy to me.

    Whitaker vs Hurtado - Whitaker was getting outboxed and was behind all 3 scorecards before the TKO.

    Donaire getting pressure all around the ring by Concepcion exposed his weakness.

    The Special One Kell Brook looked beatable in the 1st Carson Jones fight when Jones broke his nose with a headbutt, however that was quickly rectified in the rematch and provided he doesn't have his nose broken with a headbutt he is unbeatable.

    Joe Calzaghe, to this day, I am convinced he is invincible.

    Yup. Maidona upped his game. And Floyd had to work for his money. You could see the 18 pound weight advantage that maidona had. That's a lot of weight to spot for a welter. And he still overcame and still won.

    What kind of nit-picking bull**** is this? RJJ literally toyed with people in his fights and dropped Griffin alread. He would have won that fight and I think RJJ-Tarver I was a great example.
